EMC
TUV Rheinland UK. provides EMC consultation, testing and certification services to help manufacturers comply with the EMC requirements of the European EMC Directive 89/336/EEC and US FCC requirements.
The EMC Directive, 89/336/EEC, sets the requirements for the control of emissions and immunity that products must meet in order to receive the CE Mark. It covers all electrical and electronic products, in particular household appliances, data-processing equipment, information technology equipment, telecommunications equipment and machinery.
Some products, such as automotive and medical devices, are required to meet the EMC requirements of product-specific directives. In these cases, the EMC requirements specified in each directive take precedence over those stated in the EMC Directive.
These standards may be applied immediately to demonstrate presumption of conformity with the EMC Directive. They must be applied on or before the presumption of conformity cessation dates.
FCC Approval / NVLAP
Our sister company TUV Rheinland of North America EMC and Telecom Division test labs are accredited for specific test methods by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP).
NVLAP accredits qualified laboratories that offer services in the various fields of testing and calibration. This accreditation allows TUV Rheinland of North America to greatly accelerate the FCC approval process in areas of EMC and telecommunications testing by having the ability to self-declare conformity to standards and bypass the FCC's case review process. This can save our information technology equipment (ITE) and telecom clients weeks or months of waiting.
Our UK & Irish partner laboratories are also FCC accredited which allow our client in the UK and Ireland easy access to the services we can offer though our accreditations in the USA.
