While the market for wearables such as smartwatches and activity trackers is booming the global information and communications technology (ICT) enterprise HUAWEI opted for voluntary certification by TÜV SÜD and WT to stand out from the competition and demonstrate the high quality of the HUAWEI WATCH 2.
The test program of TÜV SÜD Product Service covers essential safety requirements, mechanical and chemical aspects including safety for long-term skin contact, and factory inspection based on CIG 023. HUAWEI WATCH 2 met all the criteria in the voluntary certification standard and was awarded the Wearables certification mark of TÜV SÜD.
The TÜV SÜD experts test HUAWEI WATCH 2 for an array of features, including resistance to shock, scratches, and water. To ensure that production of the certified products conforms to the certification standard, TÜV SÜD Product Service further carries out regular surveillance and factory inspections. The certification standard also covers testing for hazardous materials and for biocompatibility.
