Testing capabilities
Scheduled component EMC emissions
Conducted-emission voltage testing covers 150 kHz–108 MHz and current testing 150 kHz–245 MHz. Radiated electric-field emissions cover 150 kHz–6 GHz. Conducted rows list EN 55025:2022 and CISPR 25:2008/2016/2021. Radiated rows additionally list CISPR 25:1995/2002 and ECE Regulation 10.06 Annexes 7 and 8. HV-AN, AMN, AAN methods and high-voltage systems are excluded.
Scheduled radiated and portable-transmitter immunity
The absorber-lined shielded enclosure row lists 200 MHz–3.1 GHz up to 600 V/m and 3.1 GHz–12.5 GHz up to 400 V/m. Its standards are ISO 11452-2:1995/2004/2019/2005 and ISO 11452-9:2012/2021. HV-AN, AMN, AAN and high-voltage power systems are excluded. These exact scheduled bands remain separate from the owner’s wider advertised radiated and portable-transmitter limits.
Scheduled transient and BCI immunity
Component transients cover 12 V and 24 V under the listed ISO 7637 editions, ISO 16750-2:2012 excluding sections 4.11/4.12, ISO 16750-2:2023 excluding 4.4/4.11/4.12/4.6.1.2 and ECE Regulation 10.06 Annex 10. BCI covers 100 kHz–400 MHz under ISO 11452-4:2001/2005/2011/2020 and ECE Regulation 10.06 Annex 9. BCI excludes TWC, HV-AN, AMN, AAN, AC power measurements and high-voltage power systems.
Scheduled ESD and magnetic-field immunity
ESD under ISO 10605:2001/2008/2023 lists capacitances 150 pF/330 pF, resistances 330 Ω/2 kΩ and up to 25 kV. Confirm the method’s required network combination. Magnetic radiating-loop testing lists DC ≤50 V, 60 A and 26 mT separately from AC 15 Hz–150 kHz and 3000 A/m, under ISO 11452-8:2015 and Def Stan 59-411:DRS01.B.
Equipment and published limits
| Specification | Published value | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Owner-described apparatus | Semi-anechoic chambers, BCI chamber, controlled ESD room and conducted-immunity stations | Explicitly described at the Chelmsford Technical Centre by the owner. These apparatus descriptions do not expand the exact scheduled accreditation or establish unverified machine capacities. |
| Scheduled emissions bands | Conducted voltage 150 kHz–108 MHz, conducted current 150 kHz–245 MHz, radiated 150 kHz–6 GHz | Three distinct method bands in current issue 002. HV-AN, AMN, AAN and high-voltage systems are excluded. A common general emission capacity is not inferred. |
| Scheduled radiated-immunity bands | 200 MHz–3.1 GHz up to 600 V/m, 3.1 GHz–12.5 GHz up to 400 V/m | Exact separate bands in the radiated/portable immunity row. The owner advertises wider limits, which are not substituted for these scheduled accredited conditions. |
| Scheduled transient and BCI conditions | Transients 12 V/24 V, BCI 100 kHz–400 MHz | Separate procedures with exact transient edition/section exclusions and BCI network, TWC, AC-power and high-voltage exclusions. These values do not establish a combined general immunity capacity. |
| Scheduled ESD conditions | C 150 pF/330 pF, R 330 Ω/2 kΩ, up to 25 kV | Published ISO 10605 row conditions, without assuming arbitrary simultaneous network combinations or an apparatus count. |
| Scheduled magnetic conditions | DC ≤50 V/60 A/26 mT, AC 15 Hz–150 kHz/3000 A/m | Distinct DC and AC conditions for the radiating-loop method. They are not combined into a generic magnetic-field capacity. |
Access and contact
Use the owner’s Technical Centre phone +44 1245 377980, info@skyships.co.uk or testing-page contact route. The March 2026 schedule separately lists Adam Dickison, +44 7764 199133 and adam@skyships.co.uk, without independent present-role verification. The owner offers development/validation testing and guidance on test plans, methods and results. Agree the exact ESA component, method edition, accredited bands and exclusions, voltage, network, preparation, monitoring and reporting requirements with the centre.

