Regulatory Knowledge
We are the first Notified Body in Europe for Regulation 2019/945
ALTER TECHNOLOGY has obtained ENAC accreditation to provide conformity according to the European rules for drones intended to be operated in the open category and remote identification add-ons.
The Regulatory Framework knowledge is the key for the development of successful testing procedures. Therefore, ALTER TECHNOLOGY, as an accredited laboratory, has invested several hours participating in different Working groups and platforms to be aware of the latest news regarding normative and mandatory requirements for drone systems.
ALTER TECHNOLOGY has obtained ENAC accreditation to provide conformity according to the European rules for drones intended to be operated in the open category and remote identification add-ons. The company has been already recommended to different manufacturers to start a certification process with us; manufacturers from different parts of the world: France, Switzerland, China or the even USA.
In fact, we have already started certification processes with some of them. In the words of these manufacturers, this opportunity supposes a big advantage facing the competitiveness of the future market. Providing a certified product with a CE Marking and Class Label affixed will give confidence to their potential customers.
Finally, it is also important to remark that ALTER’s drone experts participate in different Standardization and Normalization Working groups (WGs) and Associations and Technological Platforms. This participation and contribution inside different WGs are essential for the continuous updates of our procedures following the last news regarding regulation.
