FAQ
How much does EMC directive testing cost?
The EMC testing cost can vary from only a few hundred dollars to several thousand. It comes down to the type of electronic device, its components, and its functionality. However, you can request a free quotation from most testing companies before you commit to a booking.
How long does the process take?
The EMC testing process normally takes between 1 to 2 weeks. Note that most testing companies also provide a time estimation when you request a quotation.
Should we submit a prototype or production run sample for testing?
We generally recommend that you get your electronic product tested before you enter mass production. EMC directive compliance cannot be taken for granted, and it’s not uncommon that design and hardware changes must be implemented before you start production.
