Test Houses
Test Houses are essential to help you test your product for EMC compliance.
In the UK, accredited test houses are accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) and are responsible for testing electronic products to ensure that they comply with the emissions and immunity limits set by regulatory bodies for a specific product area or standard.
Here are some reasons why Test Houses are important for EMC:
Compliance: UKAS accredited Test Houses ensure that electronic products comply with the relevant EMC regulations and standards. Compliance with these standards is essential for electronic devices to be sold in the UK, EU and other territories and regions.
Safety: EMC compliance testing ensures the safety of electronic devices for both the user and other devices or systems installed in the same electromagnetic environment.
Project Risk Reduction: Leaving EMC testing until the later stages of a project can leave your project exposed to a number of risks.
With a compliance strategy written into a project plan early and managed throughout the R&D process, those risks are able to managed and/or avoided completely.
It is advisable to test for compliance early to reduce the risk of any test failures causing delays to key project milestones, saving both time and money.
Expertise: Test Houses have the expertise and experience to test electronic products for EMC compliance. They have the necessary equipment and facilities to perform the required tests and provide accurate results.
In conclusion, UK Test Houses are essential for EMC compliance testing. They ensure that electronic products comply with the relevant regulations and standards, are safe to use, and do not pose any risks to users. EMC compliance testing is essential for compliance testing, and it ensures that electronic equipment can function correctly in the presence of electromagnetic disturbances.
