On-site Testing

Where equipment is fixed, physically large, or your site needs assessment, our engineers can perform the same high standard of testing at your premises. 

Our on-site services include: 

  • EMC of fixed installation, and on-site service is available where our engineers can conduct the required tests at your premises or at the location where the product is installed. This is especially effective where the equipment is too large to ship to our test laboratory 
  • Installed Cables, we can undertake on-site measurements of installed coaxial cables to verify compliance to manufactures specifications 
  • Site Surveys, of RF Emissions can be made over the frequency range 9 kHz - 40 GHz. RF exposure measurements can be made to the Physical Agents Directive (PAD) to ICNIRP and NRPB guidelines. This type of measurement is required where radio frequency is used in the process, in areas such as – RF plastic welding, semiconductor manufacture, RF heating etc. 
  • EMF/RF Exposure, where we can offer assessments and surveys to measurement of non-ionising radiation allowing compliance to ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) exposure guidelines. ELF magnetic and electric field measurement at 50 Hz and RF field strength measurement 10 kHz to 40 GHz. Currently surveys are limited to a 100 mile radius of our base in Brentwood, Essex. 
     

On-site testing cababilities

Emissions
Immunity
Radiated emissions 30MHz - 18GHz Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Conducted emissions 9kHz - 100MHz Surge immunity 
Harmonic emissions  Electrical Fast Transient/Burst (EFT/B) 
  Receiver Intermodulation 
  Voltage Dips and Interruptions (VDI) 

Please get in touch if you have slightly different requirements from the above.

Additional on-site testing information 

 The extent of tests may be limited due to location: 

  • Radiated Immunity will be limited to spot frequencies using hand-held radios close to the EUT, due to non-interference limitations. 
  • Conducted Immunity can be extended to cover some of the missing Radiated Immunity. 

For purposes of onsite tests: 

  • Conducted Emissions will require a non-RCD circuit, or isolation transformer. 
  • Out-of-hours access and supervision is required.
