Automotive Radar System Compliance

Challenge

A major automotive manufacturer needed to certify their new 77GHz radar system for global markets including FCC, CE, and automotive-specific standards within an aggressive 6-month timeline. The system required validation across multiple frequency bands while maintaining strict automotive EMC requirements.

Solution

We provided comprehensive EMC testing, RF characterization, and automotive functional safety validation using our semi-anechoic chambers and specialized automotive test equipment. Our team worked closely with their engineers to identify and resolve compliance issues early in the development cycle, implementing a parallel testing approach to accelerate certification.

Key Results

Achieved first-pass certification across all global markets (FCC, CE, ISED)
Reduced time-to-market by 3 months through parallel testing approach
Saved approximately $150K in redesign costs through early issue detection
Successfully met all automotive EMC standards (CISPR 25, ISO 11452)
Enabled production launch 2 months ahead of schedule

IoT Medical Device Certification

Challenge

A startup developing a wireless patient monitoring device needed FDA compliance, IEC 60601 medical
safety certification, and FCC approval for their IoT connectivity. Limited budget and tight funding time-
line created additional pressure, requiring a cost-effective yet comprehensive certification strategy.

Solution

We developed a phased testing and certification strategy that prioritized critical-path items. Our team provided design-for-compliance consulting upfront, conducted pre-compliance testing to catch issues early, and managed the entire certification process with FDA, IEC, and FCC simultaneously, optimizing costs while ensuring thorough compliance.

Key Results

Obtained FDA 510(k) clearance and CE marking within 8 months
Achieved IEC 60601 medical electrical safety certification
Successfully passed FCC Part 15 for wireless transmission
Enabled successful Series A funding round with regulatory approvals in place
Reduced certification costs by 35% through strategic planning

Aerospace Avionics System Validation

Challenge

An aerospace manufacturer required DO-160 environmental testing and RTCA DO-178C software validation for their new avionics system. The system needed to operate reliably under extreme conditions including altitude, temperature cycling, and electromagnetic interference, with zero tolerance for failures.

Solution

We conducted comprehensive DO-160 environmental testing including altitude, temperature, humidity, and vibration testing. Our team also performed extensive EMC testing per DO-160 standards and provided documentation support for RTCA DO-178C compliance. We worked closely with the FAA and EASA to ensure all regulatory requirements were met.

Key Results

Successfully completed all DO-160 environmental test categories
Achieved FAA and EASA certification for avionics system
Validated system operation from -55°C to +85°C
Passed all EMI/EMC requirements per DO-160 Section 20-21
Enabled aircraft integration 6 months ahead of schedule

5G Telecom Equipment Global Certification

Challenge

An industrial automation company needed to certify their new IoT gateway for harsh industrial environments. The device required compliance with industrial EMC standards (IEC 61000), safety standards (IEC 61010), and wireless certifications (FCC, CE) while operating in extreme temperature and humidity conditions.

Solution

We developed a comprehensive testing program covering industrial EMC (IEC 61000 series), electrical safety (IEC 61010), and wireless certifications. Our environmental chambers enabled testing under extreme conditions (-40°C to +85°C, 95% RH). We also provided design recommendations to improve robustness and ensure reliable operation in industrial settings.
