TEST-4-SME project is a transnational project lead by Tartu Observatory. The project will start on 1st October 2017 and continue till 30th September 2020 incl. three months of the closure phase.
The EPC Team is happy to become partner of the network!
The project is part-financed from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
The project aims at initiation of an innovation support network in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) to provide testing and consultation for electronics SMEs on how to demonstrate conformity with international standards during early product development.
No electronic product can be successfully placed in global markets if conformity to standards is not proven, which typically requires extensive testing of product prototypes. Early stage testing can also help avoid failures in later stages and thus can be extremely cost-effective as well.
TEST-4-SME network members are conveniently located in the BSR and have expertise in a wide range of testing methods needed by electronics producers. Network members will advise and train SME staff in conforming to standards.
The partners will also share knowledge across the network to improve the quality and efficiency of testing in order to speed up the process of product development. The project will also also analyse the landscape to identify what other electronics testing providers exist in the region to see if they can be included in our network via referrals or in the future.
More information is coming soon.
