Manufacturers of electrical and electronic components, devices, and equipment for railway technology are obliged to exclude disturbances, unsafe conditions, and damages to devices caused by electromagnetic interference.<\/p>

The proof of Electromagnetic Compatibility is provided through an independent, accredited test. Upon successful testing according to EN 50121-3-2, electrical and electronic parts may be installed in trains. The EN 50121-4 applies accordingly to signal and telecommunication equipment.<\/p>

Our modern EMC laboratory is accredited by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) for such tests.<\/p>

In trains, a variety of electrical components come together. This includes both the components of the train, the track, and the so-called Passenger Carried Devices, and their interaction must be considered.<\/p>

For smooth operation, it is necessary to ensure Electromagnetic Compatibility in the interaction of the different components. This is also required by the legislator in the EN 50121-X series of standards for railway applications.<\/p>

Additionally, if your product is used in Germany, compliance with EMV 06 (Radio Compatibility of Rail Vehicles with Railway Radio Services) may need to be demonstrated.<\/p>

AKUVIB offers you the necessary tests and thus a safe product.<\/p>

The relevant components are tested for emission according to standards EN 61000-6-4 (radiated emission) and EN 50121-X (conducted emission), as well as for immunity according to basic standards EN 61000-4-2 (electrostatic discharge), EN 61000-4-3 (electromagnetic high-frequency fields), EN 61000-4-4 (fast transients\/bursts), EN 61000-4-5 (surges), EN 61000-4-6 (conducted radio-frequency disturbances), and EN 61000-4-11 (voltage dips).<\/p>
