EMC Testing

Compliance with the EMC Directive is a mandatory requirement for CE marking within Europe and is fast becoming mandatory for an increasing range of products for countries outside the EU, such as Japan, USA and the Middle East.

Nearly 50 percent of all products fail to fulfil the EMC requirements at the first attempt of EMC testing. This is why Intertek’s experienced engineers are on hand to assist you with the investigation and resolution of EMC problems that can occur during the testing phase.

Intertek can test to the requirements of most EMC standards, which include:

• Radiated and Conducted Immunity and Emissions
• ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
• Voltage Fluctuations, Harmonics and Burst Transients

and is also accredited to undertake tests on Classified Military Equipment.

EMF testing a new requirement

Electro-Magnetic Field (EMF) testing is a new requirement that measures the level of human exposure to electromagnetic fields. The new standard EN 50366:2003 for evaluating electromagnetic fields (EMF) generated by household appliances and similar equipment became compulsory in February 2006. If you need testing, contact us for more information. We handle anything from small domestic and consumer products up to large industrial machines and specialised equipment.
