Pre-compliance · Measure early, release safely

Pre-compliance measurement in our own EMC lab.

Don't wait until test day to know whether the product passes. With measurement throughout development in our fully-anechoic chamber (Harbke site) we find limit-value problems early — and you go into the accredited test with proven margin.

Why measurement throughout development makes the difference.

A one-off final acceptance only shows WHETHER a device passes — not WHY it doesn't. Anyone who measures iteratively in their in-house lab finds causes during the development process, where they can still be fixed cheaply.

01

Measure

Capture emissions & immunity in the real setup.

02

Understand

Signal paths and causes instead of just symptoms.

03

Validate

Verify measures, document margin.

Gain certainty before the expensive test.

Pre-compliance reduces the risk of expensive re-spins and postponed series-production dates — and makes the final approval predictable.

Measuring where the interference arises.

Near-field and spectrum measurements directly on the assembly show which source drives which level — the basis for selecting targeted measures and building up margin.

Frequently asked questions.

What does a pre-compliance measurement cost?
That depends on the product, the regulatory framework and the scope of measurement (emissions/immunity, number of iterations). We estimate the effort transparently after a brief technical introduction — get in touch with us.
Does pre-compliance replace the accredited test?
No. Pre-compliance validates the development; the formal conformity assessment is carried out by an accredited body. The goal is to pass there with margin on the first attempt.
From which project phase does pre-compliance make sense?
As early as possible — ideally already with the first functional prototype. The earlier EMC is taken into account, the cheaper and more effective the measures are.

EMC engineering — not an accredited test

In our test centres we carry out development-accompanying EMC measurements. We measure, analyse anomalies and verify optimisation measures before a formal test is due. Our measurements are not accredited. If your product requires formal proof by an accredited test house, we prepare the external test technically and support you in interpreting the results.

Want to play it safe before approval?

We measure throughout development in our in-house lab and tell you early where margin is lacking.
