What to look for in an EMC test facility: Accreditations
An EMC test facility should be accredited in immunity, emissions and basic tests. Below is a summary of these standards and their descriptions:
Emission Standards
Standard: Description
EN 61326: Measurement, Control & Laboratory Use
EN 12184: Motorized Scooters and Wheelchairs
EN 55011: Industrial, Scientific, Medical
EN 55022: Information Technology Equipment
EN 50081-1/EN 61000-6-3: Generic – Commercial and Light Industrial
EN 50082-1/EN 61000-6-4: Generic – (Heavy) Industrial
EN 55103-1: Audio, Visual, Audio/visual – Professional Use
EN 55014-1: Household appliances
Basic Standards
Standard: Description
EN 61000-3-2: AC Power Line Harmonics
EN 61000-3-3: AC Power Line Flicker
EN 61000-4-2, IEC 61000-4-2: Electrostatic Discharge
EN 61000-4-3, IEC 61000-4-3: Radiated RF Immunity
EN 61000-4-4 IEC 61000-4-4: Electrical Fast Transient Immunity
EN 61000-4-5, IEC 61000-4-5: Surge Immunity
EN 61000-4-6, IEC 61000-4-6: Conducted RF Immunity
EN 61000-4-8, IEC 61000-4-8: Power Frequency H-field Immunity
EN 61000-4-11, IEC 61000-4-11: Power Quality Failure
MIL-STD
MIL-STD testing is typically overseen by a client’s customer, a government representative, or both. The EMC test lab should be audited and meet the requirements of numerous aerospace corporations, both large and small. Also, they should have received several letters of appreciation from their clients for both their technical excellence and the dedication they show in making sure that the customers' schedule requirements were achieved. These letters should be available to inspection for all customers. |
