Nuclear EMC Testing Services
The implementation of digital control and monitoring systems in nuclear power plants drives EMC requirements for new and replacement equipment to be used in nuclear plants. For the past 20 years, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has been developing test methods to demonstrate compliance with EMC requirements. The methods and limits are called out in EPRI TR-102323. The first issue of this report was released in 1994 and the current revision (Revision 4) was released in 2013. The original report and basis included results from electromagnetic surveys at seven nuclear power plants in the United States.

Medical Device Testing and Evaluation
Medical devices are subject to many regulatory standards from general requirements for basic safety and essential performance (60601-1) with inclusion of several collateral standards dealing with operational characteristics (e.g. 60601-1-2 for EMC; 60601-1-11 for home medical, etc.) and vertical standards dealing with specific aspects of the device (particular standards often referred to as -2 standards). Test and evaluation of the applicable requirements stem from Edition 3 (currently in effect for most regions) with a risk based review to assess applicability of the standard and to identify areas not covered by the standards.

On-Site EMC Testing and Evaluations
There are several reasons to perform product compliance testing at specific location, rather than at a test laboratory. A major reason is that the equipment may be physically too large for a test laboratory. The other reason is that special support equipment or infrastructure is needed to operate the equipment. For example, the electricity supply may have specific voltage or amperage requirements that cannot be accommodated in the laboratory. Other operational needs may include mechanical services such as air-handling, chemical requirements, other support equipment. Other reasons may include security issues or other special access issues relating to sensitive equipment and/or intellectual property.
