DEKRA, a global testing, inspection, certification, and advisory company, offers electromagnetic field (EMF) testing services to verify that electrical equipment complies with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements and applicable national and international standards for safe market access.
The company states that electrical equipment generates electromagnetic fields, and EMF testing evaluates whether products remain within permitted electromagnetic radiation limits while also assessing their immunity to electromagnetic interference from other electronic equipment. DEKRA explains that EMF laboratory testing forms part of EMC testing and supports compliance with European EMC directives, which define product requirements for electromagnetic emissions and immunity.
According to the company, EMF testing helps manufacturers verify product safety, reliability, and sustainability while demonstrating compliance with international standards. The testing process also supports reducing the risk of disruptions caused by electromagnetic interference and helps manufacturers avoid legal issues such as fines, recalls, or sales restrictions associated with non-compliance.
DEKRA performs EMF testing at its EMC laboratory in Arnhem to determine whether products meet relevant regulatory requirements. The company notes that products incorporating radio technologies, including smart products, often require EMF testing. It also provides testing services for organizations that do not have the required knowledge, resources, or equipment to perform EMC testing internally.
The company states that its EMF testing services include accredited testing audited annually by the Dutch Accreditation Council, complete management of the testing process and documentation, progress reporting, and support throughout compliance activities. DEKRA also highlights fast delivery times, its role as an independent accredited laboratory, and its experience across EMC testing services, providing test results intended for customers, regulatory authorities, and other stakeholders.
