ESD simulators are vital tools in EMC testing, allowing manufacturers to evaluate the immunity of electronic devices against E SD events. Calibration of ESD simulators to BS EN 61000-4-2 and ISO 10605 standards is crucial to ensure accurate and reliable test results. By calibrating the voltage output, waveform parameters, and other test parameters, manufacturers can have confidence in the performance of their ESD simulators and demonstrate compliance with ESD immunity testing standards. Our UKAS accredited on-site calibration service of ESD simulators to BS EN 61000-4-2 and ISO 10605 standards offers several benefits, including:

 

• Reliable Test Results: Calibration ensures that the simulator generates accurate voltage levels and replicates realistic waveforms, leading to reliable and repeatable test results.

 

• Compliance with Standards: Calibration ensures that the ESD simulator meets the requirements specified in the standards, enabling manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with ESD immunity testing standards.

 

• Quality Assurance: Calibration provides confidence in the performance and accuracy of the ESD simulator, ensuring that the testing process is conducted with precision and consistency.

• ​

It is important to note that calibration is not a one-time process. ESD simulators should be regularly calibrated to maintain their accuracy and reliability. Calibration intervals may vary depending on factors such as usage frequency, environmental conditions, and manufacturer recommendations. Regular calibration ensures that the ESD simulator continues to meet the required standards and provides consistent and accurate results over time.

 

In conclusion, ESD simulators play a critical role in EMC testing, specifically in evaluating the immunity of electronic devices against ESD events. Calibration to BS EN 61000-4-2 and ISO 10605 standards ensures that the ESD simulators generate accurate voltage levels, replicate realistic waveforms, and meet the specified test parameters. By calibrating ESD simulators, manufacturers can have confidence in the reliability of their test results, demonstrate compliance with standards, and ensure the quality and performance of their electronic devices in real-world ESD scenarios.
