Testing program and reports

Testing program (test-plan)

Testing program contains all the procedures necessary to meet requirements of the standards for the equipment. Testing program includes all the data about the object tested and also the criteria and corresponding operating modes during the test. As a rule, testing program contains 10-15 testing parameters, its volume shouldn’t be more than 30 pages. Testing Center Omega offers to draw up all the necessary documents in cooperation with you.

Test report

All the EMC tests performed are described in the test report with photos and necessary data included. Test report is the key document to demonstrate the product conformity to the EMC requirements.

EMC testing for military equipment

Accomplishment of the requirements to military equipment

Testing Center Omega has accreditation for performing EMC tests for military equipment including MIL-STD 461F. There are increased requirements for testing of defence products, so that it can withstand severe loads under the real conditions. Test report is the key document to demonstrate the product conformity to all these requirements.

Specialized testing equipment

The standard requirements for defence products are wide. They involve all the environment conditions, such as electromagnetic environment, temperature, vibration, shock, moisture and other. They contain requirements for testing resistance to electrical discharge, transients from lightning, pulsed and continuous electromagnetic fields, etc.

The product test requires special testing equipment. Duration of EMC test parameters can be from several days to several weeks. The degree of hardness tests (exposure levels) depends on the class of equipment.
