EMC Testing and RF testing

Our electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and radio frequency (RF) testing services ensure your device meets global standards, avoids interference, and delivers optimal performance.

In today’s connected world, EMC and RF testing are essential to prevent your devices from interfering with or being disrupted by other technologies. Our comprehensive testing provides accurate results for smooth certification.

Why EMC and RF Testing is Critical for Your Product?

Every electronic device emits electromagnetic fields, which can interfere with nearby devices or be affected by others if not properly designed. Consider common household items like your TV, mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers, and microwave oven – without EMC measures, these could disrupt each other, causing malfunction and performance issues. 

For manufacturers, ensuring compliance with EMC regulations is essential. In the European Union, the EMC Directive mandates that products meet strict standards for emissions (ensuring they don’t interfere with other devices) and immunity (ensuring they function correctly despite interference). In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) focuses primarily on emissions. 

Additionally, RF testing is essential to verify that your product’s radio transmitter and receiver operate correctly. The depth of testing depends on your product’s design and intended functionality. 

Our Comprehensive EMC and RF Testing Services 

We offer a full suite of accredited testing services, including: 

Emission Testing

  • Conducted Emissions: Measures unwanted signals transmitted through cables. 
  • Radiated Emissions: Evaluates the electromagnetic radiation emitted from a device into the surrounding environment. 

Immunity Testing

  • Radiated RF Field Immunity: Ensures the device operates without disruption from external radio-frequency fields. 
  • Radio Frequency Common Mode Immunity: Tests how well the device handles disturbances from radio-frequency signals through common mode (cables). 
  • Burst, Surge, Electrical Fast Transients, Voltage Dips and Interruptions: Simulates power disturbances and checks device resilience. 
  • Power and Pulsed Magnetic Fields: Evaluates how electromagnetic fields affect the device. 
  • Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): Verifies device immunity to static electricity discharges. 

RF Testing

  • Radiated Spurious Emission Testing: Tests the unwanted radiation emitted from radio transmission equipment (e.g., GSM, WCDMA, LTE, Bluetooth, WLAN). 
  • Pre-Compliance EMC and RF Testing: Conducting preliminary tests during the R&D phase to avoid issues later in the certification process. 

We provide pre-compliance EMC testing for consumer, medical, and industrial products, even for those outside of our current accreditation scope. Contact us for further details, and we will tailor a proposal to help verify your product’s compliance. 

Testing Standards We Follow 

Our testing adheres to several industry-recognized standards and regulatory frameworks to ensure your products meet global compliance requirements: 

  • RED Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU) 
  • EMC Directive 2014/30/EU 
  • 3GPP TS 38.113 Release 16, 15, 14 (Base Station EMC) 
  • EN 55011 (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical Equipment) 
  • EN 61000 Series (Electromagnetic Compatibility Standards) 
  • FCC CFR 47 Part 15B and 15C (Radio Frequency Devices) 
  • IEC 60601-1-2 (Medical Electrical Equipment) 

We also offer custom measurements based on your specific requirements. These are just examples of the many standards we can help you meet.

Frequently Asked Questions about EMC and RF Testing

  • What is the difference between emission testing and immunity testing?

    Emission testing measures the electromagnetic signals that a device emits into the environment, ensuring it doesn’t interfere with other devices. Immunity testing evaluates how well a device can withstand electromagnetic interference from external sources. 

  • How do I know if my product needs RF testing?

    If your product uses wireless communication (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular), RF testing is essential to ensure it operates as intended and meets regulatory standards for radio equipment. 

  • What is pre-compliance testing, and why is it important?

    Pre-compliance testing is conducted during the product development phase to identify potential issues before full compliance testing. This can save time and costs by addressing any problems early in the process. 

  • How long does EMC and RF testing take?

    The testing duration depends on the complexity of the product and the tests required. Once we have all the necessary information, we’ll provide an estimate and keep you updated throughout the process to ensure timely results for certification.
