The ability of a technical device not to disturb other devices by electrical or electromagnetic effects or to be disturbed itself is called electromagnetic compatibility.
The multitude of specifications of the international legislators provide manufacturers and distributors with a wide variety of limit values for immunity to interference or the emission of interference from technical equipment that must be complied with for the market launch of the device.
Compliance with the specified EMC limit values is tested in our ISO 17025 accredited laboratories in Germany and the USA. We have a large number of measurement capacities to flexibly implement customer projects:
In order to provide our customers with the greatest possible capacity, flexible shielded measuring cabins are also available.
We conduct EMC tests based on various internationally harmonized EMC standards and our test reports are recognized by official bodies and authorities around the world. This applies among others for
Our testing services are based on all common European EMC requirements. Here are the following guidelines to mention:
We hold various accreditations for the performance of EMC tests on vehicles. These include the designation as a technical service for EMC and the associated E1 recognition of the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) for EMC test services in accordance with UN-R 10 series of amendments 05 (Annexes 4-6 and 11-16), as well as the E13 recognition for EMC test services by the authority in Luxembourg.
In addition, we offer various EMC tests according to specifications of car manufacturers. These include, among others, TL81000 (VW), MBN 10384 (Mercedes Benz) and GS95002 (BMW).
We are accredited by the ZLG, the central office for health protection of medical products and devices, to carry out EMC tests for technical medical devices according to the guidelines and standards
and can thus offer EMC testing services for electrical medical devices.
Our EMC laboratories are equipped with high-quality measuring equipment to perform various types of customized EMC tests and to be able to define specific EMC performance testing procedures according to customer requirements. The customized EMC testing services include:
As a Notified Body under the EMC Directive (2014/30/EU), we are empowered and able to audit specific test plans, as well as to produce statements for products in which harmonized standards differ, do not exist or are not fully applied can be.
Electromagnetic environmental compatibility (also known as electromagnetic compatibility to the environment, EMCE) refers to the compatibility of electromagnetic field emissions (EMF) with the environment, in particular human beings, and sets limits to ensure safety and prevent possible damage to health.
As part of our tests, we cover frequency ranges between 0 Hz and 6 GHz for EMCE measurements of electrical fields, in individual cases also higher frequencies. For magnetic fields, frequencies up to 250 MHz are recorded and evaluated. This covers power generation systems, energy transfer systems (transmission lines, also HVDC), electrical machines and systems as well as intentional radio equipment from radio equipment via mobile radio base stations to radar stations, as well as other field-emitting devices and systems.
