TUV Product Service will demonstrate its extensive capability to meet the testing requirement of the rail industry at Railtex 2002.
The company is "doing things differently" in terms of hi-fi technology and design concept.
SJ Audio believes the global market in quality hi-fi systems to be driven from the UK.
It is therefore targeting the home market first, with a no-compromise package combining advanced electronics, which has its roots in sophisticated control circuitry and is optimised to today's recording media, robust construction for the reliability its customers are paying for, and striking design.
"We are aware that, technically, some hi-fi producers are less than squeaky clean when it comes to CE marking", comments sales director Jim Cooper.
"We decided to go for 'clean-sheet' design, building in compliance from the start.
"We hold TUV Product Service in high regard, and consider the company to be a first class provider of testing and certification services." TUV PS has carried out EMC and safety testing for CE marking, and is also SJ Audio's choice of auditor for its quality management system, currently being implemented.
"It will be easier to deal with a single provider, particularly when it comes to expanding into export markets.
And when you're paying good money for specialist expertise, you go to the best." TUV Product Service is a world leader in product testing and quality and environmental management system certification, serving a wide range of suppliers to the consumer sector including entertainment, white goods, toy, telecoms and IT manufacturers.
