Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Electrical SafetyMedical devices are expected to perform at a certain level in any electromagnetic environment without causing interference to other equipment. LNE can test your devices to ensure conformity to harmonized European or other EMC standards and for voluntary certification.

Our technical team provides assessment of finished products, components and prototypes of medical devices. We also analyze technical files to define tests programs and performance of tests.

Core Capabilities

With its EMC chamber immunity and benches, LNE performs EMC tests according to EN 61000-4-3, with a capability to generate electromagnetic fields from 26 MHz to 3 GHz. Its test cage allows performing tests from 3 to 5 meters away from antenna.

LNE tests all electrical and electronic equipment (plug-in or battery operated), which is liable to generate or be affected by electromagnetic interference, such as:

  • Information technology equipment
  • Laboratory equipment
  • Industrial machinery
  • Electro medical equipment (in the context of Directive 93/42/EEC on medical devices)

LNE is an active member of several EMC standardization committees and Eurolab committees. French accreditation committee COFRAC approved LNE as a Notified Body for the EMC Directive and carries out EMC tests according to EN 60601-1-2.
