EMC Testing

Devices with an electrical energy source must comply with the European Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) directive 2014/30/EU, 2004/108/EC. They must neither interfere with the operation of other products nor be affected themselves by external interference.

As a European Notified Body and National Certification Body under this directive, DEKRA can provide testing and certification for your products. In fact, we’ve been officially designated to implement the complete conformity assessment of the EMC directive for access to the EU market. Compliance with the Directive is not only limited to CE marking, but also our own DEKRA-EMC certification which includes both type-testing and follow-up auditing. Meanwhile, a CB-EMC certificate is also possible for international acceptance level.

EMC tests are also required for crucial automobile components such as airbags and ABS. But other electronics such as ornamental lights and in-car entertainment must also comply with the EMC criteria stipulated in the EU Automotive directive 2007/46/EC. At DEKRA we can determine whether your products conform to this directive and we’re also accredited for the certification of motor vehicle lighting such as headlights, taillights, rear fog lights, back-up lights (for vehicle lighting testing) as well as the light sources.

If your products meet EMC requirements, you will receive an E4 certificate. As the Dutch Road Transport Directorate (RDW) has approved DEKRA as a “technical department”, our results are readily adopted within their E4 certification. We can help you prepare for admission and certification via the RDW and, once RDW has issued an E4 certificate, your products can be freely marketed throughout the European Union. Our lab has facilities for testing virtually all vehicles, including buses and sports cars.

DEKRA can also provide other E-mark approval application, such as E1, E5, E12, E24, E34, per your request.

Rapid technical development of Integrated Circuit (IC) makes components with multi-function to be integrated in the single IC. The problem of IC EMC is getting worse and more important in the real world due to operations with high-speed clock, smaller IC volume and low cost. We have complete IC-EMC test capability for international standards, such as Europe, the United States, Japan and so on. Our services cover from IC test board layout design, complete EMC measuring system, to analytical IC-EMC characteristics. Our services cover industries of wireless radio products, computers, automotive electronics controllers, car radio, military equipment, active medical devices (Medical electrical and electronics).

In additions, we also provide our customers with all round training courses, consultancy on new RD products, real-time debugging consultancy and also to help them establish debug and trouble shooting environment……. In the eve of rapid development of new technology, the product life cycle of electronic products is getting shorter and shorter. In future, we will continue to support our customers in their PCB layout through even more advanced technology, with an aim to effectively and efficiently help customers save time to get product certificate and to shorten their product time to market.

Most of testing requirements of EMC standards are more or less equivalent, except for small national deviations. DEKRA have a comprehensive service scope of standards and services covering worldwide markets. We here list the most popular representative countries for your reference.
