Radio and Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing

EMC + RED LABORATORY

We have the most modern EMC laboratory in Poland (electromagnetic compatibility and radio parameters laboratory). We have a fully automated reflection-free chamber, which is equipped with a camera system with dedicated connectors and mediaconverters installed, as well as an instrumentation for measuring radiated emissions and electromagnetic field generation. As an EMC laboratory, we also have a unique conformity assessment system for wireless data transmission equipment. We also carry out radio tests. Thanks to our activities, it is possible to obtain the certificates required by law and the approval of the product to be placed on the market.

Radio and Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing – our offer:

We carry out comprehensive research on electronic devices (EMC Directive 2014/30/EU) and research on the efficient use of the radio spectrum (RED Directive 2014/53/EU)
As an electronics laboratory, we assist in obtaining external funding for our research (Innovation Voucher, POIR)
We carry out research and development work funded by national and foreign funds (NCBiR, PARP, POIR, Framework Programmes)

RED testing techniques:

ETSI EN 300 328 Wideband transmission systems; Data transmission equipment operating in the 2,4 GHz band; Harmonised Standard for access to radio spectrum
ETSI EN 301 893 5 GHz RLAN; Harmonised Standard covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU: measurements of RF output power, spectral power density, occupied channel bandwidth, adaptive channel access mechanisms, transmitter out-of-band emissions, transmitter spurious emissions, receiver spurious radiation, receiver blocking or hopping frequency separation.

ACCREDITATION AND THE REGULATED AREA

We hold the accreditation of the Polish Centre for Accreditation, meeting the requirements of the quality system according to PN-EN ISO/IEC 17025 for EMC testing since 1996. The detailed scope of our laboratory’s accreditation can be found at pca.gov.pl, accreditation certificate AB 053.
We operate in the field of standards harmonised with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council 2014/30/EU of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility), which is linked to the CE marking of electronic devices.
We operate in the field of standards harmonised with the Radio Spectrum Efficiency Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council 2014/53/EU of 16 April 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to making radio equipment available on the market and repealing Directive 1999/5/EC relating to CE marking of e.g. 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi and Bluetooth systems.

WHAT MAKES US STAND OUT?

Internationally recognised test results provide the basis for drawing up a declaration of conformity and "CE" marking of products

We are one of the few to enable electromagnetic field immunity testing up to 6 GHz and radiated emission measurement up to 40 GHz

A team of experts who are members of the organisations: PKN KT 104, IEC, CISPR, ETSI, CENELEC, IEEE EMC-S, FOR-EMC, EMC EUROPE

We also provide convenient infrastructure, including underground parking, a lift that reaches directly to the EMC laboratory level and an additional entrance from outside through a service door correlated with the chamber for large objects.
