Measurement & Lab Equipment EMC and Safety Testing Services — IEC 61326 & IEC 61010

Measurement & Lab Equipment Testing

Compatible Electronics provides comprehensive EMC and electrical safety testing for measurement, control, and laboratory equipment. Our NVLAP accredited, ILAC MRA recognized laboratory holds direct accreditation for IEC 61326 (EMC) and IEC 61010 (safety) — including FDA ASCA accreditation — at three Southern California locations.

NVLAP Accredited ILAC MRA Recognized FDA ASCA Accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017

EMC and Safety Compliance for Instruments, Controllers & Lab Equipment

Oscilloscopes, multimeters, PLCs, data acquisition systems, laboratory analyzers, process controllers, industrial sensors, and in vitro diagnostic equipment — if it measures, controls, or operates in a laboratory context, Compatible Electronics has the accreditation to test it. Our NVLAP scope covers IEC 61326-1, IEC 61326-2-1, -2-2, -2-3, and -2-6 for EMC, and IEC 61010-1, -2-010, -2-030, and -2-051 for electrical safety — at all three California locations. ILAC MRA recognition means our test reports are accepted by EU market surveillance authorities, enabling CE marking without overseas retesting.
