Fanshawe College's product testing facility uses leading-edge technologies and equipment to offer prototyping and testing capabilities, helping clients discover problems early in the design cycle to prevent potential field issues. They create realistic, custom test protocols based on the application to better predict product behaviour, and review designs based on test results to offer areas for product improvement. This is an academic/applied research lab — not an accredited commercial EMC certification lab. Its EMC capability is one part of a broader product testing offering that also covers thermal, mechanical, electrical, and environmental testing.
