EMC Testing Labs in Saarbrücken – Accredited Facilities

IB-Lenhardt AG / IBL-Lab GmbH

Website →

IB-Lenhardt AG is a German antenna engineering house and global market-access consultancy whose accredited in-house test laboratory, IBL-Lab GmbH, sits at its St. Ingbert headquarters in Saarland. The group pairs antenna design and integration work - the business it was built on - with a full EMC, radio and wireless test capability, so that a module or finished product can be tuned, pre-tested and then formally certified without leaving the building. The laboratory holds DAkkS accreditation to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 under registration D-PL-21375-01-00, with partial scopes -01 through -04 covering EMC emissions and immunity, radio equipment parameters, SAR and specific product families. It operates as EU Notified Body 2784 under the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU, is a recognised FCC Telecommunication Certification Body and ISED Canada Foreign Certification Body, is designated for Japan (MIC Registered Certification Body) and Hong Kong (OFCA), and is a UK Approved Body for the UK Radio Equipment Regulations SI 2017/1206 - which lets a single submission be turned into CE, UKCA, FCC, ISED, MIC and HKTA grants in parallel. The lab is additionally a KBA Technical Service (category A) for automotive radio and EMC approval to UN-ECE R10, and a WPC-authorised Qi Authorised Test Laboratory for wireless power. Capability spans semi-anechoic and fully anechoic chambers, shielded rooms, SAR measurement positioners with phantom sets, antenna measurement and OTA positioners, conducted emissions and immunity benches with LISNs and CDNs, ESD, EFT/burst and surge generators, and harmonics and flicker analysers. Specialisations are antenna and RF module design, IoT, telematics and automotive connectivity, SAR and human-exposure assessment, RFID and NFC, and turnkey worldwide type approval across more than 190 countries.

cetecom advanced GmbH

cetecom advanced operates EMC laboratories at Essen-Kettwig and Saarbruecken, both accredited by DAkkS to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018, with a sister laboratory in the United States carrying A2LA accreditation - so European and North American testing is performed inside the same organisation. Its automotive designations are unusually layered: it is a designated KBA Technical Service operating under the German E1 approval mark for UN-R 10 amendments 05 and 06, an accredited technical service to the Luxembourg authority SNCH under the E13 mark, and a technical service to Ireland's NSAI for eCall and EMC under the relevant EU regulations and UN regulations - meaning a manufacturer can choose which approval authority issues the certificate without changing laboratory. Test programmes run to the Radio Equipment Directive, the EMC Directive, the Machinery Directive and the medical device rules including IEC 60601-1-2 fourth edition, with railway work to EN 50121 and EN 50155 and shielding attenuation measurement to IEEE 299. Market coverage extends to CE, FCC for the United States, ISED for Canada and MIC for Japan. The laboratories are set up for iterative work rather than pass-fail reporting: customers may attend their own tests, an on-site workshop allows device modifications - filters, shielding materials and specialised connectors - to be fitted and retested within the same session, and the company supports development-phase measurement, modification testing and mass-production quality assurance, with on-site measurement available for plant and machinery. Specialisations are automotive EMC and eCall approval, wireless and multi-radio products, medical technology, railway equipment, and machinery and plant engineering.
