About

Element's Minneapolis/Brooklyn Park laboratory — formerly Northwest EMC (NWEMC) — is a Center of Excellence for EMC, radio, wireless, and medical device EMC testing, located northwest of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The lab joined Element through the acquisition of Northwest EMC and continues to offer comprehensive commercial EMC testing services from the same location. The facility features a 10-meter semi-anechoic chamber providing zero-ambient-noise emissions testing conditions, two 3-meter chambers for emissions, immunity, and RF evaluations, and an advanced OTA (Over the Air) chamber meeting CTIA requirements with the ability to perform 3-D antenna pattern measurements down to 400 MHz. This combination of chambers makes Brooklyn Park one of the most capable commercial EMC and wireless testing labs in the upper Midwest. The lab's wireless and radio testing services cover a wide range of technologies including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, BLE, Zigbee, RFID, cellular module integration, short-range devices, and ultra-wideband. Additional RF services include regulatory compliance testing, RF exposure and SAR assessments, and wireless coexistence testing. Certification support spans FCC, ISED, MIC (Japan), CE, UKCA, and RED, giving manufacturers a single point of contact for global market access. Medical device EMC testing is a particular strength, with the lab supporting electronic medical device manufacturers from the design conception stage through final certification, performing testing to IEC 60601-1-2 requirements. The facility also provides EMC testing and certification for consumer electronics, IoT devices, industrial equipment, household appliances, and laboratory/measurement equipment to standards including IEC 61326. Staffed by experienced EMC and wireless test engineers, the Brooklyn Park lab complements Element's nearby Bloomington facility, which handles the military and aerospace EMC workload for the Twin Cities region.
