EMC Testing Done Right

Before starting Sunfire Testing, our founding partners worked as designers for a consumer products company. What we found is there is always excess lab capacity, but test labs don't want to advertise this fact in case a full-paying customer walks in their door. By working with us, our partners get to utilize their excess capacity, while still protecting their full pricing potential. You just get the savings!

We will provide all technical consulting to identify the exact compliance testing you require. We will assist in getting your product ready for testing, and compilate all the required documentation. Once one of our partner labs receives your test units, we will work directly with them to ensure a quick testing turnaround and answer any technical questions they may have. Upon completion of testing, we will ensure your certification is timely filed, and all required documentation and reporting is provided to your company.

If at any point, your product does not pass the initial testing, there are no additional fees for subsequent testing of the same product. In our experience, around 50% of products will not pass on the first attempt. You don't need to worry about that, as your testing is a fixed price up until your final reports are issued.

We will provide you with product preparation consulting and guide you through the intake process. However, our project pricing does not include any design work related to preparing your device for testing (ie. firmware updates for testing, schematic generation, design of product manual, label design, etc.). We will provide guidance as to "what" you need to provide to our testing facilities, however you will be responsible for the implementation.

Our inclusive pricing provides for continued re-testing of your original product until it passes. The inclusive pricing does not include EMC design review services. Our compliance engineers can provide general information and guidance, but no additional EMC redesign services or extended consulting are included in the all-inclusive pricing. On a case by case basis, we can provide EMC review and PCB design services at an additional charge.

Prior to any project start, we will execute a mutual NDA that guarantees the protection of your intellectual property. Our FCC certifications are always filed as confidential to ensure none of your IP is available to the general public. If you are filing in other international markets, we can advise on how to best protect your company's IP, and will makes sure your filing is kept confidential.

From the moment we receive your prepared test units and documentation, we should have your initial testing completed within two to three weeks. In some cases, we can get initial test results within ten days of receiving your test unit. For a complete agency submission (provided no additional re-testing is required), the process should take five to six weeks. That timing is in our experience of working with the FCC. Different regulatory agencies may take longer. We can advise you of the projected timeline, if you have a specific body you need to submit too.

Once your project begins, you will be assigned to one of our EMC compliance engineers. You'll have direct access to email and call them throughout the project. We run the compliance process for you, so you can get back to designing products.

Our partner network of certified labs covers the entire global spectrum. We commonly test for all all major markets (USA, EU, Canada, Japan, China). we can conduct testing for other smaller markets as you may need; however, we will need some time to put together a quote as most products are certified to those primary large markets.

Great we are looking forward to working with you! If you click on the "Get Quote" button, you'll be taken to our project intake form. Please fill it out, and we'll be in touch right away with your fixed price quote.
