Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing

DEKRA evaluates the applicable Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements that an electronic device or component has in order to comply with national and international standards and requirements.

The Benefits of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing

Ensures compliance with global EMC regulations
Reduces risk of interference in complex environments
Validates product performance and safety
Supports early detection of emission or immunity issues
Facilitates access to international markets

About EMC Testing

EMC testing ensures that products operate safely and reliably without interfering with other electronic devices or being affected by them. DEKRA conducts EMC testing for both emissions (radiated and conducted) and immunity (resistance to disturbances), in a controlled environment such as anechoic chambers and shielded rooms.

We provide EMC testing during the development phase (pre-compliance and debugging) as well as for final certification. Testing is customized for each device type, technology, and target market.
