Hello Folks,

Just got an estimate for the immunity part of the compliance tests at an EMC lab: 21 hours. Ouch! I've never had it that long. Is this normal these days? What's your recent experience? The data:

DUT: Medical equipment, not life-support but cardio-diagnostic stuff. Pre-compliance looked great and I am sure we'll ace usual the radiated and conducted emissions tests.

Included tests would be: AC current harmonics, AC flicker, ESD, radiated immunity, conducted immunity, magnetic immunity, fast transitions, mains port surge, voltage dips and interrupts.

I've never had this stuff take more than a day. That's why I am asking for other opinions.

Sounds like they don't want your business.


Oh, they do. What are the prices/hours like up there in Canada?
