On-Site Trials

WEMEC specialises in on-site trials. These trials are a key tool for our client to understand performance before undertaking compliance trials. On-site trials allow the supplier to understand performance and validate design changes efficiently at the supplier’s location without the added cost of test facilities and time.

The following are examples of on-site trials WEMEC offers:

Communications range trials
Radiated / conducted emissions
Conducted susceptibility including transients and electrical testing
Low level swept current and high level bulk current injection (subject to approval of Ofcom test and development license)
Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordinance (HERO) assessments and measurement
Time domain transient emissions
RF Earth Bond measurement
Antenna Radiation Patterns (ARP)
RADHAZ / EMF assessment in accordance with the requirements of Directive 2013/35/EU (formally 2004/40/EC)
Immunity to on-board transmitters
Assessments of inadvertent ignition of flammable atmospheres by radio frequency radiation
Hazard of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO) assessment
Shielding effectiveness measurements

Standards and Legislations

Defence equipment is often required to meet both defence standards and European legislation. With WEMEC’s in-depth knowledge of both sets of requirements, WEMEC can formulate a test plan and gap analysis containing tailored test methods and limits ensuring all requirements are met in the most cost and time efficient way possible.

WEMEC staff are active on a number of Working Groups supporting Defence Standards and acted as the Technical Lead on the latest issue of Def Stan 61-5 Issue 6 (2009) and provided technical expertise during the writing of Def Stan 61-5 Issue 7 (2020).
