In addition to testing services, Washington Laboratories offers site surveys to assess the electromagnetic environment and reduce potential interference. These surveys involve radio frequency measurements at client installations, helping identify and mitigate problems in sensitive environments, such as medical facilities with devices like pacemakers. The company's expertise in conducting on-site measurements ensures accurate assessments and timely results.
For situations where on-site testing is necessary, Washington Laboratories offers on-site testing for compliance, also known as in situ testing. This option is particularly useful when evaluating equipment at customer locations, factories, or non-laboratory venues. On-site testing is often chosen when equipment is too large for a traditional test laboratory or when specific infrastructure or support equipment is required for proper operation. The company accommodates various EMC, Safety, and Machinery requirements and ensures that all testing adheres to industry-recognized methodologies.
