Etteplan is offering state-of-the-art accredited EMC testing services for users to ensure that their devices conform to standards and regulations, not forgetting interoperability and user experience. Etteplan Finland Oy holds the commercial EMC test laboratory accreditation code T298 in accordance with requirement SFS-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017, giving it the ability to offer accredited EMC and RF testing in compliance with the standards.

EMC testing mandatory for all electronic equipment

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing ensures that electronic products comply with official requirements. Comprehensive emissions, including radiated emissions, and immunity tests are performed in EMC test labs to ensure that the product can operate without disturbances in various household and industrial environments. It also ensures the safe use of the product, for example, the product won’t interfere with other electrical equipment or present an electric hazard to the user. Etteplan team can offer a wide range of basic EMC tests and product standards for wireless, industrial, scientific, railway, machinery, multimedia, and medical devices.

Testing Services and Compliance Consultation

Etteplan provides a wide range of standardized EMC tests and RF tests using automated measurement equipment and test environments. The team can conduct ESD, EFT, surge, radiated immunity, and emission tests. RF measurements for radio systems, such as WLAN, Bluetooth, Bluetooth LE, NFC, LoRa, WMBUS, 868 MHz, are also in the scope of its quick and cost-effective EMC testing services. The team also cooperates with other accredited test laboratories to complement its service portfolio. Furthermore, Etteplan offers turnkey Compliance Consulting and Approval services.

What are EMI and EMC?

Electromagnetic Interference or EMI refers to the phenomenon of emitted radiation and its effects. Electromagnetic Compatibility or EMC means that a device is compatible with its electromagnetic environment and doesn’t emit levels of EM energy that cause electromagnetic interference in other devices in the vicinity.
