The 'LACE' Laboratory's work

Identification of the harmonised European
standards applicable for electrical and electronic equipment
and for CE certification
Execution of electromagnetic compatibility tests
The laboratory is fitted with measurement equipment and instrumentation
at the very highest technological level. Immunity and emission
tests are carried out in an Anechoic
Chamber or at a special
site in the open air. In either case, the equipment being
tested is provided with single- or three-phase power supply,
compressed air and water to simulate normal operating conditions.
The highly-qualified laboratory personnel carry out the measurements
and check the conformity to the regulations of the samples
under test .
Technical assistance to resolve any non-conformities discovered
Measurement
work is carried out in full co-operation with the equipment
manufacturers, and can include competent technical assistance
for quick resolution of any non-conformities that might be
discovered.
Test Report
Following the measurement work, the Laboratory issues a clearly-formulated
Test Report (in the lingua requested by the customer) containing
the description of the equipment examined, the list of the
regulations applied, and graphs and tables showing the limits
of acceptability and the values measured. Additionally, in
the case of a successful outcome to the tests, a certificate
of compliance with the regulations in question is provided.

Issue of Certificate or Technical Report
For equipment to which the harmonised regulations are not
applicable, the EMC Directive provides for the preparation
of Technical Construction Documentation which has to contain
a Technical Report or a Certificate issued by a Competent
Body. 'LACE', as a Competent Body, can carry out analysis
of the equipment and issue the Certificate or Technical Report
required for a declaration of conformity to the EMC Directives.
Measurements that can be carried out
'LACE' can carry out emission and immunity
measurements within the following sectors:
- Industrial equipment
- Medical and scientific equipment
- Information technology equipment
- Electrical appliances and electrical equipment for household use
- Illumination equipment and fluorescent lights
