Certifying Next Generation Technologies for Tomorrow, Today: Bluetooth, WiFi, Zigbee  

Newtown, CT (July 31, 2007) –As a company, you don’t want to make newspaper headlines about coming to market with products with serious flaws. As such, it is important to certify technologies properly. Certifying technologies means protecting the intellectual capital of the inventor, ensuring that all products meet certain criteria, and that they work well so that the standard takes off and becomes successful for retailers. TÜVRheinland ®, the leader in comprehensive product testing and assessment services, has a unique lifecycle testing program, Global Retail Solutions (GRS), that goes a long way in preventing cutting edge products from coming to market with flaws.

In an increasingly competitive marketplace, utilizing the most up-to-date technologies and knowing what’s coming next is also a key component for successful retailers and manufacturers. And while knowing what’s coming next is important, deciding which trends will be effective is critical to this success. TÜVRheinland ® is helping retailers and manufacturers integrate into future trends by certifying cutting edge technologies today of hot products that will be selling tomorrow, such as Bluetooth, WiFi, and Zigbee. 

“As technologies evolve from one medium to the next, such as Bluetooth which is expanding beyond telecommunications/communications related applications into arenas like next generation audio decoding technology, or the use of LASER/LED technology from field force applications for use now in DVD/CD drives, we help companies grow with these technologies. Our product lifecycle management portfolio can assist in this development at any stage of the process,” says Jerry Manion, Global Retail Solutions Manager of TÜVRheinland ®.  “Our ability to work with manufacturers in terms of integrating technologies into single footprint products with real ‘convergence’ is a key benefit.”

While technologies aren’t “globalized” per se, consumer and often retailer expectations are, thanks to universal resources like the web—the information playing field— TÜVRheinland enables both brands and retailers to cost-effectively develop product solutions that resonate with consumers on a global (or market) level. The company’s inherent understanding of the entire process from “concept to consumer” enables mass retailers to get a better class product both quality and value-wise. This becomes particularly critical in a global retail environment where technology changes rapidly and prices drop drastically. TÜVRheinland’s GRS portfolio has the ability to ensure products are designed to protect the retailers’ bottom line as well as the consumers’ expectation level. TUV’s breadth of experience encompasses categories such as A/V, MAJAPS, LASER/LED, Bluetooth, WiFi, and Zigbee.

Through the company’s product lifecycle management portfolio, GRS, companies can rest assured that they have access to the resources for everything from design review to WEEE/RoHS Compliance, available anytime and anywhere worldwide.

The company leverages over 135 years of experience in global product testing and assessment services in more than 300 local offices in 60 countries, in all major economic centers of the world, with 11,000 employees worldwide. The GRS portfolio is targeted to retail supply chain and quality assurance executives to enhance efficiency and productivity by providing an all-encompassing line of testing and inspection services for the life of a product from concept to end of life, at convenient global locations.  The resources and stability of the organization enable TÜVRheinland ® to grow with its clients.

TÜVRheinland’s services provide  integrated solutions so that  retailers can better plan, forecast, understand pricing dynamics, and product cycles, to name just a few of the benefits. The GRS portfolio establishes product-specific test protocols according to industry standards, government regulations, and consumer preferences for durability, “fitness for use”, functionality, environmental impact, and safety. To do so, TÜVRheinland ® assigns a test engineer for scheduled audits and certifications at the client site, anywhere and anytime around the world, drawing from its international network of consumer product testing and inspection engineers in over 300 locations.

Solutions For Retailers

TÜVRheinland’s knowledge of the competitive product and retail landscape makes a retail buyer’s job easier and TUV’s global representation provides invaluable peace of mind that in today’s age of massive returns and recalls is beyond critical. GRS provides comprehensive lifecycle management in all areas of design review, conformity assessment, sourcing, production, shipment inspection, purchasing, consumer, and recycling. Retailers can ensure products selected meet safety, performance, and warranty requirements, as well as risk and quality assessments, and that suppliers adhere to quality, environmental and social accountability standards. TÜVRheinland® inspectors and engineers ensure the testing of new product designs and conformity assessments.

Solutions for retailers also include:

  • Safety Certifications (Regional and National)
  • Production Quality Assurance
  • Return Programs
  • Product Analysis Assessments and Vendor Training

Quality control inspections are designed to reduce or eliminate the risk of importing defective merchandise, and meet both domestic and international regulations.  Areas covered in the on-site factory assessment include:  product capabilities, quality control, training, procurement process, code of conduct, social accountability (SA 8000), and workplace environmental and health considerations.
