Signal Transformer Qualifies for CSA's Supervised Manufacturer Testing Certification (SMTC)
Inwood, NY, June 6, 2007…Signal Transformer, a subsidiary of Bel Fuse Inc. (NASDAQ: BELFA & BELFB), announced that the latest audit conducted by Canadian Standards Association (CSA) for the Supervised Manufacturer Testing Certification (SMTC) found Signal Transformer to be in full compliance with their new standard for testing laboratories (IEC/ISO 17025). The SMTC, formerly known as the Shared Certification Program, enables Signal to certify that its products meet the UL/CSA 5085 standard, therefore simplifying and expediting the transformer certification process for customers to help speed products to market. Moreover, as Signal is qualified to test and confirm compliance with this standard, the Company designs all their custom products from the ground up to meet and exceed the most stringent safety agency specifications.“Safety has been Signal’s first priority since it’s founding,” said
Signal is a world leader in the design and manufacture of standard and custom magnetic products including laminated and toroidal power transformers from 1VA to 45KVA, high frequency flyback transformers, and inductors for printed circuit configurations. Notably, their comprehensive lines of RoHS-compliant PC and chassis mount products are suitable for employment in medical devices and rugged commercial applications such as HVAC, elevators and other building management systems. Besides UL and CSA, Signal’s products meet VDE, IEC, and EN standards. The company maintains an extensive inventory of 1.0 VA to 10 KVA designs, and offers custom designs up to 45 KVA.
