Recently, the laser photoacoustic spectroscopy-based monitoring and early warning device for dissolved gases in transformer oil, independently developed by Hubei Infotech System Technology Co., Ltd., has successfully obtained the EU CE certification from SGS, a world-renowned authoritative certification body, securing a pivotal pass to the European market. This milestone attests that the device’s safety and quality meet the stringent regulatory requirements of the European Union, and the company’s technical strength as well as its ability to comply with international safety standards has gained recognition from global authorities. It lays a solid foundation for Infotech to explore the European market and advance its global strategic layout.

CE Certification: The Gateway to the European Market

CE certification is a mandatory qualification for product safety and quality in the EU market, renowned for its comprehensive and rigorous standard system, and is widely regarded as the "gateway" for products to enter Europe. As a global leader in testing, inspection and certification services and an official notified body for EU CE certification, SGS is universally recognized as the benchmark for quality and integrity, with its certification results boasting supreme authority and credibility. By virtue of its outstanding performance across the entire process of design, manufacturing and testing, Infotech’s device has met the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC), and smoothly passed the testing, inspection and certification evaluation conducted by SGS. This fully demonstrates the device’s reliable and stable operation in complex electromagnetic environments, as well as its safety for operators and the surrounding environment, highlighting the company’s formidable strength in product R&D, manufacturing and quality control.

Intelligently Safeguarding Core Assets of Power Grids

The photoacoustic spectroscopy-based online monitoring device for transformer oil and gas, which has now obtained the CE certification, is one of the core products embodying the application of Infotech’s independently innovative technologies after years of deep engagement in the field of condition and safety monitoring for power grid equipment. Integrating advanced technologies such as photoacoustic spectroscopy for trace gas detection and intelligent fault diagnosis and analysis, the device enables real-time, online and accurate monitoring of various characteristic fault gases dissolved in transformer oil, including hydrogen, methane and acetylene. Leveraging intelligent algorithms, it analyzes the content and variation trends of these gases, effectively early warning potential hidden dangers inside transformers such as incipient insulation faults and overheating. It provides power users with key decision-making support, driving the shift from traditional scheduled maintenance to modern condition-based maintenance. In doing so, it reduces the operation and maintenance costs of critical power grid equipment and the risks of major accidents, significantly elevating the safety and reliability of power grid operation.

Product Internationalization Empowers the Safety of Global Power Systems

The acquisition of CE certification marks a solid and pivotal step for Infotech towards the European and global markets. The European power grid imposes extremely high requirements on the compliance and quality of grid products, while also featuring a strong demand for intelligent and digitalized equipment condition monitoring. This certification not only affirms Infotech’s technical prowess and product compliance capabilities, but also will greatly enhance the understanding and trust of European power and energy enterprises as well as global customers in the Infotech brand, thereby accelerating the pace of the company’s overseas business expansion.

As an innovative high-tech enterprise focused on the R&D, production and application of cutting-edge technologies in the field of smart grid security, Infotech will continue to deepen technological innovation in smart grids and the application of high-end intelligent products. It is committed to providing safer, smarter and more reliable intelligent monitoring solutions for the condition of power equipment to customers in Europe and across the globe, jointly safeguarding the security of core power grid assets with global partners, empowering the safety of the global power and energy system, and facilitating the intelligent upgrading of global energy infrastructure.
