Our FAR has been validated and complies with the EN 50147-3 standard. December 2002
New lists of harmonized standards have been published; see CE-SHOP August 2002 - Feb. 2003
Ce-test will participate in the so-called FOR-EMC project. "Forum of laboratories implementing EU electromagnetic compatibility directive" This is a project is being financed by the European commission. Ce-test will cooperate with the University of York, Nemko, Semko and other EC labs in the creation of a workshop and a guidebook upon the application of harmonized standards. These works are meant to instruct colleague laboratories in the New EC member states on how to deal with the EMC directive. The kick off for this project will be on 27-28th of March 2003 in Poland. More info June 2002
Our FAR has arrived. This summer our full anechoic room will be evaluated and calibrated according to EN 50147-3. This allows us for faster and still compliant testing as well as evaluation of passive constructions for EMC properties. The room is a double shielded ( > 100 dB) Lindgren equipped with partial lining , being fully lined at the end of this year. January 2002
Immunity testing to 200 V/m for specific equipment. Our new Kalmus 200 W 200-400 MHz amplifier allows us for immunity testing to much higher levels as required for commercial purposes. As you may know, most immunity problems appear in this frequency range. February 1st 2001
CE-test moves to Rotterdam Our test facilities have moved to Rotterdam. On over 200 m2 we have much more room for test facilities. Our address can be found here
April 8th 2000 New R&TTY (99/5/EC) directive into forceApril 8th 2000 the new R&TTE directive comes into force thereby essentially permitting manufacturers to use the manufacturers declaration for approval, using harmonized standards for Telecom and Radio. Febr 16 2000 Common Modification for EN 61000-3-2 under vote.After numerous discussions about this harmonized standard for harmonic mains current, a new proposal has been made to speed up things. This common modification should come into force before the current version becomes mandatory per 1-1-2001. It deletes the special wave shape requirement, and replaces many definitions. feb 2000 New course schedule released for EMC and LVD.ce-test presents a concise EMC design course in the Dutch language. Find it here (Dutch only). A new list of harmonized standards has been published today in the OJEC, the Official Journal of the European Community (EC). This list of European Standards and it's accompanying dates is mandatory for the application of route 10.1 of the EMC-directive in the assessment of presumption of compliance with the essential requirements of the directive. ce-test became member of NEC/CENELEC/IEC voting committeece-test has become a voting member of the Dutch NEC/CENELEC/IEC EMC-committees.. These committees actually decide upon what EMC standards are to published and finally used for showing compliance. The obvious advantage for our long-term clients is that we can inform them early about the contents of future standards, so as they can anticipate on the required tests and modify much earlier.
