Intertek Unveils a New 10 Meter EMC Chamber in Boxborough, MA

13 May 2009

Intertek, a global leader testing, inspection and certification, today announce the opening of its new 10 meter EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) chamber in Boxborough, Massachusetts. Intertek is the only independent testing laboratory in New England to offer manufacturers a state-of-the-art, 10m EMC chamber for testing Medical devices, IT and Telecom equipment, Industrial and commercial equipment and more.

The new 10m EMC chamber gives Intertek the ability to provide optimal 10m radiated emissions measurements in an ambient-free environment. This provides manufacturers with maximum accuracy, speed and lab capacity to get products on schedule, tested, and to market faster. Intertek will also offer a 5m EMC chamber optimized for high field strength radiated immunity testing (up to 600V/m), two compact 3m radiated immunity chambers, and capabilities to perform all commercial immunity and emissions tests alongside its existing electrical/electronic product safety testing laboratory.

“Intertek is committed to making investments that help our clients test and certify products faster and more efficiently, and with a greater degree of accuracy,” said Gregg Tiemann, Chief Executive, Intertek’s Commercial and Electrical division. “This new chamber enables clients to achieve 10 meter data without having to pre-scan or negotiate through a sea of ambient signals. The new facility, along with our existing EMC and safety testing capabilities in Boxborough, offer clients a world-class solution for all their testing and certification needs.”

There will be a Grand Opening Reception and Seminar held on Tuesday, June 2nd at 70 Codman Hill Road, Boxborough, MA. Congresswoman Niki Tsongas will speak and cut the ceremonial ribbon.
