Hi I think there is no lab in the US.
You have to carefull which lab you choose. Reason: The labs are accredeted by the national authorities and at this time the national authorities only accept tests form lab they accredited. In practice if you use an accredeted Lab in Germany (e.g) CETECOM ICT Services in Saarbruecken http:www.cetecom.de) you have to use the Kraftfahrt Bundesamt (national authority) for the approval. However the the approval is then valid for Europe.

What I have found so far is, - The directive is 95/54/EC which is an amendment to 72/245/EEC. - The directive is an "old approach" and has all of the necessary test procedures and methods in the directive. - Self declaration is not allowed. You need a "technical service" to approve your unit. - The mark is the "e" mark and not the CE marking. - The effective date is 01 October 2002. - The tests listed in the directive are radiated broadband emissions, radiated narrowband emissions and radiated immunity. The questions I have are. - Is what I have above correct? - How do I get a copy of the directive(s)? - Does anyone have a list of the "technical services", or know where I can get one? - Does anyone have a sample of the "e" mark, or know where I can get one? - Are there any labs in the USA that do this type of testing?
