Electromagnetic Compatibility and Radio

Electromagnetic and Radio Compatibility ensures the coexistence of devices. We verify the absence of interference and the efficiency of the wireless spectrum.

In an industrial and civil ecosystem characterized by an increasing density of electronic devices and wireless communication systems, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and radio spectrum management are fundamental requirements for ensuring the coexistence and reliability of technologies. Experimental validation ensures that each device operates correctly in its environment without generating intolerable interference and while maintaining adequate immunity to external disturbances.

INTEK S.p.A., an independent testing and measurement laboratory founded in 1994 in Rezzato (BS), serves as a leading technical center for electromagnetic qualification and validation. Thanks to its ACCREDIA (No. 00855) accreditation and active participation in the technical committees of the CEI (Italian Electrotechnical Committee), INTEK not only applies standards but actively contributes to their evolution. This dual role guarantees our clients a forward-looking perspective on technological challenges and high-level regulatory support for CE marking and access to global markets.

Electromagnetic and Radio Compatibility: Validation and Technological Coexistence

Electromagnetic Expertise

We manage the electromagnetic footprint of devices to ensure their operational reliability:

  • Wireless Coexistence: verification of the absence of interference between equipment and radio modules.

  • RED and EMC Compliance: test reports for Directives 2014/30/EU and 2014/53/EU.

  • Metrological Accuracy: measurements in an anechoic chamber using state-of-the-art EMI receivers.

INTEK’s EMC and Radio Laboratory

INTEK’s EMC and Radio Laboratory is organized into vertical units equipped with dedicated infrastructure to meet the specific needs of each industrial sector.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing

We analyze emission and immunity phenomena to ensure compliance with Directive 2014/30/EU. We have a FAR (SIDT) anechoic chamber for 3-meter measurements and shielded chambers (Siemens + Matsushita) equipped for testing safety components (SIL) and complex industrial equipment.

Technical Focus: Measurement of radiated/conducted emissions and immunity testing against fast transients (ESD, Burst, Surge).
Innovation: Use of EMI receivers with FFT technology for ultra-fast spectral scans and monitoring of optical fiber signals.

Radio Testing and the RED Directive

We support the qualification of Short Range Devices (SRDs), IoT systems, and Wideband equipment in accordance with Directive 2014/53/EU. We verify the efficient use of the radio spectrum and the coexistence of wireless modules integrated into finished products.

Technical Focus: Verification of efficient spectrum usage (EN 300 328, EN 300 220) and coexistence between radio modules.
Innovation: Dynamic analysis of duty cycle and adaptive power for the validation of complex IoT sensors.

  • Precision Temperature Control: Shielded chambers incorporate climate control systems to test the EMC of thermally sensitive devices, such as air conditioners or heat pumps, while maintaining constant environmental parameters.
  • Data Digitization: The use of state-of-the-art EMI receivers and spectrum analyzers ensures full traceability and minimal measurement uncertainty, which is essential for the validation of SIL components.

Industries Served

The integration of EMC and radio expertise allows us to serve highly technologically complex sectors:

  • Industrial & Automation: Control systems and SIL components.
  • Medical Devices: Compliance with EN 60601-1-2 for electromedical environments.
  • Telecommunications & IoT: Validation of connected sensors and network infrastructure.
  • Sustainable Mobility: Testing for EV charging stations and electric vehicle components.

An Integrated Testing System

The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Radio Testing sector is a fundamental part of the validation process. Thanks to the flexible structure of INTEK’s laboratories, these activities can be coordinated with Electrical and Safety Testing as well as Environmental and Mechanical Testing, offering a single technical point of contact for the entire product lifecycle.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing

Why integrate radio testing into the EMC development phase?

Radio modules affect the product’s overall electromagnetic profile. Testing them together allows internal interference to be identified and shielding to be optimized before mass production.

It ensures that the laboratory is qualified to provide data accepted for ministerial approval, a mandatory requirement for the sale of electronic components intended for the automotive market.

Yes. ACCREDIA accreditation, through the ILAC-MRA agreements, ensures the international validity of results, facilitating the technical acceptance of reports in most global markets.
