SAR test in production

Speaker: René Viguier, Head of Quality, Orange
 
René Viguier exposed a worldwide feedback on the multiple Test Laboratories and Suppliers audits after facing a SAR market recall in the French market.

Case Study: Systematic SAR testing in Production

Speaker: Xavier BRO, Chief Marketing Officer - ART-Fi
Speaker: Bruno Pain, Développeur électronique - REMADE
Speaker: Nigel Wakeford, ingénieur électronique R&D

Xavier BRO presented with Bruno Pain and Nigel Wakeford the systematic test in production solution deployed at Remade facilities (Normandy, France). The case study has shown that each mobile phone is tested straight from the production-line and the benefits for the customers and REMADE to invets into quality in production.

Join us for an exclusive in-depth review of SAR^* assessment methodology and requirements for regulatory acceptance.

The seminar'scope will include testing approaches of various SAR systems, standards assessment protocols and preparation for certification including requirements for equipment with demands for SAR compliance. The specific focus will be on the “Best Practise” for compliance and what you can do to ensure smooth route to certification.
