Germany's Pepper One opens certification
centre for Z-Wave devices
The Z-Wave wireless standard is a interoperable wireless
mesh networking technology used to control home devices
such as lights, heating, air-conditioning and home security
systems. To certify Z-Wave integrated products, Pepper One
GmbH has now opened the first certification centre in Europe.
In thorough testing procedures, Pepper One tests all devices
with regard to their correct functioning and interoperability.
Pepper One services include comprehensive test programmes,
assistance in preparing products and documentation, development
services upon customer request and also maintenance contracts
and support.
In order to receive a Z-Wave certification for a new product,
the customer initially carries out a self-certification.
The results of this test are then checked by Sigma Designs
and, upon acceptance, passed on to Pepper One. This is where
the actual certification process begins, with this taking
between two and five days. Then range of tests are carried
out by Pepper One.
Alexander Hische, Managing Director of Pepper One GmbH,
explains: "With the Z-Wave certification programme
we are ensuring the reliable deployment of future-oriented
home control products. Pepper One is characterised by the
rapid and personalised support we offer our customers. Direct
contact between manufacturers and our engineers makes it
possible to react quickly to any problems that occur."