Standards and accreditation
- UKAS 29498, ISO/IEC 17025:2017
- Current issue 002 dated 30 March 2026 applies at the above/main Chelmsford address only. ESA component modules are included and EV/REESS high-voltage systems excluded. Accreditation applies to the exact scheduled methods and restrictions, without importing mechanical-testing or manufacturing certification.
- Exact emissions and radiated-immunity editions
- EN 55025:2022 applies to both emissions rows. Conducted emissions list CISPR 25:2008/2016/2021, while radiated emissions additionally list 1995/2002 and ECE Regulation 10.06 Annexes 7/8. The radiated/portable row prints ISO 11452-2:1995/2004/2019/2005 and ISO 11452-9:2012/2021, with separate 600 V/m and 400 V/m bands and stated exclusions.
- Exact transient and BCI editions
- Transient rows list ISO 7637-0:1990, -1:1990/2002+A:2008/2015, -2:1990/2004+A:2008/2011 and -3:2007/2016. ISO 16750-2:2012 excludes 4.11/4.12 and the 2023 edition excludes 4.4/4.11/4.12/4.6.1.2. ECE Regulation 10.06 Annex 10 applies to transients. BCI lists ISO 11452-4:2001/2005/2011/2020 and Annex 9, with its TWC/network/AC-power/high-voltage restrictions.
- ESD, magnetic methods and general principles
- ESD lists ISO 10605:2001/2008/2023 with the stated capacitances, resistances and 25 kV limit. Magnetic radiating-loop conditions list ISO 11452-8:2015 and Def Stan 59-411:DRS01.B, keeping DC and AC separate. ISO 11452-1:1995/2005/2015 is listed for general principles and terminology, without creating a separate physical-test capability.
What to confirm with the facility
- Confirm the exact ESA component, voltage, method edition and exclusions. EV/REESS high-voltage systems are excluded, and relevant rows exclude specified artificial networks or power measurements. The ISO 16750-2 editions have different excluded sections.
- Confirm the intended radiated or portable-transmitter test against the exact schedule. Its 600 V/m and 400 V/m bands are separate, and the owner’s wider advertised limits do not establish the same accredited coverage.
- Confirm the ESD network combination and separate DC/AC magnetic conditions. Published method values and apparatus descriptions do not establish an arbitrary combined range, general mechanical testing or unverified equipment capacity.
- Provide component dimensions, mounting, power and operating modes, required methods and editions, monitoring and acceptance criteria, reporting needs and preferred dates. Agree access, sample delivery, programme and costs with the centre.

Reviewed by Arc on 1 October 2026 in Europe/London using five fresh official owner and UKAS captures. Current UKAS 29498 issue 002 dated 30 March 2026 was downloaded and both complete PDF pages visually inspected. The current register and owner testing/contact pages identify the Chelmsford Technical Centre, with owner-local 01245 377980/info separate from the Head Office/Factory number. March 2026 schedule-listed Adam Dickison/mobile/email are dated details without a present-role claim. Four EMC groups retain exact conducted voltage/current bands, separate radiated-immunity field-strength bands, transient edition/section exclusions, BCI restrictions, ESD networks and distinct DC/AC magnetic conditions. ESA-only scope excludes EV/REESS high-voltage systems. Wider owner-advertised limits and apparatus remain qualified, without mechanical-testing, method-row count or combined-range inference. ISO 11452-1 principles do not create a separate physical test. Original PDF creation/modification timestamps are 10 April 2026. No owner page publication or modification date was verified, and register-template/news, copyright and history dates do not replace review dates. Original bodies, headers, titles, canonicals, JSON-LD, date metadata, extraction, both complete-page images, font configuration, stderr and provenance are retained. Prior owner homepage and schedule bodies are raw-byte identical to fresh originals. Imported materials/structural category, accreditation wording and postcode coordinates are replaced by EMC-only scope and empty locations.

OEM approval and manufacturing certification are owner context without an allocated accredited EMC scope or local mechanical-testing claim.
Chelmsford Technical Centre page explicitly describes semi-anechoic chambers, a BCI chamber, a humidity-controlled ESD room and conducted-immunity stations, development/validation and testing guidance.
