Etteplan and Kempower sign a four-year cooperation agreement on product testing - Etteplan makes further investments in its test laboratory in Jyväskylä, Finland

Technology service company Etteplan and Kempower, a developer of charging solutions for electric vehicles, have signed a four-year cooperation agreement under which Kempower will test its products at Etteplan's test laboratory in Jyväskylä, Finland. Kempower will carry out testing for its DC fast chargers in the laboratory in Jyväskylä.

To support the collaboration, Etteplan continues to invest in its test laboratory located in Aholaita area in Jyväskylä, Finland which was opened in autumn 2024. The new round of investment will further increase the laboratory's capacity and strengthen its position as one of the most significant and versatile testing environments in Finland. The laboratory offers customers comprehensive capabilities for testing electrical and electronic products under demanding conditions.

"This kind of cooperation agreement is a great vote of confidence in the expertise and quality of our Jyväskylä test laboratory. With this new investment, our testing capabilities will be further enhanced, making us an exceptionally capable testing site for power electronics," says Timo Kallinen, Director, Product Verification at Etteplan.

Etteplan's test laboratory enables customer companies to conduct a wide range of physical tests on their devices and products. The laboratory offers a broad portfolio of testing services, including electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and radio frequency (RF) testing, as well as various antenna, environmental, and product safety tests. The facility also houses one of Northern Europe's largest vibration testers, which can be used to test the vibration resistance of products during transport or throughout their lifecycle, and a five-meter EMC chamber that allows for the testing of large industrial equipment.

One of the laboratory's unique features is its ability to provide a three-phase power supply of up to 630 amperes for the devices under test. This enables the testing of very high-power devices - a capability that only a few test laboratories in Finland can offer.

"Testing is a critical part of our product development, and Etteplan's test laboratory provides us with the flexibility and versatility to verify the compliance of our products. This strongly supports our product development and growth strategy," says Antti Kärkkäinen, Vice President, Product Development at Kempower.
