Measurement, Control and Laboratory Equipment

We have been supporting the Measurement, Control and Laboratory (MCL) Equipment's industry for many years designing and testing their specialist technology for EMC, Electrical Safety and a range of Radio devices.

Measurement, Control and Laboratory Equipment Compliance

Equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use encompasses a vast array of electrical and electronic products ranging from industrial control to those used in specialist laboratory environments. Recent developments in technology and the subsequent miniaturisation have led to the on-going expansion of technologies associated with this type of equipment.

Testing

Eurofins York (formerly York EMC Services) engineers have a great deal of experience in working with equipment of all sizes and our laboratories are specially equipped to be able to accommodate all types of measurement, control and laboratory equipment.

Please refer to our UKAS schedule for full details of specific standards we are accredited to and contact us for a full list of standards we can test to.

In agreement with UKAS, we operate a Flexible Schedule of Accreditation which makes it possible for us to add some standards directly to our UKAS schedule. If the standard you require testing to is not currently on our UKAS schedule, please contact us so that we can assess your requirements.

EMC

Our three UKAS accredited test laboratories No. 1574 offer accredited EMC testing for measurement, control and laboratory equipment to the product specific standards, EN 61326-1 and EN 61326-2-6 (IVD equipment) amongst others for compliance with the EMC Directive, 2014/30/EU.

Electrical Safety

Our accredited Electrical Safety testing for compliance with the Low Voltage Directive, 2014/35/EU, includes assessments to IEC/EN 61010-1, IEC/EN 61010-2-010, IEC/EN 610610-2-101 amongst others.

We also offer CB scheme testing for global market access including the Met Mark for access to North America and Canada.

Radio

We offer radio testing for equipment with embedded wireless technology; whether it be to check pre-tested modules incorporated into your product or full compliance testing.

Advice and guidance

We can advise manufacturers on managing their regulatory risk to ensure that they get their product to market quickly and efficiently, whilst protecting their brand reputation. In particular, we can provide guidance on

• Procurement strategies
• Families of similar products
• Risk assessments
• Technical documentation preparation
• Design
• UK Approved Body/NI Notified Body assessment of EMC Technical Documentation
• On-going compliance

Training

We offer training at various levels, from one-day Essentials courses through to five-day fundamentals helping manufacturers and their supply chains to achieve on-going compliance to a number of CE Marking Directives including the EMC, Low Voltage and Radio Equipment Directives.
