Stancer Testing-Lab provides automotive EMC testing for vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers developing products for international markets. We evaluate electromagnetic emissions, RF immunity and electrical disturbances, helping your team plan whole-vehicle testing or component qualification around the required standards and customer specifications. Our laboratory is located in Laval, Quebec.
Our A2LA accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, certificate 7352.01, includes specific automotive methods under CISPR 25, ISO 11452, ISO 11451, ISO 7637, ISO 16750-2 and ECE Regulation 10. We match the test program to your product, required standard edition and customer specification.
Vehicle-level testing evaluates the assembled vehicle with representative electrical systems operating. Emissions measurements investigate interference generated by the vehicle; immunity testing checks its response to external electromagnetic fields while agreed functions are monitored.
Our scope includes CISPR 12, ISO 11451-2 for off-vehicle radiation sources, and ECE Regulation 10 emissions and immunity testing. For UNECE R10 projects, we establish the applicable vehicle or electrical/electronic sub-assembly requirements and the evidence needed for your approval route. Type approval is issued by the relevant approval authority.
Our dome-shaped SAC PLUS semi-anechoic chamber provides usable dimensions of 8.5 × 5 × 6 m, a 2 × 2 m access door and EUT capacity up to 2,000 kg. Exhaust extraction and ventilation support suitable automotive configurations. A fully automated antenna tower and turntable use Rohde & Schwarz ELEKTRA and dedicated control systems.
We review vehicle access, clearances, mass and operating arrangements before booking. Explore our laboratory capabilities and chamber specifications.
Automotive component EMC testing evaluates electrical/electronic sub-assemblies in a representative configuration. Harness routing, grounding, loads, communication interfaces and operating modes can change the result. We plan representative setups for products such as electronic control units, sensors, lighting modules, DC/DC converters and powertrain electronics.
Conducted and radiated emissions measurements assess disturbances that can affect on-board receivers. Our accredited scope covers CISPR 25 clauses 6.3 and 6.4 for conducted emissions and clause 6.5 for radiated emissions. Limits, configurations and customer requirements are agreed before testing.
ISO 11452-2 uses an absorber-lined shielded enclosure (ALSE) to expose the component to radiated RF fields. ISO 11452-4 bulk current injection testing (BCI) couples RF disturbances onto its harness. Functional monitoring identifies responses against the agreed performance criteria.
ISO 7637-2 addresses conducted transient emissions and immunity on supply lines. ISO 7637-3 covers transient immunity on lines other than supply lines. Pulse selection, severity, coupling arrangement and operating state are defined in the test plan.
ISO 16750-2 evaluates electrical load conditions for automotive electrical and electronic equipment. We confirm the applicable supply conditions, selected tests and acceptance criteria for your component. This service concerns the electrical part of ISO 16750.

Review Stancer’s accreditation and scope information. Send your OEM specification or DVP&R so we can confirm the required methods and any additional requirements.
Electric powertrains introduce switching electronics, high-voltage cabling and operating states that need careful test definition. We support programs for EV-related components using the applicable emissions, RF immunity and electrical disturbance methods in our scope.
Our ISO 7637-4 scope specifically covers electrical transient conduction along shielded high-voltage supply lines. We confirm the supply arrangement, harness, fixtures, loads and functional monitoring for the proposed setup.
Laboratory maxima include RF immunity fields up to 200 V/m and EUT supply capability up to 200 A, three-phase, subject to the selected method and configuration. Separate specialist RF measurements extend to 325 GHz; these are not a blanket automotive EMC frequency range. See our automotive radar testing and RF & wireless testing services for related products.
Use our automotive EMC test preparation checklist to organize the samples, harnesses, loads, monitoring equipment and qualification documents before booking.
Include product dimensions and mass; supply voltage and current; connectors and harness details; intended operating modes; firmware version; loads or simulators; monitoring interfaces such as CAN; the required standard or OEM specification; and your schedule. For a vehicle, provide its access dimensions and the intended operating arrangement.
Cost depends on whether the program covers a complete vehicle or a component, the selected standards and customer specifications, test levels, operating modes and setup time. Harnesses, loads, supply arrangements and functional monitoring also affect the work. Send your specification revision, DVP&R and equipment details for a project-specific automotive EMC testing quote. Any troubleshooting and retesting are agreed separately.
Prepare the representative modes required by the agreed standard and customer specification, including the loads, communication activity and functions to be monitored. Identify how each mode is activated, how a functional disturbance is detected and what constitutes acceptable performance. We agree the configurations before testing so emissions and immunity results can be tied to the documented operating state.
Yes. Our scope includes vehicle-related methods and component methods. We confirm the applicable test program and physical setup for your vehicle or electrical/electronic sub-assembly before scheduling.
CISPR 12 addresses vehicle emissions associated with protecting off-board receivers. CISPR 25 addresses disturbances affecting on-board receivers. The appropriate method depends on the product and the specified qualification requirements.
Our scope includes ECE Regulation 10 emissions and immunity testing. We agree the required testing and documentation for your approval project; the relevant approval authority grants type approval.
We review EV component requirements against our accredited methods, including CISPR 25, ISO 11452 and the listed ISO 7637 methods. ISO 7637-4 coverage is specifically for transient conduction along shielded high-voltage supply lines.
Send the exact customer specification and revision, including any ISO 10605 ESD requirements. We confirm availability, test arrangements and accreditation coverage for each requested activity. ISO 10605 is not listed in the A2LA scope used for this page.
The usable chamber dimensions are 8.5 × 5 × 6 m, the door opening is 2 × 2 m and the maximum EUT mass is 2,000 kg. We also check fixtures, measurement clearances and operating arrangements before accepting the setup.
Send your vehicle or component details and the required standards. We will help define the setup, testing sequence and documentation for your program.
