Electrical EMC Immunity Testing
Testing of electrical components to EMC requirements
The photo above shows a magnetic flow meter being tested whilst an electrostatic discharge (ESD) disturbance is applied, in accordance with NMI-M10.
The AIHTC has the capacity to test electrical components to several immunity standards. These tests are conducted and reported against Australian and/or international Standards. The AIHTC also offers testing of electrical equipment to determine IP ratings, further details on this testing can be found in environmental testing, under sealing.
Most of the testing services offered are covered by the AIHTC's NATA scope of accreditation, click on scope to find current NATA accreditation status.
