Facilities

Within our new custom built EMC test house we have laboratories/anechoic chambers 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.
