FCC, Industry Canada and CE Mark EMC testing now available on Vancouver Island

Island Labs, Vancouver Island's first and only EMC test facility has officially opened its doors for business. The independent laboratory was conceptualized in response to demand from the local design community for an on island testing solution.

"This is a big step forward for the Vancouver Island tech community. We are excited to be able to offer FCC, Industry Canada and CE Mark testing services to a wide range of industries including consumer, wireless, power, medical, scientific, military, industrial and marine.", said owner, Andy Eadie. "Our customers can save the time and cost of a ferry or flight to the mainland knowing that they are also helping to support the local economy. This is really a win-win for the Island."

Island Labs has been investing in the specialized test equipment required for EMC testing and can now perform radiated and conducted emissions measurements as well as immunity testing to European standards. In addition, Island Labs also offers a comprehensive EMC design review service to maximize the chances of a product passing tests first time around.

Bruce Balston, who has previously worked in 3 of BC's EMC labs has recently joined Island Labs in the capacity of EMC engineer.
