Meeting Place Map
Abstract:
Operating and maintaining a professional quality EMC testing facility is no simple task. There is a wide range of challenges to address, including maintenance of laboratory
accreditations, keeping up with ever-changing standards in the global marketplace,
acquiring the necessary test & measurement equipment (and keeping it calibrated) and
ensuring that your test engineering staff is capable of properly performing all procedures
and adhering to your documented quality system. Failure to meet these challenges in an
effective and efficient manner carries significant costs and major service quality
implications. This presentation will focus on the keys to effective management of an EMC
testing facility - either a commercial laboratory or an in-house test facility - with an eye
towards changes that may be coming in the not too distant future.
