EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) Testing is a crucial process in the automotive industry. It ensures that electronic and electrical components in vehicles work properly without interfering with each other or other devices. Before these components are used in vehicles, they must pass EMC tests to make sure they don't cause or are affected by electromagnetic interference (EMI). This testing is vital to ensure safety and proper operation.
EMI, or electromagnetic interference, happens when unwanted electromagnetic signals disrupt the function of electronic devices and radio systems. Many countries require new products to meet EMC standards before they can be sold. EMC testing helps prevent these disruptions, identifies any design issues, and ensures the product is ready for the market.
TÜV SÜD offers extensive testing capabilities to ensure your automotive components meet global EMC requirements. Our labs, especially the one in Plymouth, MI, are recognized by major manufacturers like Ford, GM, JLR, and Stellantis, conduct thorough EMC testing. In our New Brighton, MN lab, we can even test entire vehicles using advanced equipment like a dynamometer in a large EMC chamber.
Our global network of testing labs uses the latest methods to support all necessary OEM Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R) requirements. This includes testing for materials, durability, shock and vibration, electrical performance, and EMC performance.
The automotive industry is constantly evolving, and TÜV SÜD keeps pace with these changes. Our EMC lab in Plymouth, Michigan, has undergone significant upgrades to stay at the forefront of testing capabilities.

Our services cover:
TÜV SÜD’s automotive EMC labs are accredited to ISO 17025 and can help ensure your automotive electrical/electronic systems and sub-assemblies comply with global OEM and industry EMC standards.
As automotive systems become more complex with more electronic components, EMC testing becomes even more important. These tests ensure that components don’t emit harmful RF noise or get affected by external energy sources, which could cause unexpected changes in system operation. EMC testing is essential for the safety and reliability of automotive systems.
