EMC test facility helps win MoD business

TRL Compliance has opened a 18 x 14 x 6 metre EMC test chamber in Malvern, helping to win important MoD business and expanding facilities.
Speaking at the official opening of TRL Compliance's massive new 18 x 14 x 6 metre EMC test chamber in Malvern, Sir Michael Spicer, MP for West Worcester and Chairman of the Conservative Party's influential 1922 Committee commented that the new facility would "bring new jobs" and be of great "benefit to high tech business activities" both locally and within the country as a whole.
This is already proving to be an accurate prediction as the specialist UK test and certification company has recently been awarded an EMC enabling contract by the Defence Communication Services Agency (DCSA), the body that is responsible for the delivery of Information and Communication Services (ICS) across the Ministry of Defence.
The opening ceremony was attended by around 40 people working in diverse fields including Mil/Aero, Industrial systems, Vehicles and Public Transport.
Not only is the secure chamber physically huge with a 5m entrance, it also features reinforced flooring to handle loads up to 80 tonnes, the access road to the chamber has also been constructed to carry these heavy loads.
Mark Heaven, TRL's Operations Director commented that "many visitors on the day remarked on the timely opening of the facility as it means that vehicle and large system compliance testing can be achieved without delays, following the closure of two other sites in the UK within the last 18 months." Explains Heaven: "This is an important step for TRL Compliance: we invested the equivalent of £1million in our military test services two years ago, our new Malvern site enables us to test all sorts of large military vehicles and equipment, and we are now listed in the DCSA directory as an approved supplier for EMC services." He concludes: "In the future, we plan to develop the services that we offer at Malvern, including environmental and specialist Tempest testing, continuing the traditions of technical excellence in the area, which has been responsible for the development of Radar systems during World War II and more recently, border patrol imaging systems.".
