Immunity Tests
Electronics Test Centers offer immunity tests according to a wide variety of standards and methodologies for aircraft, agriculture, automotive, communication, and military industries.
Products destined for the European market must comply with European electromagnetic immunity standards. Not yet mandatory in North America, testing is nevertheless advisable to ensure products will operate correctly in hostile and complex electromagnetic environments.
Our experience and wide scope of accreditation is your resource towards bringing your product to market.
