Intertek Boxborough

About

Intertek's Boxborough, Massachusetts facility is one of the largest laboratories in the company's global network of over 1,000 labs, and serves as a major hub for EMC and electrical product safety testing in North America. Located at 70 Codman Hill Road, the lab offers a broad range of services spanning EMC, product safety, wireless, performance, and environmental testing. The EMC capabilities at Boxborough are extensive. The facility houses a 10-meter fully automated EMC chamber — the only one at an independent test lab in New England — as well as a 5-meter chamber optimized for high-field-strength radiated immunity testing up to 600 V/m, and two compact 3-meter radiated immunity chambers. Testing covers FCC, CISPR, Industry Canada, VCCI, Australia/New Zealand (ACA), Taiwan (BSMI), Russia (GOST-R/EAC), and NEBS standards. The lab is accredited by A2LA and registered with the FCC, Industry Canada, and VCCI. Both 50 Hz and 60 Hz power are available across a range of single-phase and three-phase configurations. A particular strength of the Boxborough lab is medical device testing. It was the first laboratory in North America to receive IECEE accreditation for EMC testing to the IEC 60601-1-2 4th Edition standard, and the first independent lab in North America accredited for end-to-end electrical safety and EMC evaluation of both implantable and non-implantable medical devices. The lab also draws on its experience with military and aerospace testing to MIL-STD-461, which gives it the amplifier equipment needed for the elevated immunity levels required under the latest medical EMC standards. Additional capabilities at the facility include wireless and radio device regulatory testing, environmental simulation (shock up to 30,000g, dust ingress to IEC 60529 and MIL-STD-810), and performance testing to national, international, industry, and retailer specifications.
