RF Compliance Testing

Whether you have installed a pre-approved module or developed a radio solution from scratch, such as using a chipset, Element provides radio frequency regulatory compliance testing services, enabling you to demonstrate that your products use the radio spectrum effectively and comply with country-specific regulatory requirements. 

What is RF compliance testing?

All devices that either use or produce radio frequency signals must comply with set industry standards and regulations for use. Radio frequency (RF) compliance testing verifies that your radio and wireless devices operate within specified RF emission limits to reduce the likelihood of interference with other equipment or communication systems. Compliance with these radio frequency regulations is mandatory for market access in most international markets, including the EU, the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, and the UK. Manufacturers must comply with the specific directives, rules, or standards applicable to the territory in which they want to sell their products. 

Key benefits of RF compliance testing with Element

• Meet regulatory compliance: Our RF compliance testing experts have worked across a broad range of industries, with experience including telecommunications, automotive, medical devices, and consumer electronics. This experience allows us to guide you in achieving compliance, no matter the end application of your device.
• Facilitate market access: By testing with Element, you can obtain the necessary certifications and approvals for both domestic and international market access. By meeting the appropriate regulations and standards we are helping you build a competitive position in the global market.
• Enhance product reliability and safety: RF compliance testing can help you identify and rectify potential weaknesses or points of failure in your devices, allowing you to remedy problems and further enhance operational reliability and safety.
• Regulate spectrum usage and reduce interference: RF compliance testing ensures that your devices operate within set boundaries (the allocated frequency bands), which supports a more regulated spectrum. By doing so it reduces the risk of interference, creating a more harmonious end-use scenario.

Address interference challenges

Interference is a major challenge for those using and receiving data across the radio spectrum. RF testing can check that your device isn’t causing, or subject to, interference. Testing also helps identify and mitigate sources of RF interference that can disrupt connectivity and compromise your device’s performance. This becomes more difficult in environments where multiple electronic devices coexist, as a complex RF spectrum will be created. RF compliance testing with Element will meticulously analyze RF emissions and susceptibility. Compliance testing effectively identifies interference sources, enabling targeted design modifications or shielding measures. Through this process, you can enhance the integrity of your wireless devices, ensuring uninterrupted communication even in challenging RF environments.
