FCC Part 18 Industrial, Scientific and Medical Equipment Emissions Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

The FCC Part 18 Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) equipment emissions testing is governed by a set of international and national standards. These standards ensure that ISM equipment operates safely and efficiently without causing electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radiofrequency interference (RFI) to other devices.

Relevant Standards

  • ISO/IEC 17025: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • ASTM F2109: Standard Practice for Testing Equipment for Electromagnetic Compatibility

  • EN 300 489-1: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standard for radio equipment

  • TSE EN 301 489-1: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standard for radio equipment

    • These standards are developed and maintained by organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC).

    Standard Development Organizations

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO): Develops and publishes international standards

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM): Develops and publishes standards for materials, products, and services

  • European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC): Develops and publishes electromagnetic compatibility standards

    • Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve as technology advances, and new requirements are identified. Standards development organizations regularly review and update existing standards to ensure they remain relevant and effective.

    Specific Standard Numbers and Scope

  • ISO/IEC 17025: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

    • Scope: Establishes the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • ASTM F2109: Standard Practice for Testing Equipment for Electromagnetic Compatibility

    • Scope: Provides guidance on testing equipment for electromagnetic compatibility

    Industry-Specific Standards Compliance Requirements

    ISM equipment manufacturers must comply with industry-specific standards, such as those related to medical devices (e.g., IEC 60601-1-2) or industrial equipment (e.g., EN 61000-6-4).

    Standard Requirements and Needs

    The FCC Part 18 ISM equipment emissions testing is required by law and regulation. Non-compliance can result in fines, penalties, and damage to a companys reputation.

    Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting Testing

  • Compliance with regulations: Companies must comply with relevant standards and regulations to avoid legal consequences

  • Product safety and reliability: Testing ensures that products operate safely and efficiently without causing EMI or RFI

  • Quality assurance and quality control: Testing helps companies maintain quality assurance and quality control processes

    • Industries and Sectors Requiring This Testing

    ISM equipment is used in various industries, including:

  • Medical devices (e.g., MRI machines)

  • Industrial equipment (e.g., motor drives)

  • Scientific equipment (e.g., spectrometers)

    • Test Conditions and Methodology

    The FCC Part 18 ISM equipment emissions testing involves the following steps:

    1. Sample preparation: The test sample is prepared according to the relevant standard

    2. Testing: The test sample is placed in a controlled environment, and measurements are taken using specialized equipment

    3. Data analysis: The collected data is analyzed to determine the products electromagnetic compatibility

    Testing Equipment and Instruments Used

  • Spectrum analyzers: Measure the electromagnetic spectrum

  • Signal generators: Generate test signals for measuring EMI and RFI

  • Antennas: Receive and transmit test signals

    • Test Reporting and Documentation

    The FCC Part 18 ISM equipment emissions testing report includes:

  • Test results: The measured values of the products electromagnetic compatibility

  • Conclusion: A summary of the test findings and compliance status

  • Recommendations: Suggestions for improving the products electromagnetic compatibility

    • Why This Test Should Be Performed

    The FCC Part 18 ISM equipment emissions testing is essential for ensuring product safety, quality, and regulatory compliance. Non-compliance can result in significant financial penalties, damage to a companys reputation, and harm to customers.
