Find EMC and type test centers

Testing and certification you can trust

EMC testing is essential for products that generate electromagnetic energy. Siemens’ EMC test centers can perform:

• Electromagnetic and radiated emissions testing
• Environmental testing for climatic stress, including heat, cold, humidity and marine
• Environmental testing for mechanical stress, like vibration, shock, noise and pack drop
• Measurement of magnetic and electric fields
• Testing and certification for CE and UL standards
