Competent Body/Conformity Assessment Body Services

NATA Accredited and Government Appointed

Both the Melbourne and Sydney facilities have been appointed by the Australian Government  regulator the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) as a Competent Body under the EMC Framework, Radiocommunications Act 1992.

This allows EMC Technologies to provide suppliers and manufacturers of electrical and electronic products with the alternate route to establishing compliance by means of the assessment of Technical Construction Files (TCF).

Examples of the use of the TCF route include the following:

  • Testing against standards is not practical due to the physical size or nature of the device.
  • There are a large number of product variants that make testing un-economical.
  • Where modifications have been performed on approved equipment.
  • Where testing has been performed to other standards.

EMC Technologies is an accredited Competent Body for Australia and a designated Conformity Assessment Body (CAB0 for European CE Marking compliance.  The key personnel are also NATA signatories for most of the ACMA EMC standards and are well placed to offer independent advice to manufacturers and suppliers on the selection of the best route to compliance with the EMC regulations. This makes EMC Technologies the only Competent Body to date to also provide NATA accredited testing for the relevant emission and immunity standards.

For a comprehensive discussion of the role of Competent Bodies, have a look at THE ROLE OF AN EMC TEST HOUSE AND COMPETENT BODY article by EMC Technologies Technical Director Chris Zombolas.

Comprehensive Spectrum Monitoring
 
 
 
 
 
We've developed a comprehensive spectrum logging capability
which provides for continuous 24 hour recording.
                            This allows for the capture of random events and the 
                                generation of a diurnal profile accurately reflecting
                                    the daily variation in electromagnetic fields.
                                    Site characterisations are therefore more comprehensive
                                than those permitted by slice-of-time spectral recordings.

You can accurately determine the period of operation of
interference sources, limits of variation in the noise floor,
and deduce other valuable information.

EMC Studies

EMC studies are carried out using specially developed sophisticated measurement systems. On-site investigations identify interference problems and independent cost effective solutions are provided.

Our consultants are among the most experienced in the world with a solid track record in EMC/EMI diagnosis and solution development.


What if you FAIL

If your product fails the test then you need the services of a laboratory with many years of specialised EMC/EMI experience. EMC Technologies staff can draw on the experience gained from thousands of tests and fixes to provide the most appropriate and cost effective solution.

We have hundreds of EMI components available in-house from a large number of suppliers.
EMC problem solving can be expensive. Our recommendations can reference products from a large list of vendors providing you with greater sourcing flexibility and a cost effective solution.

We will provide comprehensive plots of the measurements with an analysis of the results and recommendations to achieve compliance.
