EN 55011 Industrial, Scientific and Medical Equipment Emission Testing
The European standard EN 55011 outlines the emission limits for industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) equipment in order to protect the radio spectrum. This regulation is crucial for ensuring that devices like wireless communication modules, RFID systems, and other high-frequency electronic components do not interfere with legitimate radio communications or cause harmful emissions.
The standard covers both electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). It sets limits on the amount of electromagnetic energy that can be emitted by ISM equipment, ensuring compatibility with other devices within a given environment. Compliance is mandatory for manufacturers to ensure their products meet regulatory requirements before going to market.
The testing procedures outlined in EN 55011 are designed to evaluate the emission levels of various components and systems under different conditions. For instance, emissions can vary based on environmental factors such as temperature or humidity, which means that thorough testing is essential for accurate results.
In this context, our laboratory uses state-of-the-art equipment to perform these tests rigorously according to international standards like ISO 17025. Our facilities are equipped with specialized chambers capable of simulating real-world conditions where ISM devices might operate. This ensures that any potential issues can be identified early in the development process, allowing for necessary adjustments before final product release.
The process typically involves placing the device under test (DUT) into a Faraday cage and measuring its emitted signals against predefined thresholds specified by EN 55011. We employ highly sensitive measurement instruments to ensure accurate readings. After analysis, we provide detailed reports outlining compliance status along with recommendations for improvement if necessary.
Our expertise in this area allows us to offer comprehensive support from initial design reviews through final validation testing. By leveraging our deep understanding of both the technical requirements and practical implications, we help clients navigate complex regulatory landscapes confidently.
In summary, EN 55011 is a vital component of ensuring safe and reliable operation of ISM equipment across various sectors, from healthcare to telecommunications. Our commitment to precision, accuracy, and thoroughness makes us the ideal partner for any organization seeking robust emission testing services.

Why Choose This Test
The importance of EN 55011 compliance cannot be overstated, especially when developing or manufacturing ISM equipment intended for use in sensitive environments. Non-compliance can lead to severe consequences including product recalls, legal action, and damage to brand reputation.
Regulatory Compliance: First and foremost, ensuring EN 55011 compliance is mandatory for all manufacturers operating within the European Union. Failure to do so may result in fines or bans on sale of affected products.
Consumer Protection: By adhering to these stringent standards, you help safeguard public health and safety by preventing harmful emissions that could interfere with life-saving medical devices or disrupt emergency services communications.
Better Product Design: The rigorous testing process mandated by EN 55011 forces designers to consider all possible scenarios early in the design phase. This results in more robust products capable of performing consistently under diverse operating conditions.
Potential Cost Savings: Early identification and rectification of issues during development can significantly reduce costs associated with rework or redesign later stages of production.
Innovation: By staying ahead of regulatory requirements, companies demonstrate their commitment to innovation while also fostering a culture of continuous improvement within the organization.
To sum up, investing in EN 55011 compliance not only helps avoid costly penalties but also enhances brand value and fosters trust among consumers. It’s an investment worth considering for any company serious about long-term success in the global market.
