Exoskeleton Certification: Trust Built on CSA Group Testing

You can picture the route before you buy the product: the steady climb that usually sets your pace, the camera bag that grows heavier by the hour, or the long walk you still want to finish with enough energy for the way back.

When a powered product wraps around your waist and moves with every step, performance is only part of the decision. You also want to know how the complete system has been tested.

That is why exoskeleton certification matters for a powered wearable. For H Pro and H Ultra, CSA Group evaluated the battery, sensors, controller, motors, wireless connection, and materials as one consumer product. The program covered electrical safety, close-to-body electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure, wireless and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), hazardous materials, and requirements across five markets.

Why CSA Group's Independent Testing Matters

CSA Group has spent more than a century developing standards and testing, inspecting, and certifying products. Its global laboratories support access to more than 140 markets.

OSHA recognizes CSA Group as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory, while the SCC, ANSI, and IAS accredit it for specific certification, testing, and inspection roles. For H Pro and H Ultra, that independent expertise brings established consumer-electronics testing discipline to a powered hip exoskeleton.

H Pro and H Ultra combine battery power, motion sensing, motor control, Bluetooth connectivity, and body-contact materials in one wearable system. Ascentiz put the complete system through a coordinated CSA Group program rooted in established consumer-electronics requirements.

That means the H Series was evaluated across the parts you power on, wear for hours, connect to your phone, and take outdoors. The program covered defined electrical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical hazards; close-to-body EMF exposure; wireless and EMC behavior; and regulated materials.

Electrical Safety Across the Whole System

At the start of a walk, you secure the belt and thigh straps, power on, and begin moving. An inertial measurement unit reads that movement. The control box coordinates the response, and two actuators add assistance at the hips as you walk.

The part you want on a climb is the assistance. The product delivering it is a complete chain: battery, sensors, controller, motors, wiring, radio, belt, and straps. Every part comes with you from the first step onward.

EN IEC 62368-1 was applied to the full specified scope, with no exclusions or derogations. The assessment covers four practical areas: protection against electric shock, fire, thermal burns, and mechanical injury.

The assessment covered the complete H Series system, including its insulation, materials, operating temperatures, and structure. A separate EN 62479 assessment confirmed that the device’s emissions remain within the standard’s limits when worn close to the body.

Material Compliance for the Parts You Wear

The belt, straps, electronics, and modules stay close to your body for hours at a time. You may not see or feel regulated substances on the first day, so material compliance matters long after the first walk.

The Ascentiz program covers EU RoHS requirements for ten hazardous substances in electronics, California Proposition 65 for surface-contact parts, and REACH SVHC and Annex XVII requirements for regulated substances and restrictions.

These requirements cover both the electronics inside the H Series and the surfaces you handle and wear. They bring a long-term view to the parts that stay with you across many routes.

Wireless & EMC Compliance: What FCC Class B and CE RED Mean for You

H Pro and H Ultra use Bluetooth LE 5.0 to connect with your phone, so wireless and EMC performance are part of the everyday product experience.

In the United States, the H Series met FCC Class B limits, the stricter emissions limits used for digital devices in residential environments. That makes Class B the relevant benchmark for a personal product used around homes and offices.

In Europe, CE RED covers health and safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and effective use of radio spectrum. The H Series completed the full CE RED electromagnetic-compatibility and radio test suites. It also received an EU-Type Examination Certificate from an EU Notified Body. A separate EN 62479 assessment found the device’s emissions within the standard’s limits for close-to-body use.

In Canada, the H Series completed ISED radio and EMC testing. Australia added ACMA RCM registration, while Japan added MIC radio-frequency certification. Together, these results extend the wireless evidence across all five markets in the program.

What the Evidence Covers

Here is what the testing covers in practical terms.

To the best of our public research, Ascentiz is the first consumer-grade modular exoskeleton to complete the coordinated combination summarized above. It brings several layers of recognized third-party evidence to the complete wearable system.

Built for the Route. Tested by CSA Group

For H Pro and H Ultra, the CSA Group program brings the electrical, wireless, EMC, close-to-body EMF, and material evidence into one view of the complete wearable system. It gives consumers a clearer way to understand how the parts they power on, wear, connect, and take outdoors were evaluated.
