Key facts

Exact Fareham laboratory
The schedule identifies Octagon House, Concorde Way, Segensworth North, Fareham, PO15 5RL as location A.
Separate Fareham site
Unit 10, Concorde Park, Concorde Way, PO15 5FG is listed separately as location G for EMC and radio. Its G-only methods are not assigned to this page.

Testing capabilities

Vibration and mechanical shock

Location A entries cover swept and stepped sine, broadband random and mixed-mode vibration, gravity-machine shock and vibrator-induced shock and bump. The schedule ties achievable severity to the selected machine, load and frequency.

Climatic exposure

Location A entries describe low and high temperature and damp-heat tests. Chamber dimensions and temperature limits differ by apparatus; humidity levels are specified with their corresponding temperature conditions.

EMC, radio and SAR

The A scope includes civil and military or aerospace EMC entries, radio tests and SAR entries. Each requested product, method, frequency and clause must match the assigned schedule row; several radio and SAR rows also name other locations.

Electrical safety

Location A has safety-test entries for audio/video, information and communication technology equipment under specified editions of IEC/EN 62368-1. The schedule lists exclusions, so a full-standard or product-certification claim is not made here.

Equipment and published limits

Published equipment limits and conditions
SpecificationPublished valueConditions
Largest electromagnetic vibrator2 Hz–2 kHz; 147 kN peak sine thrust and 151 kN RMS random thrustThe location-A entry lists ±25 mm displacement and up to 5000 kg payload. Its 70 g acceleration is load and frequency dependent; maxima are not a simultaneous operating point.
High-temperature chamber choices+200°C at 450 × 480 × 650 mm; +100°C at 5.0 × 6.0 × 4.0 mThese are two separate location-A chamber entries. The larger chamber is not stated to reach +200°C.
Low-temperature chamber entryMinimum −65°C; largest chamber 4.9 × 6.0 × 4.0 mThe cited low-temperature entry is assigned to location A. Confirm the exact chamber and usable specimen envelope for the required profile.

Standards and accreditation

ISO/IEC 17025:2017
UKAS schedule 0141, issue 230 dated 9 September 2026, identifies TUV SUD as accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017. The named location A and its detailed entries bound the accreditation stated here.
Method-specific scope
Environmental and EMC standards are listed with specific methods and exclusions. The flexible-scope statement also requires the same measurement principles and the schedule’s parametric boundaries; it does not establish unrestricted testing.

What to confirm with the facility

  • Confirm the exact test method, specimen configuration, acceptance criteria, reporting, availability and quotation directly with the operator.
