Our Methods:
- MTBF
- Service life calculation
- Efficiency measurement
- Usability
- Infrared thermography
- Failure analysis
- Compliance with customer specifications
We identify the weak points of your product to minimize failures and defects and extend its service life. We help you improve your product to increase customer satisfaction and sustainably strengthen your reputation. This initial investment has a long-term positive effect on your return on investment.
Analysis of Service Life and Reliability:
We calculate the service life and reliability of power electronics in a practical manner, enabling you to determine the operating lifetime of your device (e.g., inverters).
MTBF Calculations:
The reliability of electronic circuits is becoming increasingly important for manufacturing companies—whether required by legislation within the framework of regulations or set internally by quality assurance.
Think, for example, of the risks associated with the failure of safety circuits in electrical systems, as well as the reputational benefits of durable, long-lasting products.
One important reliability indicator is MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure).
Kiwa can confirm and document the reliability of your electronic assemblies and products using MTBF calculations.
Proven procedures according to DIN EN 61709 are applied.
Reference failure rates can be taken from the SIEMENS standards series SN29500.

Laboratory Services for Medical Devices
Kiwa offers to Organizations the opportunity to carry out electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility and any functional test in its laboratories, with respect to the harmonized Standards.
Battery testing according to UN 38.3
Batteries containing lithium must be tested in accordance with UN 38.3 to ensure safe transport.
QM Certification according to ISO 13485 for medical devices
ISO 13485 Medical Device Certification with Kiwa: Ensuring quality, building trust, and complying with regulations in the medical device sector.
Infrared Thermography
Thermography is an imaging method that makes infrared radiation (heat radiation) visible. This allows thermal irregularities in your photovoltaic system and other equipment to be detected and documented during operation—cost-effectively, quickly, precisely, and without contact.
Cybersecurity
How organizations can become cyber resilient
Electric Car Charging Infrastructure
Thanks to our extensive accreditations in the field of electromobility, Kiwa is your partner for testing your equipment and thus an important partner for proving compliance with standards.
Functional Safety Testing for Safety Critical Systems
Functional Safety ensures that electrical, electronic and programmable systems operate safely even when faults occur. Whether used in industrial automation, transportation, energy, medical equipment or other high-risk environments, these systems must be designed and validated to avoid failures that could cause accidents, production stoppages or damage to people, assets and the environment. Kiwa supports companies throughout the entire Functional Safety lifecycle, from design and risk assessment to testing, according to the main international standards. Our experts work with your engineering and development teams to ensure compliance, reliability and readiness for market access.
