About
Obering. Berg & Lukowiak GmbH, trading as OBL, is a private and independent testing and certification institute at Huellhorst in eastern North Rhine-Westphalia, and a notified body under the EMC Directive. It holds DAkkS accreditation to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 under D-PL-12032-01-00 with a Flex A flexible scope, which allows it to apply different editions of a test procedure without prior notification, across five accredited fields: electromagnetic compatibility, telecommunications, electrical equipment safety, environmental simulation and energy efficiency. The accredited EMC scope is broad in the product dimension rather than the military one - basic immunity and emission standards, the EN 61000-6 generic series for residential, commercial and industrial environments, and product-family standards for railway equipment, alarm and security systems, luminaires, household appliances and IT equipment, plus radio equipment EMC under RED Article 3.1(b) and automotive applications. Telecommunications accreditation covers broadcast and digital terrestrial television receivers to ETSI EN 303 345-1 and EN 303 340. What makes OBL distinctive is how far its testing extends past compliance into product quality assessment: the institute also evaluates ergonomics and usability, acoustic noise and audio performance, video and photographic image quality, energy efficiency, cyber security, and RoHS and chemical composition, and carries out factory inspections and production monitoring. Specialisations are consumer electronics and multimedia, household appliances, lighting, IT equipment and consumer goods for retail and own-brand programmes.
