    Ops update - Global Trade needs local certification

    We love working with partners and customers around the world. Part of successful partnerships with international markets is making sure we comply with local, and well as international, product standards.

    Working with valued customers in India, for example, we have a specific set of certification requirements to fulfil before our products can be used. This involves submitting samples of each product for testing, where they are evaluated against the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) IS 13252(Part 1):2010/ IEC 60950-1 : standard.

    To date, our ThunderSync3-16 and SuperSync15 have been tested against IS 13252(Part 1):2010/ IEC 60950-1 and they have their own registration numbers displayed on their product rating label. Evaluation against this standard ensures that products are designed with the underlying principles of safety in mind - which means that we not only consider the normal operating conditions of our products but also likely fault conditions, consequential faults, foreseeable misuse and external influences such as temperature, altitude, pollution, moisture, over-voltages on the power supply – to name a few.
    So where possible we aim to eliminate, reduce or guard against any electrical or fire hazard.

    Without registration against IS 13252, we would not be able to sell our ThunderSync3-16 and Supersync15 products in India and they would be destroyed when they are received at Customs.

    We take the quality, safety and usability of our products extremely seriously. Even without such rigorous certification in international markets we would always ensure robust testing, but we hope our customers around the world find our focus on quality standards reassuring.

    We will always work collaboratively with our customers to meet all the necessary requirements to help them best serve their domestic markets with the best quality products. Making sure we are fully aware of all the certification and quality control requirements in any given country help ensure a smooth and successful trading partnership, avoiding unnecessary delay or waste at any part of the procurement process.

    Q&A

    • Why can't SQA teams rely on simulators alone?

      Simulators cannot reproduce real-world hardware behaviours, OEM-specific differences, biometric flows, camera and performance constraints, or network variability. Final validation of any software release must run on physical devices to confirm it behaves correctly across the full range of devices your users own.

    • What causes device dropouts during automated testing?

      Device dropouts during automated testing are most commonly caused by USB infrastructure that cannot sustain the combined data and power demands of large device fleets under heavy workloads. Consumer-grade USB 2 and USB 3 hubs lack the bandwidth, stability, and power delivery capability required for enterprise-scale SQA environments. Purpose-built solutions with Thunderbolt architecture and intelligent Power Delivery eliminate this problem.

    • How does AI development affect real-device testing requirements?

      AI-assisted development increases the speed and frequency of software releases. Every release still requires validation on real hardware before deployment, which means the volume of real-device testing increases in direct proportion to the pace of AI-driven development. Teams that do not scale their real-device testing infrastructure risk becoming the bottleneck in an otherwise accelerated development pipeline.

    • What is intelligent Power Delivery in USB hub testing solutions?

      Intelligent Power Delivery (PD) allows a USB hub to consistently allocate the right level of charging power to each connected device based on its requirements and battery state. In SQA environments, this prevents devices from losing charge during long automated test runs, reduces unnecessary charging that degrades battery health over time, and ensures all tests complete successfully even under heavy parallel workloads.

    • How do Cambrionix hubs integrate with automated testing workflows?

      The Cambrionix Connect software provides an API and CLI for programmatic control of individual ports and devices. Teams can remotely manage device connectivity, reboot devices, schedule charging sessions, and monitor real-time device status without physical access to the lab. These capabilities can be combined with third-party tools such as Apple Configurator and other test automation frameworks, allowing teams to incorporate Cambrionix hubs into broader automated workflows and device management pipelines.
