A
measurement device is like a guide dog: You must be able to rely on it 100%, as
there is no possibility to verify the measurement results without complex
laboratory tests and a tremendous amount of expertise.
We
guarantee for the top quality of our measuring devices – without any “ifs” and
“buts”:
- All meters developed and produced by
Gigahertz are manually aligned and calibrated during the manufacturing
process. It goes without saying that all product features completely
concur with the data sheets. However, in our market environment, this
implicitness is not always given, therefore we make a point here of explicitly
emphasizing the compliance of our devices.
- The laboratory measurement technology
implied for the alignment and calibration of our products is itself
calibrated at regular intervals and traceable back to the national
standard or physical constant.
- The VDE (the German Association for
Electrical, Electronic and Information Technology) monitors our quality
control system with annual inspections, especially with reference to the
security relevant to demand switches.
Benchmark Tests
Buergerwelle e.V.
Within the past years we know of only one institution, the registrated society
"Buergerwelle e.V." (the roof organisation of German action groups and initiatives against "electrosmog"), which has conducted watertight tests of HF
meters with regard to building biology requirements in 2006. Our HF59B was the winner, and tested “excellent”.

Verband Baubiologie e.V.
In the magazine “Wohnung + Gesundheit” no. 110 (03/2004), the Association of Building Biologists “Verband Baubiologie e.V.” published an extensive test of a total of 13 HF meters, with the following valuations: Our HF35C was stated with “optimum price-performance ratio”, and the comments to our HF58B were: “good impression with minor flaws” and “good price-performance ratio”. At that point of time, both devices were in the pilot phase, and our recall campaign for the elimination of the critisized flaws was referred to as “fair”.Magazine “Computerbild”
Based on
extensive measurements run by an EMC testing laboratory (OBL) the renowned magazine "Computerbild" (edition of 12/2006) published a benchmark test including our cheapest and most simple RF-Analyser, the HF32D, which finished as best in test ("satisfactory"/"low priced") . It should be mentioned that there were
only two devices under test, ours and the Spectran HF-2025E Rev.2 from Aaronia, which is no longer on the market. The German
broadcasting service WDR also had several devices tested (by the LGA in In its issue of 06/2008, the computer magazine
“Chip” published the radiation report of 2008 (“Strahlenreport 2008”). This was
no product test as such, but the conclusion after various experiments stated in
an info box concerning measurement possibilities stated: “The Gigahertz Solution devices are the most reliable detectors of LF
and HF fields”. Based on the analysis of competitors’ devices
which have been sent in to us by customers along with some critical questions,
we have in the meantime gained a large pool of knowledge which might be of help
for your decision concerning the adequate product for you. The legal aspect of
making this knowledge public here on this site is currently being clarified. We have
made attempts to find out the concrete users (so to say real human beings!) of
our competitors’ devices by contacting several of their reference enterprises,
but had no luck. Maybe you should give it a try, maybe we just asked the wrong
questions. WDR TV show "Quarks

References
Anyway: We will refrain from publishing long lists of references at this point,
and prefer to enable you to make use of our customer list and choose concrete
users of our devices, who will probably be the best help for you and your
questions due to their own practical experiences with the devices. Should you
now worry only to be forwarded to special fans and enthusiasts, you may
alternatively get in touch with one of the building biology associations shown
on our link portal. Considering the fact that probably the largest part of the
building biologists are customers of ours, you will certainly be able to
contact plentiful independant users of our devices within short. Furthermore,
you will also meet users of competitors’ devices who can then explain why they
prefer to use other devices than those of Gigahertz Solutions.
