Intertek opens its first EMC lab in India
Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, has announced the launch of its first Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing laboratory in India.
The new facility is Intertek’s fifth Electrical lab in India, and its second in Bengaluru’s Electronic City. Located in the Peenya industrial area, the 11,000 square foot facility is equipped with a three-metre semi-anechoic chamber, which offers EMI /EMC and Wireless Testing up to 6 GHz, and Radiated Spurious Emission (RSE) up to 40 GHz. Through this facility, Intertek is proud to be one of the few accredited EMC labs in India with the capability for Immunity Testing, ranging from harmonic and inter-harmonic immunity to proximity magnetic field immunity.
The lab addresses the surging market need for EMC/EMI testing, driven by government initiatives for electronics self-reliance, growth of the manufacturing sector, and global market standards. It will cater to a wide range of industries, including medical, industrial, household appliances, lighting, multimedia, safety components, measurement, control & laboratory equipment, renewables, and TEC regulated products.
Ajay Kapoor, Regional Managing Director South Asia at Intertek, said: “India is an exciting growth market, and our new lab is a testament to Intertek’s long-term commitment to this country. With capabilities that are among the most advanced in the country, we are equipping manufacturers to meet the highest global standards, right here at home.”
Sunny Rai, President Electrical, Connected World, Transportation Technologies and CEA at Intertek was present for the lab launch and added: “We recently expanded our ETL Certification Programme to electrical components – the fastest path to safety in product development. In India, the Bengaluru EMC lab is the natural next step. For Indian manufacturers, it means a faster, more seamless path from prototype to compliant product – backed by Intertek’s global standards, delivered with local expertise.”
