"The certification of smart meters is essential to ensure their proper operation and the safety of users"
The Government of Chile validates this collaboration
TECNALIA has established a collaboration agreement with the Chilean company, UNDERFIRE, specialised in the certification of electricity meters. The Chilean Government's Superintendency of Electricity and Fuels has validated this service agreement, which aims to comply with the requirements of the National Energy Commission.
The agreement between TECNALIA and UNDERFIRE focuses on the certification of electricity meters to ensure their proper operation and the safetyof users. In addition, TECNALIA has the capacity to offer a wide range of electrical testing services within its laboratories.
TECNALIA offers a wide range of electrical testing services
Testing electrical meters in a laboratory like that of TECNALIA is essential in order to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of the readings.
- Firstly, the tests enable the accuracy of electricity meters to be verified, i.e. the comparison of the results obtained by the meter with high-precision measurement standards, in order to adjust them and ensure that the readings are reliable. In addition, the tests also enable the accuracy of electricity meters to be verified in specific situations, such as the measurement of high current loads or very low voltages, which helps to ensure that the meters are suitable for the task for which they are used.
- Secondly, laboratory tests are also used in research and development for new types of electricity meters, improving accuracy, reliability and including new functionalities to these devices, and developing more advanced technologies. This improves the quality of electrical readings and fostersincreased energy efficiency and safety in the application of electrical devices.
In short, laboratory testing of electrical meters is a crucial part of the manufacturing and development process of electrical equipment. They enable the quality and accuracy of electrical measurements to be increased, which has a direct impact on the safety and efficiency of the application of electrical energy.
This collaboration between TECNALIA and UNDERFIRE marks a before and after in Chile's electrical industry
To reach this agreement and to have it validated by the Chilean government's Superintendency of Electricity and Fuels is a significant milestone in the country's electricity industry. Certification of smart meters and other high precision and high quality electrical products is essential to ensure their proper operation and the safety of users. This collaboration increases confidence in the industry and in electrical technology in general. Customers looking for accurate and reliable electrical test results can rely on the combined experience and expertise of both companies.
