About

Element's Irvine laboratory — formerly Northwest EMC (NWEMC) Irvine — is a comprehensive EMC, wireless, product safety, and certification facility located in the Irvine Health & Science Complex in Orange County, California. The lab is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by A2LA (Lab Code 3310.04) and holds NVLAP accreditation for product safety testing. It also operates as an OSHA-recognized NRTL. The facility's EMC infrastructure features both 10-meter and 3-meter semi-anechoic chambers designed for zero-ambient-noise testing conditions, paired with a full complement of immunity, RF, and wireless coexistence capabilities. The lab's EMC testing scope covers FCC Part 15 and Part 18, CISPR standards, the EN/IEC 61000-4 immunity series, ETSI EN 300/301 series for European radio compliance, automotive EMC (ISO 11452, ISO 7637, CISPR 25), and EU RED directive testing. Wireless and radio services include RF regulatory testing, RF exposure and SAR assessments, OTA antenna performance, and wireless coexistence testing. A particular strength of the Irvine lab is medical device testing. The facility supports a large number of medical device manufacturers in the surrounding area with EMC testing to IEC 60601-1-2, product safety evaluation to IEC 60601-1, software lifecycle assessment, and usability testing. Product safety accreditation also covers IEC 62368-1 for IT/AV equipment, IEC 61010-1 for laboratory and measurement equipment, and UL standards — enabling the lab to function as a single-source provider for both EMC and safety certification under one roof. Additional capabilities include cybersecurity certification, global market access services (CE, UKCA, FCC, ISED, CB Scheme), environmental simulation (thermal cycling, humidity), and vibration and shock testing.
