The Melbourne and Sydney laboratories of EMC Technologies have gained NATA accreditation for Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) testing of military equipment to MIL-STD 461 B, C,
D and E. This unique scope of accreditation includes most test requirements
and methods called up by MIL-STD 462, allowing defence agencies, contractors
and defence suppliers to prove compliance with the stringent EMC limits imposed on defence equipment and systems.
MIL-STD-461 (limits) and MIL-STD-462 (test methods) are coordinated documents used by the Army,
Air force and Navy as a baseline to standardize EMC design and test requirements
for equipment and systems. They provide a standardized set of interference
control and test requirements, which form a common basis for assessing
the EMC characteristics. They include conducted emissions, radiated emissions,
conducted susceptibility, and radiated susceptibility requirements.
EMC Technologies’ Melbourne and Sydney facilities include large semi-anechoic chambers that accommodate
large vehicles and equipment as well as small military devices. The scope of the new NATA accreditation includes:
Conducted Emissions: CE01/CE101, CE03/CE103
Radiated Emissions: RE01/RE101, RE02/RE102
Radiated Susceptibility: RS01/RS101, RS02, RS03/RS103
Conducted Susceptibility: CS01/CS101, CS02, CS06, CS114, CS115
EMC Technologies experienced EMC and Tempest engineers also provides expert consultancy services to
defence agencies, contractors and suppliers in the areas of EMC design
and systems integration. Tender bid assistance, documentation preparation and Tempest consultation and pre-testing is also provided.
This unique NATA accreditation complements EMC’s wide scope of accreditation, which includes all ACA C-tick
standards, all major CE marking emission, immunity and safety standards,
as well as FCC and VCCI regulatory requirements. EMR/RADHAZ standards and regulations are also included.
