EMC Testing of Commercial
Products
EMC Integrity, Inc. has the ability to test a wide range of commercial products, from battery-powered, handheld meters to electrosurgical generators to data storage libraries with 100's of terabytes of storage capacity. One of the many advantages of testing at EMCI is the fact that full-compliance emissions and immunity testing is performed under one roof. Historically, commercial EMC testing has entailed testing emissions at an OATS, tearing down, packing up, shipping product, unpacking, re-assembling and testing immunity at the immunity test site. At EMC Integrity, the transition between emissions and immunity is as simple as moving the test article from one test area to another.
EMCI has been accredited for European Union (EU) compliance testing since January of 1997. We are audited annually to ISO 17025: 2005. Markets that we service are generally broken down as follows:
- Information Technology (IT) Equipment
- Medical
- Scientific, Test & Measurement
- Industrial
- Light Industrial
- Other (includes audio/visual, consumer electronics, motorized scooter & wheelchairs, etc.)
EMCI's testing capabilities for commercial products include, but are not limited to, the following:

In addition to these formal tests, EMCI can perform an engineering-level evaluation on any of the tests listed above. EMCI's expertise in test engineering, coupled with our ability to perform MIL-STD testing, also gives us the latitude to perform many other non-standard tests which may be required by a client or other procuring agency. Some of these tests include:
Conducted emissions, 10 Hz to 400 MHz
Conducted susceptibility, 10 kHz to 1 GHz (various injection
methods)
Radiated E-field emissions, 10 Hz to 40 GHz
Radiated H-field emissions, 10 Hz to 30 MHz
Radiated E-field susceptibility, 10 kHz to 40 GHz
Radiated H-field susceptibility, 10 Hz to 3 kHz @ 400 A/m, at
lower levels to 100 kHz
