How We Help Small Teams Get to Compliance Without a Full Lab

If you're building hardware at a startup or small company, getting through EMC, ESD, or safety compliance testing can feel impossible—especially without an in-house lab. But the truth is, many teams get certified without a chamber, RF cage, or $10K test bench. Here’s how.

How to Prevent Insulation Failures in High-Voltage PCB Designs

PCB insulation breakdown is one of the most dangerous and costly failure modes in high-voltage hardware. These issues often pass early tests, only to cause catastrophic field failures—from arcing and shutdowns to burned boards and warranty returns. Whether it manifests as a blown fuse, carbonized board, intermittent arcing, or a total product shutdown, insulation breakdown tells you one thing: the board wasn’t designed to handle the real-world voltages and stresses it encountered.

Waterproofing is a Lie: Real-World IP67/IP68 Enclosure Design That Works

When most engineers think about waterproofing, they think about a quick solution like adding a thick rubber gasket or slapping a coating over the exposed edges. However, when it comes to IP67 or IP68 enclosures, "waterproofing" is rarely a simple or one-size-fits-all solution. These ratings require a deep understanding of material properties, enclosure design, and manufacturing practices to actually ensure protection against water ingress—and many products on the market fail to meet their advertised IP standards in real-world conditions.

The Hidden Cost of Not Designing for Compliance in Product Development

If you’ve ever had a hardware product delayed at certification, recalled from the field, or stuck between engineering and compliance teams, you know this hard truth: designing for compliance late in the process is painful—and extremely costly.
