As the global new energy sector continues its rapid expansion, European compliance requirements for grid‑connected photovoltaic (PV), energy storage, and power equipment are becoming increasingly stringent. Recently, TI Group’s new energy testing laboratory – Dongguan Baneng Testing Technology Co., Ltd. – received official recognition from SZU (Strojírenský zkušební ústav), a leading Czech certification body. The two parties have signed a framework agreement for cooperation in new energy testing.

This partnership marks a significant step forward in TI Group’s ability to provide international compliance and European market access services for new energy products, offering Chinese manufacturers a more efficient and professional one‑stop technical pathway to Europe.

European Credential: Who Is SZU and Why Does This Partnership Matter?

SZU is a well‑established Czech testing and certification body with deep technical expertise and strong credibility within the European conformity assessment system. As a professional institution embedded in the EU market access framework, SZU has long been active in electrical and electronic product certification, industrial equipment and energy product testing, EU regulatory compliance assessment, and CE‑related technical services.

In Europe’s new energy sector – particularly in areas such as PV grid connection, inverters, and grid interface equipment – products must comply with strict EU technical regulations and national grid standards. Entering the European market requires not only high product performance but also testing and certification support from internationally recognized bodies.

Under the new agreement, SZU has formally accredited TI Group’s new energy laboratory as one of its cooperative testing facilities, authorized to participate in conformity assessment procedures for new energy products. This means the lab’s testing capabilities are now recognized by a European authority, and test results generated there can be used in SZU‑led certification and compliance processes. As a result, Chinese new energy companies can complete critical testing domestically, significantly accelerating project timelines and market response times. For exporters, this translates directly into a faster, more streamlined route to European market entry.

One‑Stop Service: From Domestic Testing to European Market Access

Building on this collaboration, TI Group now offers a comprehensive one‑stop technical service covering product R&D, testing, certification, and market access for new energy companies. Key product areas include PV inverters, storage inverters, distributed energy equipment, grid‑connected systems, and intelligent power electronics. Our services target PV manufacturers, energy storage companies, system integrators, power electronics firms, and Chinese new energy brands expanding globally.

Priority markets include the EU as a whole, the Czech Republic and Central/Eastern Europe, as well as major new energy destinations such as Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands.

As the global shift toward new energy accelerates, Europe has become one of the most important overseas markets for Chinese new energy companies. At the same time, European countries are raising their safety and compliance requirements for new energy products. TI Group leverages its international cooperation resources and localized technical service capabilities to help clients improve compliance efficiency, shorten certification cycles, reduce market access risks, and accelerate product entry into Europe.

Deepening Our Commitment: Empowering Chinese New Energy Companies to Go Global

In recent years, TI Group has been steadily strengthening its “global market access” capabilities, expanding its international cooperation networks and technical service systems. The new energy industry is at a pivotal stage of the global energy transition, and testing, certification, and compliance services have become indispensable enablers for companies going global.

This recognition from SZU is a major milestone in our new energy technical capacity building and further enhances our global market access service portfolio for the new energy sector. Looking ahead, TI Group will continue to invest in new energy, energy storage, smart power electronics, global regulatory research, and international certification partnerships – reinforcing our laboratory capabilities and delivering more professional, efficient, and internationally oriented one‑stop global market access services to Chinese enterprises.

Building trust through technology, connecting the world with expertise – TI Group is committed to empowering Chinese new energy companies to succeed on the global stage.
