TYPICAL TESTING CONSISTS OF;

  • Emissions - Evaluation of conducted and radiated emissions, thus indicating compliance or failure in accordance with the relevant standards.
  • Immunity - A selection of tests to assess the performance of client's equipment to withstand voltage transient, radiated field, electrostatic discharge and bulk current injection in accordance with the relevant standards.
  • All test measurements would indicate the range of frequencies or levels of failure applicable to the type of testing.
  • Full documentation is provided to enable the client to compliment their Technical Construction File (TCF) and self-certify their equipment, subject to satisfactory EMC results.
