Automotive EMC Testing

Element's comprehensive automotive EMC testing covers all electromagnetic aspects of vehicle performance, from emissions to immunity, helping you identify and resolve interference issues before they affect your product's performance. We conduct specialized testing that replicates real-world conditions to validate that your vehicle's systems can withstand electromagnetic interference while not generating excessive emissions themselves.

Our testing routinely includes:

• Whole vehicle EMC testing
• Electronic Sub-Assemblies (ESAs) testing
• BCI (Bulk Current Injection) Immunity
• Conducted Emissions (CE) and Radiated Emissions (RE)
• RF Radiated Immunity
• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
• Vehicular Transient Testing
• Testing in ALSE (Absorber Lined Shielded Enclosure) environment
• SAE J1113 Series testing
• E-Mark testing

We test complete vehicles and their electronic components, focusing on how they interact electromagnetically within the vehicle environment. Our facilities accommodate commercial, civilian, agricultural, industrial, and military vehicles, with specialized equipment for both whole-vehicle testing and component-level assessment. We validate that all electronic systems operate without interfering with each other, meeting the complex demands of modern vehicle technology.

• Whole vehicles
• Electronic Sub-Assemblies (ESAs)
• Automotive electrical components
• Commercial, civilian, agricultural, industrial, and military vehicles

We simulate real-world electromagnetic scenarios using advanced testing methodologies in controlled environments. Our testing approaches are designed to validate that your products meet international standards while also addressing your specific requirements. As a Technical Service with the Vehicle Certification Agency, we provide comprehensive E-mark certification support, helping you navigate regulatory requirements efficiently and effectively.

• SAE J1113 Series testing
• E-Mark testing procedures
• UNECE R10 testing for E-Mark certification
• Monitoring of statutory vehicle data
• Tailored testing protocols to meet OEM specifications
• Complete assessments for whole vehicles and ESAs

Our state-of-the-art facilities include large vehicle chambers and rolling roads with forced air cooling and exhaust extraction systems that accurately replicate real-world conditions. These specialized testing environments allow us to subject your vehicles and components to precisely controlled electromagnetic conditions, providing reliable data on their performance and compliance with standards.

• Large vehicle chambers for whole-vehicle testing
• Rolling roads with forced air cooling systems
• Exhaust extraction systems
• Specialized monitoring equipment for statutory vehicle data
• ALSE (Absorber Lined Shielded Enclosure) environments

Our advanced automotive EMC testing facilities are strategically located in the US and the UK, providing global market access support with local convenience. Each laboratory is equipped with the specialized infrastructure needed to test vehicles and components to international standards and OEM specifications, ensuring consistent quality regardless of which facility you choose.
