Accreditations & Credentials
Cranage EMC and Safety is a UKAS accredited laboratory (No.1833). UKAS is the national accreditation body, appointed by the UK Government, to assess organisations that provide certification, testing and inspection. In short, UKAS check the checkers!
We are proud of our long standing UKAS accreditation as it serves as a reminder that we are continually assessed as technically competent, with accurate, consistent and reliable test methods and results.
We have a comprehensive UKAS scope at Cranage EMC and Safety and this can be seen on our website, or the UKAS website.
If you would like to discuss your UKAS testing requirements, please get in touch with our expert team, who would be happy to talk through your project.

Pre-Compliance Testing
We understand the time and cost of creating a safe product for its intended use and complying with the necessary regulations. Our EMC and safety pre-compliance testing assists in identifying any potential issues early in the design stage, allowing for a more efficient resolution. Pre-compliance testing can help to save money, as modifications can be implemented earlier in the design phase, following prompt testing feedback before full-compliance testing.
It is not unusual for a product to fail initial full-compliance testing, and this can be due to issues such as failing to apply EMC principles in the product design, the use of non-compliant modules, unpredicted interactions among circuit elements, an assumption that the presence of a declaration of conformity on a sub-assembly is enough and not testing the power supply with the full product. Considering and designing for EMC and safety early in the product lifecycle helps to reduce the chances of product malfunction or product recalls.
EMC Pre-compliance testing can be categorised into two main groups: emissions testing and immunity testing. Within each of these, both radiated and conducted tests are carried out.

Light Testing
EMC testing of lighting products is required to show that your product will not affect, or be affected by, other products in the same environment. Cranage can offer testing and certification for all types of lighting products, as per Regional and International requirements. In the UK and Europe, the following regulations and Directives apply to lighting equipment used in the home or commercially, although the European Directives will be updated for UK equivalents:
-CE Marking Directive
-Low Voltage Directive (LVD)
-Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC)
-Electromagnetic Fields Directive (EMF)
-Artificial Optical Radiation Hazard Directive (AOR)
-General Product Safety Directive (GPSD)
-Energy Related Products Directive (ErP)
-Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS)
-Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE)
-Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)
-Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)
-Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Directive
-UK Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations

On-Site Testing
We can offer testing at your premises if your equipment is large or in situ. In-situ EMC tests and measurements are usually undertaken to support a Technical Construction File (TCF) for the tested equipment.
Although it would not be feasible to perform tests in full accordance with the relevant technical standards, Cranage EMC’s testing methodology and procedures have been assessed and approved for product certification. Testing will be performed to simulate actual operating conditions.
It may be necessary to assess more than one mode of operation to maximise emissions or determine worst-case susceptibility.
