Information Technology Equipment (ITE) EMC Testing

NVLAP-accredited testing for ITE to FCC Part 15B, ICES-003, EN 55032, EN 55035 and all major international equivalents — emissions and immunity at three Southern California locations.

What is Information Technology Equipment?

ITE encompasses equipment that processes, stores, transmits, retrieves, or displays data — including computers, printers, servers, networking equipment, storage devices, and business machines. In the US, ITE must comply with FCC Part 15, Subpart B as an unintentional radiator. In Canada, ICES-003 applies. In the EU, EN 55032 / CISPR 32 governs emissions and EN 55035 governs immunity — both replacing the older EN 55022 and EN 55024 respectively.

🔎 Class A vs Class B: Class B limits are 6–10 dB stricter than Class A and apply to residential/home use. Most consumer products must qualify as Class B. The same classification applies under ICES-003 and EN 55032. See About Generic Standards for context.

ITE Immunity & Generic EMC Standards

For EU CE marking, ITE must meet immunity requirements. Compatible Electronics is accredited for EN 55035 / CISPR 35 and the legacy EN 55024 / CISPR 24 — see CISPR 24 vs CISPR 35 comparison to determine which applies. Individual tests include ESD, Radiated RF, EFT, Surge, and Conducted RF.

Generic EMC standards IEC 61000-6-3 and IEC 61000-6-4 are available for products that reference these instead of product-specific standards. ITE with switch-mode power supplies may also need Harmonic Current Testing under IEC/EN 61000-3-2 Class D.
