TotaLite wins CE, UKCA, FCC and IC certification for deformation monitoring system

TotaLite has secured independent radio and safety certifications for its camera-based deformation monitoring system, clearing the product for deployment in Europe, the UK, the US and Canada. The third-party validation gives customers and regulators stronger compliance assurance than manufacturer self-declarations.

Why it matters: - TotaLite’s new certifications remove regulatory barriers for deploying its monitoring system across four major markets. - The independent testing provides stronger compliance assurance than the self-declaration model commonly used in the industry. - The result matters for owners of tunnels, bridges, embankments, buildings and industrial assets that need continuous deformation monitoring.

What happened: - TotaLite announced that its camera has been independently certified for CE, UKCA, FCC and Industry Canada compliance. - The certifications cover Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada. - The company made the announcement on October 12, 2026. - TotaLite is a spin-off from Fugro.

The details: - TotaLite provides continuous, sub-millimetre structural deformation monitoring through a camera and cloud platform. - The system delivers automated displacement monitoring at millimeter accuracy. - The camera connects independently through integrated cellular and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth links. - Because of those wireless connections, the radio components had to meet the full scope of testing behind the new certifications. - All four certifications came after independent type-examination and equipment testing by Kiwa. - Kiwa acted as an EU Notified Body, UK Approved Body, FCC-recognized Telecommunication Certification Body and ISED-recognized certification body for Canada. - The certifications include CE under the Radio Equipment Directive, UKCA, FCC and IC compliance. - The company says the system delivers real-time, sub-millimetre displacement data at a fraction of the cost of traditional manual monitoring methods. - TotaLite says typical customer setup time is around one hour. - TotaLite says operational reductions can reach up to 70% and monitoring project cost reductions can reach up to 65% versus manual site visits. - Learn more about TotaLite.

Between the lines: - Third-party certification can make procurement easier for infrastructure operators that need documented compliance before rollout. - The move also signals that wireless monitoring hardware is facing the same regulatory scrutiny as other connected industrial devices. - The emphasis on accredited testing suggests TotaLite is positioning itself against competitors that rely only on internal declarations.

What's next: - TotaLite can now pursue broader commercial deployment without the same certification hurdles in the EU, UK, US and Canada. - The company is likely to use the new compliance status to support adoption in infrastructure monitoring projects. - Further market expansion will depend on customer acceptance, project demand and local regulatory requirements.
