As electric vehicles (EVs) incorporate higher-power electronics, advanced driver-assistance systems, and multiple wireless communication interfaces, the electromagnetic environment within vehicles and test facilities is becoming increasingly complex.
As a result, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) certification has become a critical requirement for automotive electronics and EV component suppliers targeting global markets.
Regulatory requirements enforced by authorities such as the FCC (United States), ETSI (Europe), and KC (Korea) continue to tighten, placing increased emphasis on test accuracy, reproducibility, and certification efficiency. In this environment, testing cost, throughput, and data reliability have become important technical and commercial considerations.
Against this backdrop, ERETEC INC., a Korean provider of electromagnetic shielding facilities and EMC and antenna test and measurement systems for automotive and EV electronics, is expanding its portfolio of EMC test automation solutions aimed at improving test consistency and reducing reliance on manual, evaluator-dependent procedures.
The company’s approach combines software-based automation with integrated hardware systems to support EMC evaluation across development and certification stages.
ERETEC’s EMC automation portfolio supports both early-stage EV electronics development and formal compliance testing. The company’s near-field scanning systems are intended for use during product development to identify electromagnetic noise sources and coupling paths in EV power electronics, onboard chargers, inverters, and vehicle control modules. These systems support high-resolution, multi-axis scanning across a wide frequency range to enable root-cause analysis before compliance testing begins.
For certification-oriented testing, ERETEC provides automated radiated spurious emission and radiated immunity measurement systems aligned with international regulatory requirements, including FCC and ETSI. These systems support simultaneous polarization measurement, automated antenna positioning, and frequency-based test sequencing to reduce evaluation time and improve measurement reproducibility in EMC chambers.
In automotive and EV component testing, ERETEC also offers an ISO 11452-9-based automation system for portable transmitter testing. The system uses collaborative robots to enable remote operation and synchronized control with test software, supporting consistent test execution and reliable data collection in complex automotive EMC evaluations.
