EMC Pre-Compliance Testing

The Best Way to Find & Fix Issues Quickly

We perform EMC pre-compliance testing to help our customers identify potential EMC issues. We do this in a cost-effective way by focusing on risk areas and quickly fixing issues that we find during testing. It takes less time and costs less than a traditional compliance test phase. We help our customers save time and money with our process.

Here are some key facts about our pre-compliance process:

  • We discover product issues quickly and with less cost

  • Using our advanced tools and expert staff, we find the root cause by understanding the physics and fix issues within the same test phase

  • We perform over-testing to ensure sufficient design margin is achieved and we validate solutions prior to any design updates

  • Our customers move forward quickly and confidently into their compliance test phase

By focusing on the risk areas and performing testing in a shorter time-frame we often save at least one product design iteration.  As issues are identified we have a full line-up of troubleshooting tools to locate the source of the failure.  In addition to our tools and expertise, we have a large number of component kits in house with soldering benches to prototype solutions and evaluate performance back in the chambers.

EMC Pre-compliance Testing Success Stories

A customer requested RF Radiated Emissions pre-compliance testing and the results showed failures.  We performed a quick design review of the schematics and PCB layout where we identified suspected sources.  Using our advanced diagnostic tools, we confirmed the suspected root cause and retrofitted a solution on their product. The modification was tested in the EMC chamber and the RF emissions failure was confirmed as resolved with sufficient margin. Our customer then implemented our design recommendations and updated the product design.  They built and tested the improved product design and confirmed passing compliance results. Our compliant solution and our design recommendations not only resulted in a pass, but it also provided a cost save by removing the unnecessary components in the design.  Our customer was pleased with the lower cost model on both the development testing and the reduced piece cost all done within a short time frame.
