Intertek Latinoamérica & Caribbean has established a Semi-Anechoic Chamber (SAC) in Mexico to perform EMC testing on electronic equipment for the telecommunications and automotive industries in compliance with Mexican and international regulations.

SI-EMC, the company’s representatives in Mexico, developed the solution with COMTEST’s team to meet international standards as well as Mexico’s national regulations and requirements for the telecommunications and automotive industries. The facility is the first semi-anechoic chamber in Mexico for a public laboratory that offers component testing for the automotive industry.

Ricardo Morales Aguayo, EMC applications engineer at SI-EMC, led the project, supervised the installation, and designed the chamber.

Ricardo said: “In Mexico, telecommunications equipment must comply with local regulations for Telecom and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing. These tests need to be conducted within specialised enclosures and facilities, such as Semi-Anechoic Chambers (SAC), to guarantee the reliability and consistency of the measurements.

“However, other industries such as medical, automotive, commercial, aerospace, and military also require specialised testing with different configurations, setups, and test levels according to local and international standards.”
