Wireless Device Testing and Approvals
Obtaining type approval for wireless devices requires a testing laboratory that is properly equipped, technically experienced and globally connected.
CKC’s full-scan height chambers and Open Area Test sites (OATS) are uniquely equipped to meet the demanding requirements of transmitter testing, providing transmitter performance and electromagnetic compatibility test results for your wireless devices that are both accurate and repeatable.
Our team includes some of the world’s leading transmitter performance/EMC test engineers. With many types of wireless devices, it is important to understand the nuances of how device functionality effects test requirements. Unlike test houses where inexperienced technicians press the start button in completely automated test software, our engineers invest the time to fully understand your device and provide you with accurate test results to the proper test procedures. In this way, you are protected from the unnecessary cost of over-testing and the revenue halting delays of incorrect testing.
Certification schemes in many countries require laboratory accreditation for agency acceptance of the test data. CKC’s laboratory accreditation scope covers transmitter performance/EMC standards for USA, Canada, Europe and International (IEC). As such, the wireless device testing we provide instills confidence in both our customers and the regulatory agencies that certify such devices.
FCC Transmitter Approvals
CKC Laboratories offers FCC Transmitter Approval services for most classifications of commercial wireless devices. We provide the EMC and transmitter performance testing for cellular phones, private radios, PCS devices, wireless audio equipment and others. Once testing is completed, CKC can act as your submittal agent, providing the necessary reports and other documentation to a TCB (such as CKC Certification Services) for FCC certification. Once testing is completed, submission can be made directly to CKC Certification Services, an FCC appointed Telecommunications Certification Body (TCB) for a fast and efficient FCC grant of authorization.
Canada Transmitter Approvals
CKC is accredited to perform Canadian transmitter testing to meet certification requirements for importation for wireless devices. In many cases, requirements such as RSS-210 are identical or significantly overlap with FCC requirements. It is advised that FCC and Canadian testing be done simultaneously to save time and money. CKC can also act as your agency submittal agent to a CB (such as CKC Certification Services), utilizing our years of experience to obtain your Canadian wireless approvals in a timely, cost effective manner.
EU Wireless Certifications
CKC Laboratories has over 15 years experience in providing certification testing for European transmitter requirements. Our EU transmitter certification experience even pre-dates the Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) Directive, when we were the only US laboratory capable of providing final EU certification testing for wireless devices. Currently, our vast experience, internationally recognized accreditation and Notified Body status give manufactures the tools they need to meet the essential requirements of the R&TTE Directive in a timely, efficient and affordable manner.
