When you consider the cost of reports I think the cost goes up from
$4500. Two of the labs I use, cost runs about $5000 for the immunity
testing only plus cost of reports, give or take a few nickels.....

A suite of testing runs about $6000 for immunity for ITE equipment to
meet EN 55 024 without even talking about the Radiated Immunity
requirements equipment and a chamber. You are going to likely have to
do this subset of testing anyway if you want a credible report as
evidence of self-declaration. The costs of emissions and immunity
testing with reports is around $7000 and is a clean approach both
financially and in timeline if you do some chamber tests first for
emissions, say a 2-hour scan in a chamber. Emissions and immunity
testing are somewhat coupled in that a device that is a low radiator is
also likely to have good resistance to susceptibility, but not always.
This is most often true of metal shielded enclosures and those with
shielded I/O cables.
Hi Warren,
I think your test costs seem a little high, I won't say what I charge
for fear of being accused of commercialism. But a number of labs, good
labs, will charge under $4,500 for a full set of tests....
There is a good deal of new equipment coming out from vendors too,
which may mean a flood of used, but still good equipment. E-bay is a
source for this.
Cheers,
