EMF Measurements
EMF Measurements ISO 17025 LAB
Sigint Solutions ISO 17025 accredited Radio and EMF measurement laboratory mission is to provide high quality services to the clients and at the same time to support novelty and secure reliable outcomes during experimentation and trial of new methodologies, procedures and technologies.
The EMF measurement studies and services are available to Telecommunication Providers, Authorities, Government departments, Municipalities and Individuals and are associated, but not limited, to the following fields:
​
-
EMF Measurement Studies for the evaluation of electromagnetic radiation from ELF, ULF, VLF and low frequency networks (5Hz-400kHz)
-
EMF Measurement Studies for the evaluation of electromagnetic radiation from radiofrequency and microwave frequency networks (30MHz-3GHz)
Sigint Solutions EMF laboratory has been assessed by the Cyprus Accreditation Body (CYSAB), according to the accreditation criteria for Test and Measurements Laboratories, as defined in the quality standard CYS EN ISO/IEC 17025, and in 2012 received an accreditation to perform EMF Measurement Studies in the frequency range 30MHz - 3GHz.
The laboratory has extended its current accreditation scope for EMF measurement studies in the frequency range 5Hz - 400kHz and received an official accreditation from CYSAB in February 2014. With the completion of the accreditation extension Sigint's EMF laboratory is currently the only accredited EMF measurement laboratory in Cyprus in the frequency range of 5Hz - 400kHz, which covers the EAC transport and distribution network, Electrical and electronic devices etc.
The EMF laboratory is also registered in the Department of Electronic Communication - Ministry of Communications and Works "List of approved organisations" which are accredited to perform EMF measurements.
