Willoughby, Ohio, United States

Note: CE Conformity Services is a regulatory consultancy and on-site testing service, not a traditional accredited EMC test laboratory. CE Conformity Services, LLC is a regulatory consulting and conformity assessment firm based in Willoughby, Ohio, with over 62 years of combined staff experience in CE marking and product compliance. The company specializes in helping equipment manufacturers and machine builders place products on the European market and other regulated markets, serving clients throughout the US and internationally. Services are performed at customer sites rather than in a fixed laboratory facility. On-site testing capabilities include electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing and electrical safety and acoustics testing, performed at the customer's location — a model suited to large, fixed, or difficult-to-ship industrial machinery. Regulatory services include CE marking certification, machine risk assessments and safety audits, constructional audits, technical file preparation, Declarations of Conformity drafting, and setup of EU Compiler or Authorized Representative arrangements. Additional certifications supported include Brazil's NR12 machinery safety standard and EAC/GOST for the Eurasian market. The company tracks current EU directives and harmonized standards including the EMC Directive, Machinery Directive, and Low Voltage Directive, and provides guidance on resolving non-compliances identified during testing or audit.

Akron, Ohio, United States+1 location

Ezurio, headquartered in Akron, OH, operates an A2LA-accredited ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 9001-certified EMC compliance testing laboratory in Wisconsin serving electronics manufacturers seeking FCC certification, ISED Canada approval, CE marking, medical device EMC testing, and international regulatory compliance. Because Ezurio manufactures RF wireless modules, its engineers bring deep product-level understanding of wireless device compliance nuances to every test program — a differentiator particularly valuable for customers integrating wireless modules into end products. The laboratory operates on multiple shifts to support faster turnaround and expedited test schedules. EMC testing capabilities include electrically fast transient (EFT) immunity, lightning surge, ESD, magnetic field immunity, radiated and conducted disturbance testing, and voltage fluctuation and short interruption testing. The flexible laboratory features mobile benches, test stations, and equipment configured around the product under test, equipped with both horizontal and vertical ground planes. A dedicated automated 3D antenna measurement chamber supports spherical antenna pattern data collection with full antenna plots and performance summaries for antenna design validation. Medical device EMC testing services cover IEC 60601-1-2, AIM 7351731, and ANSI C63.27 wireless coexistence testing for FDA 510(k) submissions. On-site EMC and RF testing is available for products requiring field-based evaluation. Full-service regulatory project management is offered including requirements analysis, test plan development, failure troubleshooting, international regulatory filing management, certification renewal management, and standards research for the US, Canada, Europe, and other global markets.

Damascus, Maryland, United States+2 locations

F2 Labs is an A2LA-accredited regulatory compliance testing laboratory with over 30 years of experience, operating facilities across Maryland, Ohio, and Indiana. The EMC/EMI testing infrastructure includes a 10-meter anechoic chamber, a 3-meter anechoic chamber, a 10-meter Open Area Test Site (OATS), shielded/screen rooms, and a full suite of emissions, immunity, and radio/wireless testing equipment. EMC capabilities cover FCC Part 15 and Part 18, ISED Canada, CE Mark (EMC Directive 2014/30/EU), Radio Equipment Directive (RED), IEC 60601-1-2 for medical devices, automotive transient pulse immunity, IEEE/ANSI C63.27 wireless coexistence testing, EN/IEC 61000-4-16, AIM 7351731, and EMC site surveys. The lab is also enrolled in the FDA's ASCA program. Product safety testing facilities are accredited and accepted by an OSHA-recognized NRTL, covering UL and CSA standards, CE marking, UKCA, ATEX, Low Voltage Directive, Machinery Directive, hazardous location testing, ingress protection (IEC 60529), NEMA 250, UL 50/50E, IEC 60601-1, and battery testing to UL 4200A. On-site compliance testing is available for large or immovable equipment across all service areas.

Cleveland, Ohio, United States

Note: NASA Glenn's EMI Laboratory is a government in-house test facility supporting NASA's own spaceflight hardware development and qualification. External access may be available to industry, government, and academia through NASA Glenn's facilities use program. The Electromagnetic Interference Laboratory at NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio has verified every piece of flight hardware departing Glenn since its completion in 1995. The facility consists of three shielded rooms, two test chambers, and a control room, all constructed with 26-gauge galvanized steel laminated walls, floors, and ceilings meeting NSA electromagnetic wave attenuation requirements. All electrical power is supplied through filtered AC lines to maintain low ambient electromagnetic field conditions. The large shielded enclosure measures 32' × 24' × 16' with a 10' × 14' door, accommodating large flight hardware assemblies. The small test enclosure measures 12' × 16' × 8'. The large enclosure supports stirred and tuned mode reverberation chamber operation for Statistical Mode Averaged Reverberation testing for both immunity and shielding effectiveness evaluation. Recent upgrades have added anechoic chamber treatment for small payloads and high-frequency test equipment. EMC testing capabilities cover NASA Space Station Program specifications (SSP 30237/SSP 30238) including CE01, CE03, CE07, RE02, AC and DC magnetic field emissions, CS01, CS02, CS06, RS02, and RS03PL, and MIL-STD-461F/G including CE101, CE102, RE101, RE102, CS101, CS114, CS115, CS116, and RS103. Additional services include EMC hardware design support, specification comparisons, design development consultation, prefabrication analysis, shielding effectiveness testing, filtering and grounding evaluation, and on-site testing at customer locations for items too large for the facility. The facility manager is John E. Thomas (216-433-2658).

Do not book “Ohio” as if it were one chamber. A Dayton MIL-STD week and a Cleveland industrial CE file are different purchases.

Industrial, aerospace, and auto

Northeast Ohio still runs a lot of industrial IEC 61000 and FCC work on drives, controls, and appliances. Dayton-area programs ask for MIL-STD-461 and aerospace clauses. Automotive suppliers need CISPR 25 and OEM immunity. Medical and research electronics around Columbus want 60601 or instrument standards. The common fail is still conducted emissions after a power-supply second source.

Choosing an Ohio lab

Name the city and the method in the first sentence. Ask for 17025 scope pages, not a capabilities slide. For military work, confirm amplifier power and chamber lining. For automotive, confirm OEM procedure revisions. Door size matters for industrial cabinets coming off I-71 or I-75.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about EMC testing in Ohio

Which Ohio city should I search first?
Dayton for aerospace/defense, Cleveland/Akron for industrial, Columbus for commercial and medical, Cincinnati if that is your plant. Then read the scopes.
Can Ohio labs run both MIL-STD and FCC?
Some organizations can. Treat them as two scopes. Do not assume a RE102 setup is automatically FCC-listed.
