Anechoic chambers for UK test laboratories.
EMC, RF and antenna chambers for manufacturers, test houses, universities and research centres across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland: designed, sourced and supplied by TESTUPS and installed on site, with validation support from independent partner laboratories.
Chamber types
Semi-anechoic chambers
Metal ground-plane floor and absorber-lined walls and ceiling, for radiated emissions at 3 m, 5 m or 10 m and for radiated immunity.
Fully anechoic chambers
Absorber on all six surfaces, for radiated immunity, over-the-air and antenna measurements.
Antenna and RF chambers
Far-field and near-field antenna measurement chambers with positioners, for RF and microwave work.
Automotive chambers
CISPR 25 chambers for components and larger chambers for vehicle testing, with turntables and dynamometers.
Shielded rooms
Control rooms, amplifier rooms and rooms for conducted tests, with filtered power and penetration panels.
Pre-compliance rooms
Compact shielded and absorber-lined rooms for development testing before the formal test.
The rules behind EMC testing in Great Britain
This section is general information, not legal advice. Requirements change; check the official texts or the competent authority before you rely on them.
Last reviewed: November 2026.
In Great Britain, the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016 set the essential requirements for electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market; radio equipment falls under the Radio Equipment Regulations 2017. Manufacturers draw up a UK declaration of conformity and apply the UKCA marking or, where the GB rules continue to recognise it, the CE marking; check GOV.UK for the current position. Northern Ireland follows different arrangements.
Designated standards give a presumption of conformity, and most of them are the same EN / CISPR / IEC methods used in Europe, so a chamber built for those methods serves UK and EU testing alike. UKAS is the national accreditation body for laboratories working to ISO/IEC 17025.

Frequently asked questions
Which chamber do I need for UKCA EMC testing?
It depends on the designated standards for your product. Most radiated-emission methods for commercial products use a semi-anechoic chamber at 3 m or 10 m; radiated immunity needs an absorber-lined test area: a semi-anechoic chamber with absorber added on the floor between antenna and product, or a fully anechoic chamber. Tell us your products and standards and we will propose a size.
Do you install in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?
Yes. Installation can be arranged anywhere in the UK, including Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and internationally, subject to export-control rules.
Can you arrange validation of an existing chamber?
Yes. We arrange site validation (for example NSA and site VSWR, field uniformity and shielding effectiveness) with independent partner laboratories, on site.
Do you supply automotive chambers?
Yes: compact CISPR 25 chambers for components and large chambers for vehicle testing, with turntables and dynamometers.
Is TESTUPS a UK approved body or UKAS-accredited laboratory?
No. TESTUPS supplies chambers, test systems and services to laboratories. Conformity assessment is the responsibility of manufacturers and, where required, approved bodies; accreditation is granted by UKAS.
