How to find the perfect test chamber without any stress? In this post, we delve into step 2 of our Worry-Free Five-Step Process: detailing a chamber design with Britt Links from our Design Department.
“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.
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.

This chamber, which we built for testing Envirotainer’s containers to protect medicines, is larger than you might think. “The team from Envirotainer, a global leader in temperature-controlled logistics for biopharmaceuticals, approached us in 2022 to build a new ferrite chamber to test these containers for shipping by air, which requires DO-160 compliance,” explains Uliana Trucchi, our Technical Consultant for this project.
Uliana: “I advised making the chamber future-proof and preparing it for the CISPR-16-1-4 and IEC61000-4-3 standards, to enable these containers to comply with the norms of different environments, such as hospitals, etc.”
Linda Wiman, Director of Compliance Verification & Documentation at Envirotainer, worked closely with Uliana on this project and appreciates her proactive advice. Linda: “It’s more efficient to do the extra preparations for CISPR and IEC at once rather than realise we need the Comtest team to return later for an upgrade. In this case, it meant extending the absorber lining, and the Comtest team needed a bit more time to validate the chamber for the additional standards. But thanks to Uliana’s advice, this chamber is prepared for the future, which makes my life easier.”
The chamber is 3.225 m high (which is standard), but it’s 9,150 m long and 6 m wide. The door measures 2.4 x 2.4 m in total. Overall, it’s an excellent example of designing a customised solution together with our client.
Are you an OEM and not fully aware of the alternative standards that may apply to your products in the future, given the rapidly changing world? Do not hesitate to ask one of our Technical Consultants for advice via the contact page on the Comtest Engineering website.
