EMC and telecomms lab makes the grade

TUV Rheinland has received NVLAP accreditation for its EMC and telecomms testing laboratory in Rochester, New York.

TUV Rheinland has received accreditation under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Programme (NVLAP) for its EMC and telecomms testing laboratory in Rochester, New York.

The lab is the only commercial and independent test facility in the area to receive NVLAP accreditation.

Administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, NVLAP confirms that a testing lab and its personnel have the technical qualifications and competency to perform specific EMC and telecommunications tests and/or calibrations.

The accreditation conforms to all requirements of the ISO/IEC17025:2005 standard.

Currently, TUV Rheinland's North American division operates a total of 15 EMC testing laboratories and two EMC mobile lab units throughout the USA.

Through this network of facilities, the company tests local clients' products to assure compliance with various global requirements, including the Federal Communications Commission and the European EMC Directive 2004/108/EC.

TUV Rheinland's Rochester office provides EMC, product safety, industrial machinery, and medical testing and certification services to product manufacturers throughout Northern and Western New York, the Ohio Valley and Pennsylvania.

Other clients come from the information technology, audio/video, home appliance, wireless network, laboratory, mining, military, wireless and telecommunications industries.

The Rochester office opened its doors in June 2007, after signing an agreement with Rochester-based Eastman Kodak Company to become its primary supplier of third-party testing and certification services.

Located in Building 5 of Rochester Technology Park, the facility is equipped with product safety and EMC test equipment, which has been upgraded to meet ever-evolving global standards.
