EMC Testing
Power Quality
The portion of products that draw non-linear current from the distribution network is rapidly growing. This growing use of switched mode power supplies and electronic light sources causes a major problem for the power companies, when the actual current consumption of a network heavily overrates the specifications.
MIL Standards
Nemko’s EMC test facilities can support RF emission measurements from 10Hz to 110GHz and RF immunity from 9kHz to 18GHz.
IN-SITU Services
Traditionally almost all EMC testing is conducted in an EMC laboratory, under controlled conditions with stable environmental conditions, i.e. ambient noise, temperature and humidity. These tests are usually conducted in isolated chambers, shielded rooms and the equipment under test can be configured and manipulated the way you want.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Nemko is a major international player in EMC testing, based on our own EMC test sites in Europe, the Far East and North America. All our sites are equipped for a wide range of tests. They have a variety of shielded enclosures, anechoic chambers (up to 10 meters) and open area test sites (up to 30 meters) are also equipped for testing a wide range of products.
FCC
For many products, EMC emission testing is also required by a laboratory recognized by the US Federal Communication Commission (FCC) or Industry Canada (IC), such as Nemko.
Automotive
Nemko has accreditation for all essential automotive EMC tests. Technical service status opens the way for EMC type approvals for vehicles and vehicle equipment based on Nemko’s test reports.
At our EMC chambers we can test subassemblies and whole vehicles up to.30 000 kg. Nemko is also authorized to perform factory audits to ensure the conformity of production.
Electromagnetic Immunity
Any electromagnetic disturbance, natural or man-made, is potentially a hazard to other susceptible electronic equipment in that environment. The susceptibility may cause damages or malfunctions to the device, and may even end up in hazardous and unintended operation.
Electromagnetic Emission
One very important intention with the EMC emission requirements is to prevent electric pollution of the frequency spectrum, and to maintain operational integrity for radio transmission services. To maintain a low ambient noise level is in the interest of any party, and by that enabling radio transmission service to continue to operate as intended also in the future.
