Regulatory changes and demanding testing procedures put wireless and radio frequency (RF) product manufacturers under pressure to adhere to updated market requirements. In addition to a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, as intentional transmitters, radio equipment, wireless and other RF devices are strictly regulated in most countries and global regions in order to protect the radio spectrum and emergency services.

Our global network of Electrical & Electronic testing laboratories can help you navigate the complex process of complying with radio equipment performance testing, approvals and certification requirements; to ensure your wireless and RF products are compliant, compatible and reliable.

RF Output Power Testing

This testing ensures that the transmission power of the device is within the specified maximum output limit, ensuring that it does not interfere with other wireless systems.

Unwanted Emission Testing

We evaluate spurious emissions outside of communication bands to prevent interference and regulatory violations.

Receiver Spurious Emission Testing 

This testing can evaluate whether unnecessary signals (spurious) generated by the receiver itself do not interfere with external equipment or systems.

ACLR Testing 

We measure the power leaked into adjacent frequency channels to assess whether there is interference with other channels.

Frequency Stability/Error Testing 

We verify that frequency stability is maintained even under changing conditions such as voltage and temperature changes, thereby maintaining communication quality and preventing interference.

Blocking Testing 

We ensure performance even in high interference environments by verifying whether the receiver operates normally when there is a strong signal in a similar band.

Occupied Bandwidth Testing

We check the frequency bandwidth actually used by the transmission signal to verify the efficiency of frequency resources and compliance with the permitted range.

Power Spectral Density Testing 

By measuring the average power per unit frequency, we can evaluate the frequency efficiency and interference potential of continuous transmission signals.

International wireless testing and type approvals

Accredited testing and certification services are available for Radio equipment / wireless technology interfaces (sometimes referred to as intentional radiators) and RF devices. Eurofins E&E laboratories operate as notified and certification bodies under a number of national and international schemes. As such, we can help you gain access to global markets including, but not limited to:

• Europe; Compliance with the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU for CE Marking
• UK; Compliance with the Radio Equipment Regulations 2017 for UKCA Marking
• United State of America; FCC testing and approvals
• Canada; through ISED (formerly Industry Canada) testing and approvals
• Japan; TELEC, Ordinance and ARIB testing and RCB approval according to the Japanese Radio Law at the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC)
• Australia & New Zealand: ACMA Australian Communications and Media Authority (RCM mark)
• Korea; Korea Communications Commission (KCC) approval at the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP)
• Vietnam; MIC
