Associated Research

Associated Research is a manufacturer of electrical safety test equipment, specializing in instruments used to verify that electrical and electronic products meet safety standards before shipment or field deployment. The company produces hipot (high-potential dielectric withstand) testers, ground bond testers, insulation resistance testers, and AC power sources designed for production line testing, incoming inspection, and R&D safety verification in electronics and appliance manufacturing environments.

Associated Research instruments are widely used for compliance testing to international safety standards including IEC 60950, IEC 62368, UL 60950, and IEC 60601 for medical devices. Their test systems support both manual and automated testing configurations, with multi-channel scanner options available for high-throughput production environments. Ground bond testers verify the continuity and impedance of protective earth connections in electrical equipment, ensuring operator safety under fault conditions.
