Draper Facility
VPI Laboratories’ Draper Facility is a state-of-the-art electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test laboratory and is in compliance with all the current national and international requirements and is accredited by the US National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) (Lab Code: 100272) under Electromagnetic Compatibility and Telecommunications.
The facility is one of the nation’s finest Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) test environments and features a compact 3-meter anechoic chamber where automated pre-compliance emissions and radiated susceptibility tests are performed. Our chamber was designed and proctored by Rohde & Schwarz in partnership with AP Americas and offers superb attenuation to ensure repeatable test results. VPI Laboratories chose Teseq (Ametek) for the majority of its test equipment due to their demonstrated expertise in the industry and world-class, state-of-the-art line of EMC testing products. In addition to our precision instrumentation, we also have a dedicated partially screened room for ESD testing.
