Electromagnetic Compatibility
EMC & EMI
QAI EMC is your one-stop regulatory compliance partner for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Products are tested to the latest and applicable EMC/EMI requirements for domestic and international markets. QAI EMC goes above and beyond being a testing facility—we are your regulatory compliance partner. QAI EMC has the capability to perform RF Emissions and Immunity for all types of electronics manufacturing including Industrial, Scientific, Medical, Information Technology, Telecom, Wireless, Automotive, Marine and Avionics.
EMC Services
RF Emissions Pre-Scans. Pre-scans are performed in our 3 meter Semi-Anechoic Chamber. There are many advantages for testing in Semi-Anechoic Chambers, including no ambient RF signals, accurate data, repeatable results and controlled environmental conditions. For R&D purposes, performing pre-scans in a semi-anechoic chamber is the preferred method by most design engineers. RF Emissions Final Testing. Final 3 meter and 10 meter RF emissions testing is completed at our state of the art 10 meter Open Area Test Site (OATS) located at Silver Valley Road in the UBC Malcolm Knapp Research Forest. The OATS is a partially enclosed 3 and 10 meter site. The central enclosure is constructed from Sintra plastic with nylon fasteners. The Semi-Anechoic Chamber (SAC) is a fully enclosed and shielded chamber constructed by ETS Lindgren. Final 3 meter measurements from 9 kHz to 40GHz can be performed in the SAC which meets NSA requirements for ANSI 63.4 and 63.7 from 30 MHz to 1 GHz and CISPR Site VSWR requirements up to 18 GHz.
QAI EMC Accreditations
We are recognized by major accreditation bodies for EMC and EMI testing. QAI EMC is IEC/ ISO 17025 accredited by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). When you get your wireless or non-wireless products tested with us, global acceptance is within your reach.
Beyond EMC
In addition to EMC testing, QAI also offers electrical safety testing, electrical special inspections, field evaluation and hazardous location electrical safety inspections.
