Robotic lawn mowers combine cutting mechanisms, drive systems, boundary detection and automatic charging to maintain lawns autonomously outdoors. Product assessment considers blade contact, thrown objects, operation on slopes, rain exposure, battery safety and wireless communication.
Key checks cover blade stopping when lifted or tilted, guards and accessibility, unintended starting, collision response and stability on slopes. Boundary-wire, vision and satellite navigation configurations are assessed separately for responses to boundary loss and positioning faults.
GTG Group provides support from technical document review and test plan confirmation through sample validation, report delivery and certification applications. Testing of the complete product, battery, wireless modules and power supplies is coordinated according to the target market and product configuration, helping manufacturers identify design issues, verify corrections and prepare technical documentation.

Complete testing of the product, battery and wireless module against target market standards
| Test Category | Assessment Basis & Scope |
|---|---|
| Product Safety | For battery-powered robotic rotary lawn mowers and their peripherals, IEC 60335-2-107 may be referenced within its scope, together with general safety requirements for the complete product and charging station. |
| Electromagnetic Compatibility | Emissions and immunity tests are arranged according to the product category and operating environment, covering typical operating modes. |
| Radio Frequency | Test items are confirmed according to the target market, frequency bands, antennas and transmission modes. Existing module reports are reviewed for conditions of integration into the complete product. |
| Battery & Charging | Battery safety and transport tests are confirmed according to battery type, use and transport method. Charging protection in the complete product is also verified. |
| Performance & Environment | Test conditions and acceptance criteria address blade guarding and stopping, lift and tilt response, thrown-object protection, boundary detection, slope stability, outdoor water protection and weather resistance. |
