Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

BSI offers a wide range of testing facilities to cover requirements for all aspects of your products. As so many products fall within the scope of the EMC Directive, our UKAS accredited facility offers you: 

  • 3 meter semi-anechoic chamber & screened room
  • Handling capacity of 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5m, up to 2 tonnes
  • Mobile service for testing at your site 

Special services 

BSI can offer special test and development services, where British or European Standards are in development, or do not exist for a particular product. 

Additionally, BSI’s expertise can help to: 

  • Formulate bespoke test programmes to meet client needs
  • Develop test regimes beyond those required by published standards
  • Identify problems early in the design process, thus saving the client time and money  

The EMC Directive does not specify the technical methods of achieving its essential requirements but it allows two routes to compliance. 

  • Where harmonised European EMC standards exist which apply to a particular product, or, failing that, generic standards which apply to the environment in which the product will be used, the manufacturer can self certify that his product meets those standards.
  • Where no standards exist or where the manufacturer does not apply them, the manufacturer must keep a Technical Construction File (TCF), which documents how product compliance is achieved. As a Competent Body BSI provide TCF assessment services.  

Other services available at BSI Product Services include Environmental Testing Covering Shock, Vibration, IP, Temperature and Humidity Testing.
