Protect customers’ software and your intellectual property International companies, official bodies, municipal councils, non-profit organizations and cultural institutions all have to safeguard the software that maintains their competitive edge. Should a problem occur, they need to prevent their software from losing value and causing major disruption to their business operations. To do this, they have to be able to access their software source code. Which is where software escrow comes into play.
Software escrow is the guarantee of continuity in all key business processes. It is also the assurance you need to protect your own intellectual property. The central feature of software escrow is the deposit of a source code with an impartial third party.
PSC software escrow service - how it works
PSC offers a professional and cost-effective solution that involves the secure storage and validation of supplier's software and source code; providing the end user with the confidence and protection that allows them stability of business should the supplier's business fail.
Our experts will fully protect your key technology assets with our comprehensive range of software escrow, escrow consulting and escrow verification solutions.

 Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Testing
Protect consumers from exposure to your products
SAR limits are there to protect all of us from wireless devices that exceed the transmit Radio Frequency (RF) threshold. SAR stands for Specific Absorption Rate. It’s a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by your body when you are exposed to an RF electromagnetic field. In some countries, the SAR test result figure has to be displayed at the point of sale. To have a presence in these markets, your products must meet strict SAR regulations.
This is where PSC can help. We have the specialist expertise you need to get all your products SAR tested and on to the market. Our UKAS-accredited laboratory has a depth and range of knowledge and experience gained through many years of providing SAR test services. Manufacturers, network operators and other organizations have all worked with us.

Achieve a real competitive edge in a rapidly growing industry.
The global wearable's market is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 35% over the next five years, reaching 148 million units shipped annually in 2019, up from 33 million units shipped in 2014*. To capitalize on this rapid growth, wearable device manufacturers need to address a wide range of factors that affect the quality, performance and safety of their products. Due to size and form factor limitations, the battery life of wearable devices depends not on increasing battery size but rather on the optimization of function and operating use time as well as reduced battery rigidity. Wireless connection technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and ZigBee will affect battery power consumption and the rate of data transfer to other devices and the cloud.
To ensure user safety, manufacturers also have to identify and eliminate hazardous chemicals in skin contact wearable's as well as lithium hazards in batteries. Other important concerns include biocompatibility, RF exposure levels, regulatory requirements for electrical safety, energy efficiency, and data security and privacy of apps.
