EMC Testing for Automotive Components
We test according to the EMC standards of all automotive OEMs including those that require an specific laboratory recognition or approval like Ford, GM, Stellantis, Jaguar Land Rover, Hyundai, and several major Chinese manufacturers. This ensures that our test results are recognised and accepted by OEMs, as well as for homologation and market access worldwide. Our capabilities include:
- Radiated Emissions (RE) and Radiated Immunity (RI)
- Conducted Emissions (CE) and Conducted Immunity (CI)
- Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
- Transient Immunity and Emissions
- Magnetic Field Testing
- Bulk Current Injection (BCI)
Key standards and regulations for EMC testing: UNECE Regulation 10, CISPR 25, ISO 11452 series, ISO 7637 series, ISO 10605 and OEM-specific requirements.
Key Facilities and Equipment:
- Semi-anechoic chambers from 1 to 10 m measurements.
- Reverberation chambers
- Shielded rooms
- State-of-the-art instrumentation for emissions and immunity measurements

Key Facilities and Equipment: Wide range of environmental chambers from small size to walk-in and drive-in chambers, including fast rate climatic chambers.
NVH Testing for Automotive Components
We test your products, components, and assemblies in our vibration and acoustics laboratories to verify their compliance with industry standards for vibration, shock, and acoustic performance. Our services ensure your components meet reliability and durability requirements under real-world mechanical stresses, as well as deliver optimal acoustic quality. Our capabilities include:
- Vibration testing
- Combined vibration, environmental, and acoustic testing
- Mechanical shock testing
- Road spectrum vibration tests (MAST), combinable with walk-in climatic chambers and solar exposure
- Buzz, Squeak, and Rattle (BSR) evaluation
- Acoustic power measurement and characterisation
Key standards for NVH testing: ISO 16750 series, LV 124, IEC 60068 series and OEM-specific standards.
Key facilities and equipment: Our facilities are equipped with multiple electrodynamic shakers (up to 200 kN), including Road Spectrum Simulation (MAST) systems across our global sites. We also feature specialized BSR shakers in silent rooms and anechoic chambers for precise acoustic characterization.
