EMC Consulting & TestingEMC Consulting & Testing
Cre8 Associates Limited personnel have been involved in advising and helping customers with problems associated with EMC testing and design for many years. Our approach to the issues of EMC stem from the belief that proper design, manufacturing, evaluation and testing guidelines result in a product that is fit for the environment in which it is operating. This applies from an automotive vehicle through to aerospace and airborne equipment. Often the help that is asked for is during the testing phases were problems have been encountered. Although we can help at this stage this may be very late in a products development cycle and the costs of rectification can therefore be large.
Our consultants have worked on EMC issues in Military, Marine, Railway, Aerospace and Automotive sectors, advising on both development and homologation aspects of EMC. This ranges from the production of EMC Guidelines to submissions of documentation to legislative authorities and foreign establishments. We have written and advised on EMC in the USA, India, Australia, Germany and the UK to name just a few.
