Automotive electronics EMC component level consulting in Toronto Mission statement EMCLABINFO goal is to promote the EMC compliance testing as solution to prevent the potential impact of product liability applied in cases of design and warning defects. We monitor worldwide developments in the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) field for automotive electronics in the intent to provide a reliable, high-quality service for development, precompliance, compliance, and production testing. We encourage the free exchange of ideas and information as a marketing edge over the competition. We pursue continuous improvement and excellence in our EMC services through customer focus, professionalism, commitment to quality and optimal delivery time in compliance with ISO/IEC 17025. EMC & Electrical testing in Canadian A2LA ISO-17025/AEMCLAP accredited lab: • RF Radiated Emissions (RE CISPR-25) • RF Radiated Immunity (ALSE, TEM) • RF Conducted Emissions (CE-V & CE-I CISPR-25) • RF Conducted Immunity (BCI, ALSE, Reverberation mode tuning) • Conducted Transient Emissions (ISO 7637-1, ISO 7637-2.3) • Conducted Transient Immunity (ISO/DIS 7637-2.3) • Coupled Transient Immunity (Direct Capacitor Coupling) • Magnetic Field Emissions (MFE) • Magnetic Field Immunity (SAE J1113/22 Helmholtz Coil, MIL-STD-461E) • Electrostatic Discharge (ESD up to 30 KV) • Electrical Overstress (ISO, GM, DCX, Ford, Toyota, Nissan pulses) EMC related services: • Design early stage EMC analysis support • Prototype precompliance (near field PCB evaluation, radiated far field vehicle simulation) • Design & production compliance (OEM test methods validation at accredited laboratories) • Proficiency testing and OEM test methods trends analysis support • EMC & Electrical test plan development & review  • Automotive communication bus CAN-B, CAN-C, GMLAN, LIN HW/SW & fiber-optic support • EMC compliant DUT exerciser HW/SW development • Test report review and results mitigation EMC precompliance testing refers to preliminary RF emissions & immunity (radiated and conducted) that evaluates the prototype module with the intent to provide an early indication of whether re-design will be necessary. EMC and Electrical Test method capability per OEM Why testing for EMC? To prevent financial loss from interferences caused by electronic modules with everything that falls under today’s protection regulations. Conformity to essential EMC requirements is mandatory on manufacturer liability statement. Registration not required As ICs become more like entire systems on a chip, they begin to suffer from system-level problems. The susceptibility to and generation of electromagnetic interference is one such problem. With single-chip designs becoming common, product developers are starting to look to chip vendors to solve electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues. To support that effort, a new group of international standards is emerging to define how to measure the EMC of chips. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC; www.iec.ch ) is one of the standards bodies addressing the need for standardized EMC test methods at the IC level. The organization is trying to coordinate with other standards bodies working on the same issue, such as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in the US and the VDE in Germany, to gain consistency for users. The IEC standards being developed break the testing of IC EMC into two areas: RF emissions and RF immunity. The RF emissions standards are the furthest along in development. The IEC has created a working group (SC47A-WG9) under its IC technical committee to create the standards, and the group will have the full standard set for emissions (IEC 61967, "Integrated Circuits—Measurement of electromagnetic emissions).
