What To Expect From The EMC Testing Facility You Choose To Work With
Like with all electrical and electronic products, you'll have to hire a testing facility to ensure that your product meets EMC standards whether you are getting ready to introduce a new washing machine, laptop, smarphone, or music recording equipment to the market. Following are a few things you should be able to expect from the EMC testing company you choose to work with:
Preliminary Consultations
The EMC testing facility you choose to work with should offer preliminary consultations and reviews to ensure that your product will be able to pass the testing phase. If you go into the testing phase without knowing where your product stands, you could waste quite a bit of time and money because you'll have to go back to the drawing board and pay for testing again.
But if your service provider can work with you to find problems and inconsistencies during the weeks leading up to testing time, you can address those issues right away and optimize the chance that your product will pass the testing phase with flying colors.
A Controlled Laboratory Environment
You can't test your product in your warehouse or even an empty room because there may be electromagnetic waves and other interference's present that could hamper the results of your testing. So you should also be able to rely on your chosen EMC testing company to provide you with a controlled and sanitary laboratory to complete your testing in.
Otherwise, you'll end up having to face the extra expense of a third-party laboratory facility. Make sure that the testing company you hire not only has plenty of laboratory space to test your product in, but is also able to safely transport your product to and from the facility for you.
Official Document Creation and Management
To prove your compliance with national and international EMC standards and regulations, your testing facility should provide you with official test reports, a declaration of conformity, and digital documents that list the types of testing that was done and the results of the tests. Your documentation can be used to submit proof of compliance to various regulatory bodies is necessary. And the facility should store your documentation so you it can easily be accessed if you need original copies of your test results at any point in the future.
Contact your chosen EMC testing services facility to learn more about what you can expect before, during, and after the testing phase and to schedule your initial consultation appointment.
