I have used the same manufacturing process for many years, with no issues, what are the benefits of employing 3 phase design to look at new materials or manufacturing techniques?
New technologies often mean that you are able to reduce product costs or manufacturing times, which bring about a more competitive product, we are happy to give an initial appraisal of your systems to see if they could benefit from our assistance.
I have a complete set of IEC 60439 certificates, however my customer has specified that they require IEC 61439 certification, what can I do?
There are a number of options open to you, the most practical solution is to engage 3 Phase design to review your documentation and give the various options for upgrade to IEC 61439.
What is the difference between IEC61439 and BSEN61439?
