Intertek opens new state-of-the-art EMC and radio test chamber in Leatherhead, UK
04 Dec 2024
Meeting the industry’s increasing need for fast and reliable electromagnetic compatibility and radio testing, now and in the future.
Leatherhead, UK: Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, recently opened the latest addition to its Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and radio testing lab in Leatherhead, UK. The new test chamber, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, further strengthens Intertek's capacity to offer comprehensive EMC and radio testing services across a range of sectors including consumer goods, industrial, medical, energy storage, transportation, and fire detection and alarm systems in the UK and beyond.
The new three-metre semi-anechoic EMC and radio test chamber is fitted with the latest, state-of-the-art technology in automated radio test stacks and receivers ranging up to 44 GHz frequencies. It enables the team of highly skilled engineers at Intertek’s Leatherhead testing laboratory to support today’s cutting-edge technology while future-proofing the facility for technologies requiring higher frequency bands.
As the global market for connected devices – from home electronics and appliances to medical devices – continues to grow and become increasingly regulated with the introduction of further global and regional standards, the need for efficient and accurate EMC and radio testing and expertise is rapidly increasing. The new three-metre semi-anechoic chamber complements the existing 10-metre, five-metre and three-metre test chambers in Leatherhead as well as Intertek’s other EMC facilities around the world, including in Sweden, Germany and Italy, with a range of up to 30 metres in size.
Andrew Trounce, Business Line Leader, Electrical, at Intertek UK, said: “With this addition to our laboratory in Leatherhead, we reinforce our capacity to support new and future customers with timely and efficient expert advice testing and certification to meet international, regional and local standards and successfully take their products from initial design to global market access.”
