About
RINA, headquartered on Via Corsica in Genoa and tracing its origins to the Italian ship classification society founded in 1861, offers an electromagnetic compatibility practice built on around fifty years of EMC expertise and deployed worldwide rather than from a single chamber. Its instrumentation measures from DC to 16 GHz and travels to the asset, which reflects what RINA is actually engaged to do: electromagnetic environmental effects work on installations, platforms and infrastructure that cannot be brought to a laboratory. The scope runs from EMC strategy and consultancy, system validation documentation, EMC hazard identification and risk logs, and EMC evaluation for functional safety, through to field work - electromagnetic site surveys, lightning risk assessment, power quality assessment, earthing system design, radiation hazard and human electromagnetic exposure assessment, and induced and touch voltage assessment. Two capabilities are genuinely uncommon. The first is NATO-recognised electromagnetic security assessment, covering EMSEC and TEMPEST - the discipline of establishing whether classified information can be reconstructed from a system's unintended emissions, which requires national recognition rather than commercial accreditation alone. The second is aircraft high-intensity radiated field testing, including low-level swept current, low-level swept field, and portable and transmitting portable electronic device testing on complete airframes and helicopters. Military and defence work runs to MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464, DEF STAN 59-411 and the NATO E3 standards, and the civil side covers the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 for apparatus and installations. Clients include system integrators, FEED and EPC contractors, government agencies and asset owners across infrastructure, oil and gas, power generation, aerospace, transportation and marine. Specialisations are EMSEC and TEMPEST, aircraft HIRF testing, platform-level E3 engineering, and EMC for large installations and critical infrastructure.
