Geneva-headquartered Swiss multi-national SGS said its state-of-the-art automotive testing facility in Pune has received accreditation from the National Accreditation Board for Testing & Calibration Laboratories (NABL) in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017.
Situated in the heart of the automotive manufacturing hub at Chakan in Pune, the facility is one of the largest automotive testing laboratories in India, offering an extensive range of advanced testing services with large capacities.
The tests undertaken here include:
• Complete range of EMI/EMC tests for automotive electronics components and consumer electronics
• Airbag testing with deployment at extreme temperature conditions (-40oC up to 100oC)
• Vibration test undertaken in high-capacity (8 ton) chamber
• EV component test
• Solar simulation test
• Environment simulation test
• Physical, chemical and mechanical tests on auto components
The Chakan facility offers a complete range of EMI/EMC tests for automotive sub-assemblies under a single roof. It is equipped with shielded rooms, anechoic chambers, strip line/TEM cells, pulse generators with highly digitized and automated device under test monitoring using various transceivers, cameras and software.
These advanced equipment enables it to carry out high-precision EMC measurements on traditional automotive electronics, high-voltage e-mobility/electric vehicle (EV) components/systems, two/three-wheeler vehicle testing as well as consumer electronics.
EMI/EMC Testing is widely conducted on electrical and electronic products to ensure that they are disturbance-free and therefore electromagnetically compatible with other E&E equipment in the surrounding environment.
The scope of EMI/EMC tests undertaken at the Chakan test facility include:
Automotive categories:
12V, 24V and 48V electronics sub-assemblies
EV electronics sub-assemblies eg: DC/DC converters, PDUs, Inverters, Battery Management System etc.
