EMC testing, including radio – test plan and quote in 2 working days
You don't need to know the testing standards.
You describe your product, we determine which EMC and radio tests are needed and send you a binding quote with test plan, test lab and date.
Free, no-obligation request · A datasheet is enough to start · For businesses
- 2 working days to your quote after we receive your documents
- Accredited test labs in Germany and Europe
- One quote, one order, one invoice
- 10 years of testing for manufacturers, importers and developers
How it works
1. Submit a request.
Describe your product in a few sentences. A datasheet or photos of the ports help, but are not needed to start.
2. Receive test plan and quote.
We briefly clarify open points with you by email or phone. Within 2 working days of receiving your documents, you receive the test plan with all tests and standards and a quote from testxchange – with test lab and date.
3. Get testing.
You place the order with testxchange and send the samples to the lab. During testing you talk directly to the test engineers. You receive the test report and one invoice from testxchange.
EMC testing for CE marking
We plan and order EMC testing under the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU: emissions and immunity, for devices with mains connection, DC supply or battery.
- Emissions: conducted and radiated, harmonics and flicker
- Immunity: ESD, radiated RF, burst, surge, conducted RF, magnetic field, voltage dips
With a radio module (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa, NFC)?
If the device contains a radio module with an existing approval, we plan the tests under the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU for the complete device: EMC to EN 301 489-1 with the matching part (e.g. EN 301 489-17 for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), the necessary radio measurements, e.g. to EN 300 328, and the RF exposure assessment to EN 62311 or EN 62479.
EMC testing, with or without radio

Which standards apply to my product?
That depends on the product and where it is used. Typical examples:
| Product | Typical standards |
|---|---|
| Household appliances, power tools | EN 55014-1, EN 55014-2, EN 61000-3-2, EN 61000-3-3 |
| IT, multimedia, audio and video | EN 55032, EN 55035, EN 61000-3-2, EN 61000-3-3 |
| Lighting | EN 55015, EN 61547, EN 61000-3-2, EN 61000-3-3 |
| Measurement, control and laboratory equipment | EN 61326-1, EN 55011 |
| Industrial equipment | EN 55011 and immunity to the product standard or EN 61000-6-2 |
| Equipment without its own product standard | EN 61000-6-1 and -6-3 (residential), EN 61000-6-2 and -6-4 (industrial) |
| With Wi-Fi or Bluetooth | EN 301 489-1, EN 301 489-17, EN 300 328, EN 62311 or EN 62479 |
| With short-range radio, e.g. 868 MHz or LoRa | EN 301 489-1, EN 301 489-3, EN 300 220, EN 62479 |
| With cellular module (LTE) | EN 301 489-1, EN 301 489-52 |
For devices with radio, we check which radio measurements are needed on the complete device and what the module's approval already covers.
Already know your standard?
Then it's even faster: name it in your request. In the test plan we state, for each standard, the edition that applies on the date you place your product on the market.
Often combined with EMC testing
Environmental simulation:
Climate, temperature cycling, vibration, shock and salt spray to IEC 60068 or customer specification. More on environmental and climatic tests →
Electrical safety:
Testing under the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU (for radio equipment under the Radio Equipment Directive), e.g. to EN 62368-1, EN 60335-1 or EN 61010-1, including IP rating. More on electrical safety →
On request, we plan both together with your EMC testing – one quote, one order, one invoice.
What you can send us
For an accurate quote, the following help, where available:
- Datasheet or product description
- User manual (a draft is fine)
- Block diagram
- Photos of the device and all ports, rating plate
- For radio: datasheet and approval of the radio module
- Previous test reports, if any
None of this is mandatory. Anything missing we clarify with you in a short call.
Frequently asked questions
How much does EMC testing cost?
That depends on the device: ports, supply, radio, target market. That is why you first receive the test plan from us, together with a quote – with no hidden items.
Do I need to know which standards apply?
No. You describe your product; we determine the standards and tests and justify them in the test plan.
Who does the testing?
An accredited test lab that we select for your testing. The quote names the lab, and during testing you talk directly to the test engineers.
How fast is it?
You receive the quote within 2 working days of receiving your documents. The quote states the test date.
What if my device fails a test?
It happens. The lab shows you where the cause lies; we offer the retest separately.
Which products do you offer this for?
Electrical and electronic devices for the European market whose conformity the manufacturer declares itself. We currently do not offer testing involving a notified body, vehicle type approval (E-mark) or approvals outside Europe.
What is EMC testing?
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing shows two things: that a device does not cause undue interference to other devices (emissions), and that it works as intended when exposed to electromagnetic disturbances from its environment (immunity).
In the EU, the manufacturer must show before CE marking that the device meets the EMC requirements; this is usually done by testing to harmonised standards. Most electrical and electronic devices fall under the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. Radio equipment falls under the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU instead, which includes the EMC requirements. Vehicles and medical devices have their own rules.
Which standards apply depends on the product and where it is used: residential environments have stricter emission limits, industrial environments higher immunity test levels. See the examples above under "Which standards apply to my product?".
