About
Intertek's Fridley laboratory is a major EMC, product safety, and certification testing facility located in Fridley, Minnesota, in the Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan area. The lab holds A2LA accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 (Certificate 1427.01, valid through February 2028), is recognized for FCC testing of both unintentional and intentional radiators up to 40 GHz, and is also accredited under the U.S. EPA's ENERGY STAR program for medical imaging equipment energy testing. The facility's EMC emissions scope is extensive, covering radiated and conducted emissions to FCC Part 15B and Part 18, CISPR 11, CISPR 12, CISPR 14-1, CISPR 15, CISPR 22, CISPR 32, and their EN, AS/NZS, Korean (KS C), Taiwanese (CNS), Israeli (SI 961), and South African (SANS) equivalents. Intentional radiator testing covers FCC Part 15C and ISED Canada RSS-210 and RSS-247 (without DFS). Current harmonics and voltage flicker testing to IEC 61000-3-2 and 3-3 is also accredited, along with magnetic emissions testing to IEC 62233 — a less common capability used for assessing human exposure to electromagnetic fields from household appliances. The immunity testing scope goes beyond the standard suite. In addition to the core IEC 61000-4 tests — ESD (4-2), radiated RF (4-3), EFT/burst (4-4), surge (4-5), conducted immunity (4-6), power frequency magnetic field (4-8), and voltage dips and interruptions (4-11) — the Fridley lab is also accredited for pulse magnetic field immunity (4-9), ringwave (4-12), and interharmonics/voltage fluctuations immunity (4-13). These extended immunity capabilities are particularly relevant for industrial and smart grid equipment operating in electrically harsh environments. Product-specific EMC accreditations cover a remarkably broad range: medical devices (IEC 60601-1-2 Editions 2 through 4+Am1, including Japanese JIS and Australian AIM equivalents), laboratory equipment (the complete IEC 61326 series including all safety-related parts 3-1 and 3-2), ITE/telecom (CISPR 24, CISPR 35, EN 55024, EN 55035), lighting (IEC 61547, IEC 62493), household appliances (CISPR 14-2), gas detection equipment (EN 50270), life safety and security systems (EN 50130-4, EN 50131-5-3), generic light and heavy industrial (IEC 61000-6-1 through 6-4), and a comprehensive list of ETSI EN 300/301 radio equipment EMC standards with their Korean equivalents. The product safety side is equally deep. Medical device safety accreditation covers IEC 60601-1 Edition 3.2 and over 40 particular standards in the 60601-2, 80601-2, and ISO 80601-2 series — one of the most comprehensive medical safety scopes of any Intertek facility. Additional safety accreditations cover ITE/audio-visual (IEC 62368-1 Editions 2–4), laboratory equipment (IEC 61010-1 and ten -2 particular standards), household appliances (IEC 60335-1 and thirteen -2 particular standards), and industrial machinery (IEC 60204-1).
