Regardless of your product's destination market, if it's electronic, electromagnetic or electromechanical, it must undergo Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing to pinpoint any "harmful" electronic emissions and determine its susceptibility to stray RF. Throughout the Commercial & Electrical Division of Intertek global network, many of our labs are equipped with the OATS (Outdoor Area Test Sites) and anechoic chambers, providing you with local EMC testing capabilities the world over.
- For the U.S. your product must comply with FCC Part 15
- For Canada, your product must follow Industry Canada (IC) guides
For the EU you need a Declaration of Conformity
- For Australia you need AUSTEL registration
- Japan requires VCCI marking.
Intertek 's EMC engineers will enable you to continuously carry out both pre-compliance and full-compliance testing. You can also receive help evaluating various technical aspects of your products in greater detail. For example, specific customer requirements and/or analysis of any margins for standard requirement levels regarding emission and immunity.
We are equipped with many EMC chambers, both fully-anechoic and semi-anechoic. In the largest of the chambers we have a 10-meter test site, which is the requirement in most standards. We also have the resources to perform tests at customer sites, when that is more appropriate. Intertek is a Competent Body according to the EMC Directive and a Notified Body according to the Radio & Telecom Terminal Directive (R&TTE).
An electrical or electro-mechanical product bearing the worldwide EMC Verification mark issued by Intertek or its parent company signifies that it was tested and meets the minimum requirements of prescribed electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards.
