"A third-party test is an independent proof that we at Teamtronic deliver a 100 per cent reliable, quality-assured and efficient product in connection with Mary Elizabeths Hospital. That's why we have all our lighting arm tours third-party tested at Bolls," says Poul Nellemose, Technical Manager at Teamtronic.

Since 2001, Bolls Advice & Test Centre has offered professional testing and engineering assistance for CE marking and international type approval. They perform a wide range of tests and trials within EMC, electrical safety, temperature, moisture, vibration, light, IP and flammability.

"We have a broad knowledge of standards and directives in the field of electronic and electrical products - in other words, the requirements for products sold on the Danish market," says Marika V. Hermansen, Engineer at Bolls.

In connection with Mary Elizabeth's Hospital, Bolls conducts thorough tests of the luminaires' lumen, CRI, kelvin, spectral light distribution, light distribution and UGR value. In addition, a flicker test is carried out to ensure that the luminaires meet the requirements of PSTIm<1 and SWM<0.4.

Bolls then prepares test reports that document the results of the tests performed according to the procedures and requirements of the test paradigms.

"At Bolls, we have a set procedure for how and when we calibrate all our measuring equipment. This way we ensure that our equipment is always up to date. We are not accredited, but are responsible for checking and calibrating our equipment ourselves," says Marika V. Hermansen, Engineer at Bolls

Timetable

Approximately 4 years have been set aside for the actual construction, and the goal is for the hospital to be operational in 2026, when staff will welcome the first patients and relatives.

The construction site has been set up and the concrete elements and facade have been installed. During the final stages of construction, most of the work will take place indoors - including technical installations and lighting.

Mary Elizabeths Hospital is a partnership between the Capital Region of Denmark, Rigshospitalet and Ole Kirk's Foundation
