Management of EMC semi-anechoic facilities by an independent laboratory

In this paper, the management of EMC semi-anechoic facilities is discussed from the perspective of an independent laboratory. Successful management of semi-anechoic facilities by third-party test labs requires a strategy where they become the clear choice by clients over open area test sites. Cost versus performance is the criteria most clients use to select test facilities. To keep pricing competitive, the best match between the test activity and the size of chamber must be made. Automation of the testing process maximizes the benefit of semi-anechoic chambers to the client while enhancing the profitability of the test lab.
