EMC MEASUREMENT SERVICES

EMC OATS Testing For Only $395 Per Day !

Electromagnetic Compatibility

EMC measurements are required by many different governments throughout the world. EMC is an important compliance issue for equipment manufacturers. With the increased use of wireless communications, the potential for interference is also increasing. CCL has fully equipped facilities, including a 10 meter open area test site, a 30 meter open area test site and a 3 meter anechoic chamber, needed to perform the EMC measurements you require. We perform both emission and immunity measurements to a wide range of international and domestic standards.

Radiated and Conducted Emission Measurements

Radiated Emissions applications include CISPR 22, EN 55022, and FCC Part 15. CCL has measurement facilities for making measurements at 3, 10 and 30 meters. Each of the sites are listed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Voluntary Control Council for Interference by Information Technology Equipment (VCCI) and comply with the Normalized Site Attenuation requirements given in ANSI/IEEE C63.4.

FCC Declaration of Conformity

The FCC has adopted rules which relax the equipment authorization procedures for personal computers and peripherals to personal computers. The rules permit manufacturers of such equipment to issue a "Declaration of Conformity" based on testing performed by an accredited test laboratory. CCL has been accredited by NVLAP for several years and is fully prepared to perform the measurement services needed for you to take advantage of this procedure.

European Competent Body

CCL has established a relationship with a competent body, located in the United Kingdom, which permits the EMC testing of your product at CCL's facilities in the United States. Based on the test data generated by CCL, a technical construction file (TCF) is prepared by CCL and reviewed by the competent Body resulting in the issuance of a Certificate of Conformity. This service provides you with the option of testing your product in the United States, even when a TCF is required.

Radiated and Conducted Immunity Measurements

The 3 meter EMC Anechoic Chamber located at Communication Certification Laboratory in Salt Lake City provides for testing to various radiated immunity standards including IEC 1000-4-3 and TIA/EIA 631-1996. The anechoic chamber is fully compliant with the filed uniformity requirements specified by IEC 1000-4-3.

Telephone Set Immunity Measurements

During the past few years there has been a high level of consumer complaints due to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) trouble in telecommunications terminal equipment. The FCC has sought industry support in solving this problem. As a result the Telecommunications Industry Association has prepared a voluntary standard, TIA/EIA 631-1996, which provides test methods and test requirements in the area of RFI immunity.

It is hoped that by the industry taking voluntary action on this problem, that it will not be necessary for the government to step in and establish mandatory regulations. The FCC has taken an active role in promoting the voluntary standard and is encouraging the telecommunication industry to solve this problem on their own.

Environmental Effects of Radiofrequency Emissions

.

The FCC has adopted new guidelines and methods for evaluating the environmental effects of radiofrequency (RF) emissions from FCC-regulated transmitters, such as cellular and PCS antennas and telephones, radio and television broadcast antennas and satellite communications antennas. The Commission has stated that the new guidelines are generally more stringent than the previous rules and are based on recommendations of the federal health and safety agencies (Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration).

The FCC has adopted Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for electric and magnetic field strength and power density for transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz. These MPE limits are generally based on recommendations of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and, in many respects, are also generally based on the guidelines issued by the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) and adopted by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992. The FCC has also adopted limits for Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for evaluating certain hand-held devices, such as cellular and PCS telephones, based on ANSI/IEEE and NCRP recommendations.

The new RF guidelines will apply to applications for stations filed with the FCC after January 1, 1997. Guidelines and requirements for evaluation of hand-held devices will apply immediately.

Radio Type Approval Testing

Testing services are provided in support of obtaining approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for radio transmitters and receivers. Test services cover products such as Cellular Telephones, Personal Communication Service (PCS) Devices, Mobile Radios and Cordless Telephones. CCL is fully equipped to perform testing on Unlicensed Personal Communication Service Devices subject to FCC Part 15 Subpart D.
