Electromagnetic Compatibility in Railway Vehicles

Electromagnetic compatibility in railway vehicles is critically important for both passenger safety and the proper operation of signalling systems. The tests applied within this scope determine both the electromagnetic interference levels emitted by the vehicle and its resistance to interference from the external environment.

EMC Tests for the Automotive Sector

EMC tests are vital to ensure that electrical and electronic automotive components operate in harmony with other systems. Many components in the vehicle, such as ECUs, sensors, multimedia systems, brake and engine control units, may be negatively affected by electromagnetic influences. These tests are performed to document that systems do not generate electromagnetic interference and can maintain their functionality against external electromagnetic effects.

Automotive Testing and Reporting Process

The testing process is managed by expert engineers in our laboratory starting from the application stage. First, product analyses are carried out, then the appropriate test protocol is determined. During the execution of the tests, full compliance with international standards such as ISO, IEC and CISPR is observed. At the end of the test, a detailed technical report is prepared.

The prepared report provides manufacturers with ease of market entry and also enables official proof of technical competence. Throughout this entire process, we provide a fast, transparent and reliable service together with our support team.
