Get specialised assistance with testing of hearing aids and audiological equipment, approval of hearing clinics, and research and training in technical audiology.

Are you manufacturing hearing aids or audiological equipment, or operating a hearing clinic? Ensuring compliance with relevant regulatory requirements and standards is essential.

We provide comprehensive testing, approvals and certifications to ensure your products and clinic meet applicable standards. Whether you need product certification or approval of a hearing clinic, we can help you navigate complex requirements, allowing you to focus on delivering the best service to your customers.

Testing hearing aids and audiological equipment and approving over 300 Danish hearing aid vendors require highly specialised knowledge. This is why our competences are in demand from, among others, the public sector, the hearing healthcare industry, manufacturers and universities.

Hearing aids – testing and documentation

When manufacturing hearing aids, it is crucial to ensure compliance with current national and international standards for acoustic performance, EMC (electromagnetic compatibility), product safety and reliability.

With our comprehensive testing systems, we provide the necessary documentation for market introduction. Our specialised test laboratory handles acoustic and electromagnetic testing of hearing aids.

To stay at the forefront of hearing aid testing, we are members of the IEC/TC29/WG13 working group on standardisation and the Danish Standards Committee S-529 on Electroacoustics. We also participate in industry-led collaboration groups.

Challenges faced by hearing aid manufacturers:

  • Ensuring product compliance with national and international standards
  • Meeting electroacoustic and EMC requirements
  • CE marking and other regulatory approvals.

How we can help:

  • Acoustic testing according to national and international standards
  • EMC testing according to national and international standards
  • Certification through the CB Scheme
  • Sound quality testing and audiological measurements.

Our tests ensure that your hearing aids comply with the required standards, giving you peace of mind during product launch.

Hearing clinics in Denmark – approval

As a hearing clinic owner, it is crucial to comply with regulations from the Danish Ministry of the Interior and Health for approval as a private provider of hearing aid services. This approval allows you to dispense hearing aids with public subsidies to your patients. 

FORCE Technology's Technical Audiology Laboratory is designated to approve private providers of hearing aid services in Denmark. 

Challenges faced by hearing clinics: 

  • Complying with national regulations and legal requirements 
  • Gaining the ability to dispense hearing aids with public subsidies in Denmark.

Solutions we provide:

  • Testing of audiometers according to international standards 
  • Measurement of background noise in audiometric rooms
  • Approval of private providers of hearing aid services.

With our approval, your hearing clinic can dispense hearing aids with public subsidies to your customers.

Audiological equipment – testing and measurement

As a manufacturer of audiological equipment, it is essential to ensure that your equipment complies with national and international standards as well as industry-specific specifications to guarantee accurate and precise diagnoses.

We offer testing in accordance with national and international standards and measurements of electroacoustic performance, EMC (electromagnetic compatibility), product safety and reliability.

Challenges faced by manufacturers of audiological equipment:

  • Ensuring product compliance with national and international standards
  • Documentation for audiometers, e.g., according to IEC 60645-1
  • Meeting electroacoustic and EMC requirements
  • CE marking and other regulatory approvals.

How we can help: 

  • Electroacoustic testing according to national and international standards 
  • EMC testing according to national and international standards
  • Product safety testing according to international standards 
  • Product reliability testing according to international standards
  • Certification of medical devices through the CB Scheme.

We provide testing reports for, e.g., audiometer types during market launch but do not offer ongoing calibration services. For periodic calibration of your audiometer, please contact your audiometer supplier. 

Technical audiology – research and training

FORCE Technology conducts research and provides training in technical audiology for public and private hearing healthcare providers, manufacturers of audiological equipment and universities.

If you need to investigate a technical audiological or psychoacoustic issue, our highly specialised staff is ready to assist. We also offer regular courses and training on audiological topics.

Challenges in technical audiology:

  • Investigating a technical audiological problem
  • Lack of knowledge about a technical audiological topic.

How we can help:

  • Studies and consultancy on technical audiological issues
  • Psychoacoustic investigations and experiments in the audiological field
  • Training and courses in technical audiology. 

Our extensive knowledge of technical audiology, acoustics and psychophysics enables us to assist with research, consultancy and training. 

A clear separation between product development and accredited testing ensures that accredited test reports are issued impartially. We achieve impartiality by ensuring our staff have not provided consultancy services to customers ordering accredited testing services within the past two years.
