emc testing

Accelerate North American market access with this practical guide to NRTL, FCC, ISED, and SCC requirements. Clarify certification pathways, design for compliance early, and avoid costly retesting. Gain actionable insights across safety, EMC, radio, and regulatory alignment to reduce risk and streamline approvals from development through certification.

Compliance testing labs are where products prove they're ready for the real world — but what actually happens inside one? This primer walks through the key steps, tools, and methodologies engineers use to evaluate safety, performance, and regulatory adherence before products reach market.

Vectawave's VBA1060-60 brings 60W of GaN-powered broadband performance across 1 to 6 GHz — with Class A mismatch tolerance, proprietary Quadrature Hybrid combining, and flexible remote control via Ethernet, USB, and GPIB.

Choosing the wrong oscilloscope can compromise compliance results before testing even begins. This practical guide walks engineers through the critical selection factors — bandwidth, sampling rate, memory depth, and built-in analysis tools — and how to match each to real-world EMC, EMI, and high-speed digital testing demands.

Dropping a pre-certified radio module into your product sounds like a compliance shortcut — but integration choices can still land you back at the test lab. Cory Bradshaw and Craig Brandt explain what manufacturers need to get right before and after the module goes in.

Compliance engineering demands constant adaptation — and training is what makes it possible. This piece examines why continuous learning is essential for keeping pace with evolving standards, emerging technologies, and global regulatory requirements, and what it means for engineers who want to stay ahead.

Rohde & Schwarz expands the R&S BBA300 broadband amplifier family with new 500 W and 1000 W models covering 1–6 GHz in single-band operation. Designed for automotive, aerospace, and defense EMC testing — including HIRF applications — the solid-state units offer high linearity, mismatch tolerance, and modular system integration.

UL Solutions has announced a definitive agreement to acquire the electrical and electronics business of Eurofins Scientific — including the MET Labs certification mark — for approximately $670 million. The deal expands UL Solutions' global EMC, electrical safety, and connected product certification capabilities across EMEA and Asia-Pacific.

Changing enclosures, PCB layouts, component sources, or software doesn't mean the schematic changed—but it may mean your EMC certification did. This installment of Standards Practice breaks down which hardware modifications trigger the need for retesting, and why skipping it can be a costly mistake.

Global markets don’t run on assumptions—they run on accredited data. ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory accreditation gives manufacturers the consistency, accuracy, and credibility regulators expect. See why accreditation has become a competitive advantage across every major industry.
