“Security will enter a new stage in 2026, but we are prepared.” In a series of five posts, our specialists share trends and developments for 2026. This week, Vincent van de Vrie, from our team of Technical Consultants, highlights the growing demand for higher levels of protection.
Will 2026 finally see the adoption of reverberation testing in the automotive industry? In a series of five posts, our specialists share trends and developments for 2026. This week, Dimitrios Barakos, R&D Engineer at Comtest, explains the delays in 2025.
Our services include maintenance and validated testing. We recommend that both are executed by authorized personnel only. Our expert teams can perform preventive maintenance on RF-shielded doors, mode-stirrer systems, and positioning equipment such as turntables. We also offer validation services to see if your EMC test chamber or RF-shielded room still functions within its intended limits and avoiding unexpected down-time or product recalls at the same time.

A shielded room can perform conducted emission and immunity EMC measurements, eliminating harmful external influences, leading to more accurate and consistent test results. Being a Faraday cage, a shielded room will not only improve test results but will also form an excellent aid in protecting information and essential hardware. Comtest can assist governments, the military, financial institutions, and large corporations in protecting what matters most in critical situations. We offer the highest quality, sensitivity, and security before, during and after working with you.

“Pretesting will become more relevant, especially for electronics.” In a series of five posts, our specialists share trends and developments for 2026. This week, Marc Le Roy, from our team of Technical Consultants, emphasises the benefits of pre-testing for OEMs.
Marc Le Roy: “OEMs are known to struggle with the effects of design iterations on their hardware. They worry about the changes, what they mean for the product’s performance, and how to prevent having to go back to the drawing board if the product fails the final tests. Any extra step in the design stage will cost money and increase the time to market. One of the problems, in my opinion, is a lack of EMC thinking in the development stage.”
How can OEMs efficiently prevent unexpected bugs in their electronics?
Marc Le Roy: “I have long been an advocate for in-house pre-testing and even precertification before going to a certification test house. You don’t have to buy your own chamber to embrace pre-testing; there are alternatives. My advice: start with pre-testing at a pre-compliant lab, such as Raditeq’s Rentalab or KU Leuven Brugge. Get comfortable with this process, and then consider a sustainable, future-proof solution, such as getting your own chamber.”
