Electromagnetic Compatibility


The Test Center offers accredited services to perform EMC tests to show compliance of ISM (Industrial Scientific and Measurement) equipment and medical equipment;

with the EMC Directive of the European Commission and other market access regulations.


This includes tests of the Emission tests and of the Immunity tests.


Electromagnetic Emission test

Conducted emissions CISPR 11 / EN 55011

Disturbances produced by the EUT in the frequency span from 150 kHz to 30 MHz, which are most likely transmitted via the power line, are evaluated and shall not exceed the limits for either industrial environments or domestic environments

Radiated emmision electromagnetic CISPR 11 / EN 55011

Disturbances produced by the EUT in the frequency span from 30 MHz to 1 GHz, which are most likely transmitted through the air, are evaluated on an 10 m open area test site and shall not exceed the limits for either industrial environments or domestic environments

Harmonic current emissions IEC/EN 61000-3-2

Due to its theory of operation, switching power supplies produce current harmonics.

For domestic environments, these current harmonics are regulated and shall not be exceeded by the EUT.

Voltage fluctuations and flicker IEC/EN 61000-3-3

Excessive power consumption changes of the EUT may affect the Voltage stability of the public power system leading to flickering light bulbs.

Therefore limits for domestic environments are defined and shall not be exceeded by the EUT.


Electromagnetic Immunity test

Electrostatic discharges IEC/EN 61000-4-2

The EUT is subjected to ESD discharges up to 8 kV.
This can be extended for Keysight internel requirement up to 15 kV

Radiated, radio-frequency, electromagnetic fields IEC/EN 61000-4-3

The EUT is subjected to amplitude modulated constant wave signals from 80 MHz to 2,7 GHz simulating the effects of nearby UHF and VHF transmitters.

Electrical fast transients / bursts IEC/EN 61000-4-4

The signal- and power-lines of the EUT are subjected to low-energy high-voltage bursts up to 2 kV simulating the effects of nearby switching circuit breakers and actuators.

Surge immunity IEC/EN 61000-4-5

The signal- and power-lines of the EUT are subjected to high-energy high-voltage surges up to 2 kV simulating the effects of lightning strikes to the public power system.

Conducted disturbances, induced by radio-frequency fields IEC/EN 61000-4-6

The signal- and power lines of the EUT are subjected to amplitude modulated constant wave signals from 150 kHz to 80 MHz simulating the effects of nearby HF and HF transmitters.

Power frequency magnetic fields IEC/EN 61000-4-8 The EUT is subjected to oscillating magnetic fields simulating the effects of nearby power transmission lines
Voltage dips, short interruptions and voltage variations IEC/EN 61000-4-11 The power input of the EUT is subjected to drops and dips of the nominal power supply
