Modern railway systems rely on a wide range of electronic and electrical equipment, from control and signaling technology to onboard systems and passenger information devices. To ensure safe and reliable operation in this complex environment, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing is a critical prerequisite. cetecom advanced provides comprehensive EMC testing services specifically tailored to the requirements of railway technology.

Electromagnetic interference can compromise system performance and, in the worst case, affect safety-relevant functions. EMC testing therefore evaluates both aspects of compatibility: limiting electromagnetic emissions that could disturb other equipment, and verifying immunity against external electromagnetic influences. cetecom advanced conducts these tests in accordance with internationally recognized railway standards, including EN 50121-x and EN 50155.

The EN 50121-x series defines EMC requirements for electrical and electronic equipment used in railway environments, covering infrastructure, rolling stock, and associated subsystems. It ensures that different devices can operate simultaneously without causing unacceptable interference. EN 50155, on the other hand, focuses on electronic equipment installed on rolling stock and also takes environmental conditions such as temperature variations, mechanical stress, and vibration into account.

Within its accredited laboratories, cetecom advanced performs a broad range of EMC measurements, including conducted and radiated emission tests as well as immunity assessments against radiated fields and conducted disturbances. Additional evaluations, such as electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing, contribute to a holistic assessment of product robustness under real-world operating conditions.

Test results and reports issued by cetecom advanced are internationally recognized by authorities and certification bodies. Customers are welcome to attend testing activities on site and benefit from direct interaction with experienced EMC specialists in a professional and well-equipped laboratory environment.

With its in-depth expertise and industry-specific testing capabilities, cetecom advanced supports manufacturers and suppliers in achieving EMC compliance for railway products and in efficiently preparing for global market approvals.
