EMC testing on vehicles and large systems
The Emitech Group's very large Faraday cage
EMC, discover our reference infrastructure for your tests under real conditions
The Emitech Group offers a unique infrastructure in France for conducting electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing on large vehicles and equipment. Its very large Faraday cage, located in its Montigny-le-Bretonneux laboratory, meets the most stringent requirements of the automotive, defense, aeronautics, rail, space, and industrial sectors.
With its exceptional capabilities, it guarantees regulatory compliance, qualification according to industry standards, and the expected functioning of systems in their operational electromagnetic environment.
Your challenges, our solutions
Carry out your EMC test campaigns in a suitable environment
- Heavy and bulky equipment under test (EUT).
- Integration of complex or large-scale systems: armoured vehicles, radar, drones, agricultural machinery, aircraft, trains, electronic containers, etc
- Realistic simulation of vehicle operation (thermal, hybrid, electric, hydrogen, etc.) with gas extraction and ventilation.
- Remote monitoring and control (video, all types of networks, pneumatics, hydraulics, etc.) immersive surveillance (Hololens).
Ensuring regulatory compliance and sector qualification
- UN ECE R10 approval, including for hybrid and electric vehicles.
- Qualification according to MIL-STD-461/462, GAM EG13, DEF-STAN, STANAG, RTCA DO-160, etc. standards.
- Compliance with specifications from manufacturers (Renault, Stellantis, etc.) and major integrators (AIRBUS, NEXTER, DASSAULT, etc.).
- CE marking
