TÃœV SÃœD Product Service has
invested £400,000 in its West
Midlands laboratories to create a CE
marking and EMC centre of
excellence hub in the region. Based
at Bearley, near Stratford-upon-
Avon, the new laboratories will
deliver EMC and Product Safety
services which will support the CE
marking and certification of
machinery.

The investment has created one of
the largest EMC and safety test
facilities in the region. The 3m semianechoic
EMC chamber has doors
3.5m by 3m high, which will allow
TÃœV SÃœD to test more substantial
industrial equipment.

By combining the upgraded EMC
test chamber with new large
laboratories, tests can be completed
more quickly, delivering machinery
manufacturers a shorter time to
market for new products and
reduced testing costs. Within four
years, TÃœV SÃœD aims to double its
sales revenue and the size of its
workforce of expert engineers.
