EMC
Testing
It
is mandatory that any electrical
or electronic items sold within
Europe and many other parts of
the world meet the recognised
standards for electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC). UK
Electronics offers a low
cost service for assessing
your product's compliance with
most of these standards, either
before submitting it for full
testing by a fully accredited
agency or as part of the "self-certification"
route to compliance. This latter
route is the one most often
chosen by our clients as it
usually represents the most cost
effective method.
Many
customers also use our services:
to evaluate requirements during
development, thus reducing the
likelihood of having to redesign
their product to meet CE
requirements; to provide
assurance that minor
modifications to previously
accredited equipment has not
affected compliance; as part of
their ongoing quality assurance
programme.
Why
not contact UK Electronics to
discuss your CE requirements.
Whether your preference is to
deliver the equipment to our
facility and leave the testing
to us or whether you would
rather be on-hand yourself, you
can be assured of a service
which is both cost-effective and
professional. All results are
fully documented.

CE
Marking by Self Certification
Often
seen as complicated, the method
is in fact quite simple and is
outlined in the following
diagram. From only £495*+vat, the
cost of the UK Electronics
facility is amongst the most
competitive in the industry and
takes into account the
particular needs of small and
medium sized companies.Please email for information
*This
cost covers a full series of
tests, within the scope of the
UK Electronics test facilities,
on a single item to the relevant
standards. Investigations into
the possible cause(s) of
non-compliance will be carried
out if appropriate and
suggestions may be offered
regarding corrective action.
However, if significant
experimentation and retest is
involved or if the tests cannot
be completed within one working
day, further charges may be
incurred. |
