Comprehensive EMC, testing and certification expertise for global markets

Electromagnetic compatibility is a key prerequisite for the safety, reliability and market approval of electrical and electronic products. At the same time, regulatory requirements are increasing due to new radio technologies, networked systems and stricter legal requirements. The increasing integration of wireless interfaces and digital functions, in particular, is leading to greater regulatory convergence between the areas of EMC, functional safety and cybersecurity. TÜV SÜD supports manufacturers in the medical and health, transport, industrial products and consumer products sectors throughout the entire product life cycle, from development and testing to achieving global market access.
"Manufacturers today face the challenge of viewing EMC, product safety and cybersecurity not in isolation, but in an integrated manner. This is exactly where our holistic testing and certification approach comes in," explains Oliver Kibler, Senior Account Manager AEL at TÜV SÜD.

EMC testing in state-of-the-art laboratories and anechoic chambers

With its state-of-the-art EMC and anechoic chambers, TÜV SÜD offers optimal conditions for precise, reproducible and standard-compliant testing. Services include EMC measurements to ensure compliance with the EMC Directive (2014/30/EU), as well as radio and EMF testing, and emission and immunity testing for a wide variety of applications, including medical devices, and industrial equipment to vehicles and electronic components. TÜV SÜD also provides support in the early stages of development, offering pre-compliance testing and development-related consulting to minimise risks and reduce time-to-market.

TÜV SÜD has numerous accreditations and designations, including DAkkS, ZLG, KBA and the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) as a Notified Body. As a Notified Body for relevant European directives and regulations, TÜV SÜD supports manufacturers through formal conformity assessment procedures and issues the necessary certificates for market access. TÜV SÜD thus provides reliable support to manufacturers in conformity assessments and certifications for the European market.

International approvals, cybersecurity and RED requirements

In addition to European requirements, TÜV SÜD also facilitates international market access. International recognitions include the FCC (USA), ISED (Canada) and the VSCC (Taiwan). This provides customers with an integrated testing and certification solution from a single source.

Another focus of the trade fair presentation is on product safety and cybersecurity. Safety requirements are becoming increasingly important, particularly for radio-based and networked products. TÜV SÜD tests products holistically, covering everything from EMC and electrical safety to cybersecurity requirements in accordance with RED and other information security-related specifications. The RED’s delegated acts specify the particular the requirements for network protection, data protection and protection against fraud. Manufacturers must integrate these issues into their development processes at an early stage.

In addition, TÜV SÜD offers internationally recognised programmes and information security services, including CBTL / IECEE and TISAX Level 3, which are particularly suited to safety-critical applications and complex supply chains.

TÜV SÜD technical presentation in the exhibitor forum

On 25 March 2026, TÜV SÜD expert Fabian Schmidt will give a technical presentation on the topic of “Delegated Regulation on RED (Radio Equipment Directive)” in the exhibitor forum at EMV Expo from 12:10 to 12:30. The presentation will highlight the current status of the Delegated Regulation, its impact on manufacturers, and how it is implemented in testing and certification processes.

Personal exchange at the TÜV SÜD stand

Throughout the trade fair, TÜV SÜD experts will be available for personal discussions in Hall 10.2, Stand 232. Visitors will gain practical insights into current standards, regulatory developments, and bespoke testing strategies for safe, efficient and global market access.
