UTAC - EMC Testing

About

UTAC has been advancing mobility since 1924 and is one of the principal European vehicle test and type-approval organisations, with sites at Linas-Montlhery and Mortefontaine in France, Millbrook and Leyland in the UK, Ivalo in Finland, Milan, Bucharest, Michigan, California, Shanghai, Seoul, Tokyo and Oued Zem. Its EMC operation is an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory supporting clients from early development through to type-approval testing, on all vehicle types and propulsion systems, led by Alexandre Comte as Head of EMC Testing. The centrepiece is a 10-metre semi-anechoic vehicle chamber fitted with a turntable chassis dynamometer that accepts light, heavy and off-road vehicles - the combination of a 10 m measurement distance with a rolling road is what makes whole-vehicle radiated emissions and immunity work to CISPR 12, ISO 11451 and ECE R10 possible on trucks and agricultural machinery rather than passenger cars alone. Around it sit three further semi-anechoic chambers for equipment-level testing, one of which is a reverberation chamber for high field strength and statistical immunity work, and three dedicated laboratories for electrical testing of vehicles and components covering transient, ESD and supply variation work. A climatic chamber runs from -40 C to +150 C with humidity to 99 % RH, allowing combined environmental and electrical stress. EMC sits inside a much wider vehicle testing portfolio - acoustics, active and passive safety, NCAP, components, durability, emissions and energy, lighting, metrology, powertrain, tyres and cold climate testing - and alongside UTAC's regulatory arm covering homologation, certification, regulatory expertise, vehicle inspection and training, plus digital services in cybersecurity, simulation, connected and autonomous mobility. On-site testing is offered where transporting a vehicle or system is impractical.
