UL Basingstoke EMC, Radio and Electrical-Safety Laboratory

UL International (UK)Basingstoke, Hampshire

UKAS 5772 issue 076, dated 27 August 2026, explicitly assigns location code BSK to UL at Units 1–4 Horizon, Kingsland Business Park, Basingstoke. Its Consumer Medical and Information Technology table lists EMC, radio, SAR/RF exposure, Bluetooth and selected electrical-safety and luminaire methods. Each method keeps its stated product, clause and measurement restrictions; Telford building-envelope and fire-cable methods are separate.

Key facts

Exact Basingstoke allocation
BSK is the schedule’s laboratory code for Units 1–4 Horizon at Basingstoke. TEL is Telford; building-envelope and cable fire testing belong to its separate tables.

Testing capabilities

EMC emissions and immunity

BSK rows include conducted and radiated emissions, harmonics and flicker, electrostatic discharge, radiated RF, burst, conducted RF, surge and voltage-dip/interruption immunity. These are separate product-specific methods with distinct limits and exclusions.

Radio transmitter and receiver testing

The BSK radio table lists timing, power, frequency error/stability, receiver sensitivity, blocking, intermodulation, out-of-band and spurious emissions, plus defined DFS and occupied-bandwidth methods. The named ETSI/FCC/ISED references retain their own product and clause exclusions.

SAR, RF exposure and Bluetooth

The BSK scope separately lists SAR and near-field RF-exposure methods, DASY millimetre-wave power-density measurement, and Bluetooth RF/RF-PHY and protocol/profile methods for specification versions 4.2–5.2. Those entries do not establish all Bluetooth versions or every base-station exposure technique.

Selected electrical safety and luminaires

BSK electrical-safety rows cover selected audio/video/IT equipment, medical electrical equipment, measurement/control/laboratory equipment and luminaires, lamp controlgear and LED modules. Extensive clause and annex exclusions remain part of the listed scope; full-standard conformity is not implied.

Standards and accreditation

UKAS 5772 — ISO/IEC 17025:2017
Issue 076 dated 27 August 2026 allocates the stated methods to BSK. Listed CISPR/IEC 61000, ETSI, Bluetooth, IEC 62368, IEC 60601, IEC 61010 and IEC 60598 references retain their printed editions and exclusions. Flexible scope permits the listed principles and parametric boundaries rather than unrestricted new methods.

What to confirm with the facility

  • Method ranges are not a universal frequency or severity envelope. Conducted-emissions scope excludes the stated grid-connected power-converter cases; listed radiated-emissions methods exclude FFT measurement. Radio entries exclude defined UWB frequencies/access tests and microwave antenna or analogue-link performance measurements.
  • Medical and measurement-equipment safety rows exclude specified water/dust ingress and radiation/other tests. General luminaire scope prints IP 1X–4X only, and emergency luminaires exclude clause 22.17. These restrictions prevent a blanket safety or ingress-protection claim.
  • Confirm the exact product, method clauses, fixture, test conditions, accreditation/report scope, availability and quotation.
