Bharat Test House Pvt Ltd, (BTHPL) has recently announced the setup of an EMI/EMC centre. The testing lab has installed a 3M Semi Anechoic Chamber, the first in the state of Haryana.
“For the first time a Semi Anechoic Chamber for testing of EMI/EMC has been put up in Haryana with a huge investment. There is one government sponsored test chamber at Electronics Regional Test Laboratory in Okhla, New Delhi. What makes this new chamber special is that it is the first private chamber launched in the Northern part of the country and one of its kind for the very first time in the state of Haryana”, said R.K. Anand, Director(Retd), MeitY.
Previously, BTHPL has announced that they were in the advance stage of setting-up a Semi-Anechoic Chamber to meet the growing demand of customers as well as regulatory requirements. The newly installed 3m Semi Anechoic Chamber is a multi-functional EMC test facility for commercial, military and automotive testing.
The following tests are offered as per relevant specifications – Radiated emission, radiated immunity, conducted emission, conducted immunity, ESD, EFT, surge, voltage fluctuation/flicker, voltage surge immunity and voltage dips/interruptions immunity.
Anand further informed that the facility is now open for on-sight as well as in-house testing so that manufacturers of the Northern part of the country can seamlessly reach out to BTHPL for testing their products.
When asked about the current EMI/EMC testing scenario in India, he said, “Designer and manufacturer of electrical and electronics products have a responsibility to ensure these work satisfactorily in an electro- magnetic environment. EMI/EMC tests are required to demonstrate compliance to various products safety and performance standard. Many countries have regulations for product that required EMI/EMC compliance such as the EMC Directive in Europe. Soon these regulation are coming in India. TEC has already issued Directive to this effect.”
