LabTest Certification Inc. (LabTest) provides local and international manufacturers with EMC testing services for EMC Directive compliance, Industry Canada (IC Site Registeration No.: 5970A) and FCC compliance testing services (FCC Site Registeration No.: 552549). Our EMC engineering department provides you with friendly and timely service to meet your market demands. With our GTEM Chamber we are able to provide you with no ambient noise results and compared to OATS, where many times client is left to distinguish between the RF signals generated from their equipment and the surrounding ambience noise.

For specialized and automotive component testing, LabTest is able to conduct radiated immunity testing up to 75 v/m, depending on the physical size of the component under test.

With our 0-600 V, 50/60Hz, 1/3 phase power source, LabTest provides manufacturers of commercial/industrial components and end products a reliable indoor testing facility capable of operating 24/7.
