EMC Tests and Environmental Simulation Tests for Medical Devices

On the one hand, the rapid development of products in medical technology facilitates the professional treatment of patients, but on the other hand, it poses a challenge for manufacturers.
Electromagnetic interference is a significant factor that can seriously disrupt function and safety.

EMCC offers services and accredited testing in all areas of EMC for medical technology.

There are numerous absorber rooms available in our EMC laboratory for EMC tests on components. Larger devices can be tested in our large absorber hall. We would also be pleased to perform EMC measurements on your medical device on-site at your premises – worldwide with EMCC on-site testing.

EMC Tests for Medical Devices

Accredited EMC testing services and expert advice in the development phase of medical technology: To ensure the trouble-free functioning of components and systems, our experts support you – if required already during the product development phase – with comprehensive, competent and accredited testing services in all areas of EMC. The focus is on protecting patients and preventing damage to components and systems.
