Austest Laboratories is pleased to announce the construction of a semi anechoic EMC chamber for radiated emissions and immunity testing of electrical and electronic products and components.  The chamber is installed at our Castle Hill NSW facility and is the only CISPR16 compliant chamber in New South Wales capable of:

  • Radiated emissions (AS/NZS, EN & CISPR11 and 22 Class B)

    3 metre emc chamber
    Austest semi anechoic emissions and immunity chamber
  • AS/NZS CISPR13
  • AS/NZS 61000.6.3 (Generic emissions )
  • AS/NZS CISPR14.1
  • FCC Subpart 15B Class A or B
  • Radiated emissions above 1Ghz for the above CISPR standards and
  • Radiated immunity to IEC/EN 61000-4-3

Providing emissions and immunity testing at the same location saves hours of setup, testing and mitigation time.

“This chamber represents a significant investment in the test capabilities of our company and is a tangible sign of support for the Australian Manufacturing Industry ” stated Martin Garwood, Managing Director. “Exporters of medical devices, gaming machines and electronics will benefit from a local lab with more than 15 years experience in EMC testing, with the above mentioned standards, along with IEC/EN 61000-4-13 (Harmonics and interharmonics including mains signalling at a.c. power port, low frequency immunity tests) added to our Castle Hills location scope within ~30 days.”

“We will continue to run our fully accredited Open Area Test Site on the NSW Central Coast for radiated emissions and in particular, some Class A measurements where a 10 metre measurement distance is required.  Our OATS is one of the quietest in the world with low ambient emissions, allowing easy detection of signals from a product as opposed to stray background ambients” said Martin Garwood.

Austest Laboratories is currently accredited for:
