About
Element's Seattle/Bothell laboratory — formerly part of the Northwest EMC network — is a fully accredited EMC, EMI, wireless, and IoT testing facility located 20 miles northeast of downtown Seattle in Bothell, Washington. The lab is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by A2LA (Lab Code 3310.06) and is FCC-listed (Designation US1296). The facility features a 3-meter semi-anechoic chamber and a dedicated immunity chamber, providing comprehensive radiated and conducted emissions testing, full immunity evaluations, and advanced RF and wireless testing services. The lab is fully accredited for MIL-STD-461 and RTCA DO-160 testing, giving it the ability to serve both commercial and military/aerospace clients from the same location — a capability that supports defense EMC qualification as well as Urgent Operational Requirement (UOR) testing on short timelines. Wireless testing capabilities are extensive, covering Bluetooth, BLE, ZigBee, Wi-Fi (2.4/5/6 GHz), RFID, short-range devices, cellular module integration, and specialized antenna radiation pattern measurements. The lab also supports IoT device testing and certification for global deployment. Certification services span FCC, ISED, MIC (Japan), CE, UKCA, and other international radio approvals. The product scope served at Bothell is broad: medical devices (implantable devices, surgical equipment, infusion pumps, clinical and home healthcare equipment), commercial and industrial electronics (IT equipment, communications equipment, sensors, industrial control systems, smart home devices), household appliances, A/V equipment, vending machines, and laboratory/measurement equipment. Beyond testing, the Bothell team provides advisory services including test plan development, compliance strategy, technical file guidance, and training to help manufacturers navigate domestic and international certification requirements.
