Modern and clean testing laboratory for proficiency testing

Environmental testing - EMC

Proficiency testing "Environment / EMC"

In cooperation with the consulting company 4TIERS GmbH from Hamburg, Germany, we have developed a new new proficiency testing program in the field of environmental testing and EMC.
For the year 2024 the focus will be on the following test areas:

Environmental testing:

  •  Vibration / Shock
  •  Change of temperature and damp heat

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC):

  •  Radiated Emission / Radiated Susceptibility (Immunity)
  •  Conducted disturbance / Conducted immunity

This proficiency testing program, developed and first time offered in 2022, closes a gap for all accredited laboratories in the field of environmental testing and EMC. Until now, laboratories had to make use of interlaboratory comparisons or other comparative measurements. Now our professionally organized proficiency testing program can help to fulfill the requirements of accreditation.


Vibration / Shock

IEC 60068-2-6, -2-27, -2-64

Two proficiency tests, with several rounds per year depending on demand, are available:

  • Vibration - sinusoidal / broadband random IEC 60068-2-6, -2-64
  • Shock IEC 60068-2-27

The test consists of up to 3 tasks::

a.) Qualification of the main movement with evaluation of the disturbance sensitivity as an interaction between test specimen and testing machine.
b.) Qualification of the transverse movement with evaluation of the disturbance sensitivity as an interaction between test specimen and testing machine.
c.) Measurement of the characteristic resonance frequencies of the test specimen

Change of temperature / damp heat

IEC 60068-2-14, -2-30, -2-39

Two proficiency tests are availablee:

  • Change of temperature (25°C – 55°C) IEC 60068-2-14
  • Damp heat and temperature/humidity cyclic IEC 60068-2-30, -2-38

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Radiated Emission / Radiated Susceptibility (Immunity)

The EMC test object may be identical for all test tasks and consists of a tabletop unit with various supply connection options suitable for the specific task, e.g. 230V / 50 Hz, 12 V DC, 28 V DC.
