Intertek

Intertek's Lexington laboratory is a comprehensive EMC, wireless, NEBS, and telecom testing facility located at 731 Enterprise Drive in Lexington, Kentucky. The lab holds A2LA accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 (Certificate 1926.01, valid through April 2028) and is recognized for FCC testing with maximum frequency capabilities up to 40 GHz. The facility's EMC emissions scope covers radiated and conducted emissions testing to FCC Part 15B and Part 18, CISPR 32, EN 55032, AS/NZS CISPR 11, VCCI, Korean (KS C), and Taiwanese (CNS) standards. Current harmonics and flicker testing extends beyond the standard IEC 61000-3-2 and 3-3 to include the higher-current IEC 61000-3-11 and 3-12 standards — a less common capability that supports testing of larger equipment with higher power draws. The full IEC 61000-4 immunity suite is accredited, including ESD (4-2), radiated RF immunity (4-3), EFT/burst (4-4), surge (4-5), conducted immunity (4-6), power frequency magnetic field (4-8), voltage dips and interruptions (4-11), and close-proximity radiated fields (4-39). The lab also performs wireless coexistence evaluations per IEEE/ANSI C63.27. A major differentiator for the Lexington facility is its extensive NEBS (Network Equipment Building System) testing capability. The lab is accredited for the full GR-1089-CORE electrical protection suite — ESD, EMC emissions and immunity, power cross, lightning, electrical safety, corrosion, bonding and grounding, and DC power port criteria — as well as GR-63-CORE environmental and physical requirements including spatial, temperature/humidity/altitude, flammability, needle flame, earthquake/seismic, equipment handling, airborne contaminants, hygroscopic dust, acoustics, and illumination. Additional Telcordia product testing accreditations cover GR-13-CORE (pedestal terminal closures), GR-487-CORE (electronic equipment cabinets), GR-950-CORE (optical network unit closures), GR-3178-CORE (wireless transceiver facilities), and GR-3108-CORE (outside plant network equipment). Wireless and RF testing supports FCC Parts 15C/E and licensed radio services under Parts 22, 24, 25, 27, 90, 95, 97, and 101, along with ISED Canada RSS standards, ETSI EN 301 489 and 300-series radio standards, Korean KS X standards, and 3GPP/ETSI cellular conformance testing to TS 34.124 (UMTS), TS 36.124 (LTE), TS 38.124 (5G NR), and TS 51.010-1 (GSM). SAR testing is also accredited per IEEE 1528:2013 up to 6 GHz. Product-specific EMC accreditations round out the scope, covering medical devices (IEC 60601-1-2 Ed. 4.0 and 4.1), laboratory equipment (IEC 61326), household appliances (CISPR 14-1/14-2), ITE/telecom (EN 55024), multimedia (CISPR 35), smart grid equipment (IEEE 1613), gas sensors (EN 50270), professional A/V (EN 55103), and generic light and heavy industrial standards (IEC 61000-6-1 through 6-4).
