TESTING CAPABILITY Testing takes place at the Grey Lynn Lab and at the OATS at Ardmare aerodrome located near Papakura about 40 minutes drive from the Lab. EMC Technologies Auckland has IANZ accreditation for all the major European Emission and Immunity standards. Our testing is accredited by TUV Product Services for CB (Competent Body) certificates or TUV PS certificates. Following an intensive assessment by International Accreditation New Zealand, (formerly TELARC) we have recently been designated as a European Union (EU) Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) as allowed for under the EU Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 89/336/EEC. The designation as a CAB will allow the laboratory to perform local conformity assessment (both testing and Competent Body) of all electrical products under the scope of the EMC Directive which previously could only be carried out by Competent Bodies in Europe. For a full listing of the comprehensive testing services offered by the Auckland Lab, have a look at the testing services page and feel free to contact us.

EQUIPMENT PROFILE Our wide range of test equipment allows reliable and accurate emissions and susceptibility testing to EMC Directive requirements. eg. ESD guns, Electrical Fast Transient generators, coupling clamps and high quality RF power amplifiers.. We have a strong radio communications compliance testing capability. Check out our detailed testing notes to find out more about this capability. Automated testing is employed using control software developed in-house for fast turnaround and improved accuracy.

JOINT EMI TESTING SERVICE: AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND Information technology equipment and telecom products can generate radio interference (EMI). In New Zealand, these products are required to meet either the IEC CISPR 22 or AS/NZ 3548 standard (both are equivalent). In Australia, products that connect to a telecom network are required by the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) to meet AS/NZ 3548 as part of the C-tick requirements. Our laboratory is approved in New Zealand and Australia for EMI testing to these standards. By having your products tested by us, you can simultaneously meet New Zealand and Australian requirements. By using our services, you are assured of a level of quality which is recognised internationally due to our IANZ accredited laboratory quality management system. Further, you can reduce costs by taking advantage of our one-stop shop service, which we offer jointly with Wakefield Laboratories in Auckland, New Zealand, covering: Electrical safety testing, Telecom permit-to-connect testing, and EMI testing to New Zealand and Australian requirements. EMC Directive for 89/336/EEC (CE Marking). You will find our fees are very competitive, too. Return to Contents

ELECTROMAGNETIC IMMUNITY TESTING Do your products need to be immune to the electromagnetic environment in which they operate? Do they need to comply with the EMC directive 89/336/EEC ? Do they need CE marking? Products can be affected in many subtle ways by electromagnetic energy. For example: A computer could lose a few bits of data on a random basis. A crane controller could suddenly drop its load without warning. An electronic door lock may suddenly open. An audio amplifier or a telephone could pick up land mobile conversations. This electromagnetic energy is emitted by a very large number of products in daily use in our domestic, industrial and business environments. This problem is recognised internationally, and has resulted in the development of a series of EMC immunity standards. EMC Technologies New Zealand is IANZ accredited to perform the following immunity testing which meet most CE marking standards listed on the official Journal of the European Union: Electrostatic Discharge Testing to IEC 61000-4-2 Air Discharges up to 15kV Contact Discharges up to 8kV Radiated Immunity Testing to IEC 61000-4-3 10V/m 80 - 1000MHz 3V/m 26 - 1000MHz Electrical Fast Transient Bursts to IEC 61000-4-4 Surge Immunity Testing to IEC 61000-4-5 Conducted Immunity Testing to IEC 61000-4-6 3V, 150kHz - 230MHz Voltage Dips and Short Interruptions to IEC 61000-4-11 Test sample rating up to 24 amps Mains Harmonics to IEC 61000-3-2 Flicker to IEC 61000-3-3 Voltage dips and short interruptions to IEC 61000-4-11 (Test sample rating to 24 amps) Return to Contents

TESTING We can conduct the tests ourselves for you, or you can join us during the testing. We will work with you to assist you in developing the immunity of your product, if required. We will provide you a test report indicating the sensitive frequencies, the degradation or fault observed, and the field levels of immunity. Return to Contents

GLOBAL PRODUCT COMPLIANCE TESTING Are you an exporter? Must your products comply with the radio or EMC type approval standards in the countries to which you are exporting? We are pleased to announce that our Radio Type Testing and EMC testing services are now accepted by most countries including Europe where the RTTE Directive is enforced. This list is growing, so contact us to check on a standard even if it is not on this list. In some cases, access to a country is achieved by formal agreement with a local testing company located in that country. For a small number of specialised or unique tests, we arrange for this company to conduct these tests. Return to Contents

WHY USE US You are able to arrange for testing and certification to many countries’ requirements at the same time. You avoid the cost and inconvenience of arranging testing and certification in a country outside your region. You can easily travel to our laboratory, because it is conveniently nearby, to observe and participate in the testing if necessary. You can be assured of quality services, due to our IANZ laboratory accreditation. Return to Contents

SERVICE DELIVERY AND FEES Our fees are very competitive internationally, and our turn-around times are amongst the best in the world. No longer will you have to tolerate lengthy and expensive delays for testing, before commencing selling. We provide a turn-around time of one week for most standards, provided a laboratory booking is made. Return to Contents
