About
Siemens operates two DAkkS-accredited test centres under its Digital Enterprise Services banner, both accredited to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 and both open to external customers as well as internal product lines. The EMC-Center at Erlangen is organized into a Laboratory division and an Engineering division, the latter unusual in that it takes on field measurement, energy system simulation and on-site troubleshooting at customer installations rather than confining itself to chamber work. Its semi-anechoic chamber covers 150 kHz to 6 GHz for emission measurement with shielded cabins for immunity testing, and test programmes are run against IEC and EN standards, FCC requirements, the Korean KS C series, marine specifications and MIL-STD - a mix that reflects where Siemens equipment is sold. A particular strength is railway work: EMC and electromagnetic field measurement on rolling stock and on trackside and electrification infrastructure, including human exposure assessment. The Type Test Center at Karlsruhe complements this with environmental and mechanical qualification - climatic chambers of 600 to 1,500 litres covering minus 70 to plus 180 degrees Celsius and 10 to 98 per cent relative humidity, vibration to 100 g, shock, noise and drop testing - and carries a dense set of certification approvals: UL, FM, the IECEE CB Scheme, ATEX, IECEx, UKEX, CCC-Ex and marine type approvals, so explosion-protected and harsh-environment equipment can be qualified and certified in one place. Both centres offer test planning, approval consulting and EMC seminars. Specialisations are industrial and process automation equipment, railway vehicles and infrastructure, energy and switchgear systems, and explosion-protected apparatus.
