UL Solutions Offers Wireless Device EMC Testing and Certification Services 712370

UL Solutions, a testing, inspection, and certification company providing safety science and regulatory compliance services across industries, provides wireless device EMC testing and certification services through its global network of EMC laboratories, supporting emission and immunity testing to help products meet market requirements.

The company addresses unintended interactions and signal interference between electronic products and equipment emissions, which can impact electronic devices and radio systems. It states that in many countries, products must comply with EMC requirements before launch. Its pre-compliance testing is used to detect and resolve potential design flaws early in the process.

UL Solutions notes that no single global EMC compliance standard exists, with requirements varying by country and continuing to evolve. The company tracks regulatory changes and documentation requirements to support market access in more than 150 countries and has conducted compliance and pre-compliance testing for more than 20 years.

The company references the role of the International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) in publishing EMC standards. It highlights the development of CISPR 22 and 24 for IT equipment and the later introduction of CISPR 32 and 35 to address both AV and IT equipment applications.

UL Solutions also points to the role of Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs), which allow certification conducted in one country to be accepted in another, supporting the import and export of telecommunications and electronic equipment. The company includes automation in its EMC testing processes, stating that automated testing increases efficiency and consistency of results across its global laboratories.

Its EMC testing laboratories are accredited and equipped with semi-anechoic chambers. The company states that its laboratories follow standardized testing plans and can move staff and projects to meet demand. It also offers remote witnessing of tests, allowing real-time collaboration without requiring travel.

The company conducts emission and immunity testing, including millimeter wave (mmWave) testing, within its global laboratory network. It states that testing methodologies and documentation can be tailored to specific requirements. The company provides EMC testing and certification services across multiple industries, including automotive and medical devices.

UL Solutions also offers customized testing approaches designed to reduce testing cycles and supports international product entry through its Global Market Access program, combining EMC testing with safety certification and market access services.
