Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of a device to function properly in its electromagnetic environment without causing unacceptable disturbances.
As an accredited EMC test laboratory, we support manufacturers from industry, medical technology, automotive, rail, aviation and defense with EMC tests, EMC measurements and international conformity assessment.
Seibersdorf Laboratories is one of the leading partners for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in German-speaking countries. Thanks to our state-of-the-art infrastructure, decades of experience, and comprehensive range of testing, measurement and engineering services, we help companies launch safe products that reliably meet international requirements.
Our EMC test laboratory specializes in:
With more than 30 years of experience in EMC conformity assessment of electrical and electronic devices and systems, participation in national and international standardization bodies, and management of various projects, we are able to offer professional testing services of the highest quality.
Our team is available to answer any questions you may have regarding your EMC-compliant device and system design — from design to acceptance measurement. We also support you in selecting standards and in interpreting and implementing EMC requirements in tenders and contracts.
We offer flexible test dates, short turnaround times and create test reports that are recognized throughout Europe and internationally. In addition, the EMC test center has been named Category A Technical Service by the KBA since June 2022.
The combination of infrastructure and decades of experience makes EMC Test Center Seibersdorf a strong technical partner for your product development.
With our modern laboratory equipment, we can carry out EMC measurements up to 40 GHz. In addition, we are happy to assist you with troubleshooting and hardening your products and with EMC problems in your development projects.
Our laboratory equipment/infrastructure provides ideal conditions for testing complex EMC requirements:
We have been accredited by the Austrian national accreditation body Akkreditierung Austria since 1995. With the test stations in our accredited EMC test center, we can carry out measurements up to 40 GHz. There are 2 anechoic chambers, a reverberation chamber and a shielded room for wired testing and ESD.
Certifications and approvals
EMC tests follow a clearly structured process — from preparation to carrying out measurements to evaluating the results. We will support you with our technical expertise and modern testing equipment. In this way, we work together to ensure that the measurements are carried out comprehensibly and that you receive a reliable basis for development, evaluation and compliance.
We will work with you to determine which standards and tests are necessary and check any special requirements (e.g., OEM requirements). We coordinate a possible test date.
Definition of the required test environment for the device, including accessories, monitoring equipment, and any necessary technical documentation. (e.g. EMC test plans). Clarification of the
technical feasibility with regard to power supply, size & weight of the test object.
Tests in accordance with standards-compliant test & measurement procedures in anechoic chambers, shielded RF chambers or on test stations.
If limit values are exceeded or immunity requirements are not met, we provide clear information on possible causes and steps to solve them.
Documentation of the results in a clearly structured and internationally recognized test report.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of a device to function properly in its electromagnetic environment without causing unacceptable disturbances. Ensuring EMC is important for the reliable function of electronics and for meeting legal requirements (e.g., CE marking).
The process is typically divided into:
1. Preparation (definition of requirements, standards, test plan, setup & monitoring)
2. Pre-compliance testing
3. Acceptance measurements in the laboratory:
- Interference emission (emission)
- immunity
4. Documentation (test report) & evaluation
The tests usually take place in anechoic chambers or shielded rooms.
The main distinction is made between:
Typical tests include conducted emission, radiated emission, ESD (electrostatic discharge), burst, surge, and RF irradiation.
