Facilities

Within our new custom built EMC test house we have laboratories containing up to the minute test equipment enabling us to meet the most exacting standards. From the smallest handheld device to the largest vehicle we have a chamber to suit.

Our facilities include:

  •   3m CISPR 16 Semi-Anechoic Chamber
  • 10m CISPR 16 Semi-Anechoic Chamber
  • Two  CISPR 25 Semi-Anechoic Chambers
  • Two Automotive Electrical Test Laboratories
  • ESD Test Laboratory
  • General Purpose Screened Room
  • Radio Laboratory
  • Safety Laboratory
  • High Voltage Test Laboratory

We can offer:

  • Radiated Immunity: 20Hz - 18GHz up to 600V/m (depending on frequency range and test method).
  • Test methods include tri-plate, bulk current injection, stripline, electric and magnetic free field.
  • Radiated Emissions: 20Hz – 26.5GHz Conducted Emissions: 20Hz – 400 MHz
  • Transients: Configurable systems covering all pulses specified by ISO 7637, Ford & GM.
  • ESD: Variable networks up to ± 25kV, contact and air.
  • DC Electrical Performance testing using fully variable set-ups with function generators in tandem with DC-10kHz amplifiers of up to 5kW capability.

Quality is essential to us and we are UKAS accredited to BS EN ISO 17025: 2005. We also hold may other country and manufacturer specific accreditations.
