AMS Corporation is an A2LA-accredited (ISO/IEC 17025, Certificate No. 3483.01) nuclear industry EMC testing and instrumentation and control (I&C) testing organization headquartered at 9119 Cross Park Drive in Knoxville, Tennessee. Founded in 1977 as a spinoff of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the University of Tennessee, AMS operates a 100,000+ sq ft technology campus staffed by approximately 100 engineers and scientists, the majority of whom are iNARTE-certified EMC Engineers and Specialists. The company's quality assurance program complies with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B and 10 CFR Part 21, and is audited by the Nuclear Procurement Issues Corporation (NUPIC) every two to three years. AMS serves nuclear facilities in 26 countries and maintains 24/7 emergency EMC support availability. EMC services center on the qualification and compatibility of digital I&C equipment and wireless technologies in nuclear power plants, where electromagnetic interference with safety-critical systems presents strict regulatory requirements. Laboratory and on-site field EMC qualification testing is performed to NRC Regulatory Guide 1.180 and EPRI TR-102323 using both MIL-STD and IEC methodologies. Specific capabilities include EMC qualification testing of digital I&C equipment, EMI/RFI troubleshooting and problem resolution, EMI/RFI site surveys of plant electromagnetic environments, wireless technology implementation support, EMC design reviews for equipment upgrades, cable testing, and EMC mitigation and redesign support during qualification. The AMS campus includes MIL-STD-461 testing facilities and a state-of-the-art EMC laboratory, and the company also operates temperature sensor response time and precision calibration laboratories, a materials testing laboratory, and environmental chambers supporting nuclear-grade qualification testing.

San Jose, California, United States

Atlas Compliance & Engineering is an A2LA-accredited (ISO/IEC 17025, Certificate No. 1007-01, ILAC MRA) independent EMC testing laboratory located in San Jose, California, operating since 1997 with over 25 years of regulatory compliance testing experience. The lab specializes in EMC testing for North American, European, Japanese, Korean, and other international markets, and positions itself as an off-site regulatory testing department working seamlessly with client teams from early development through production. Emissions testing capabilities include radiated emissions, conducted emissions, harmonic current, voltage flicker, and pre-scan testing. Markets and standards covered include FCC and ISED Canada (North America), CE Mark (European Union), VCCI (Japan), KCC (Korea), BSMI (Taiwan), and C-Tick (Australia and New Zealand). Immunity testing covers ESD (IEC 61000-4-2), radiated RF fields (IEC 61000-4-3), EFT/burst (IEC 61000-4-4), surge (IEC 61000-4-5), conducted RF (IEC 61000-4-6), magnetic field (IEC 61000-4-8), and voltage dips and variations (IEC 61000-4-11), supporting CE Mark under the EMC Directive and KCC marking requirements. Transmitter certification services are offered for wireless devices, and product safety testing and on-site (in situ) testing are also available. The lab is recognized for providing direct technical assistance and troubleshooting guidance when issues arise during testing, a characteristic noted consistently in client testimonials.
