Our test facilities
We have three environments that are available for booking. These utilise state-of-the-art equipment and are managed and run by a team of skilled engineers.
EMC Chamber
We operate a compliant EMC test chamber, which is available for manufacturers who want to perform emissions and immunity tests at a distance of 3m.
EMC Immunity
We provide Electrostatic Discharge, AC Surge and AC and Signal Line Transients bench testing.
Environmental
We provide Climatic Tests for testing the influence of temperature and humidity on the properties, function and lifespan of products.
EMC Chamber Tests
The following UKAS Accredited tests can be booked for this environment:
Radiated emissions tests – 30 MHz to 18 GHz
Conducted emissions tests – 9 kHz to 30 MHz
Radiated immunity tests – 80 MHz to 6 GHz at 3V/m and 10V/m
Conducted immunity tests – 150 kHz to 230 MHz at 3V and 10V
