We work as a team across six disciplines and are able to develop test programmes to suit your requirements.

With the up-to date knowledge and variety of our experience, Mead Testing are able to offer their customers more than just a simple test house experience. We are able to help our customers by advising them on standards applying to their product, with  insurance claims where products have been damaged (smoke, water, etc) and if a product should fail a standard or test requirement how to resolve these issues to ensure a success.

Not all standards apply to all products and we are well placed  to offer customers guidance on which standards are most appropriate, given the type of product, and the working environment it will face.

• Climatic and Thermal Testing [Detail...]
  Our Climatic and Thermal Testing facility uses a suite of humidity and LN2 cooled thermal cycling chambers to satisfy a wide range of accelerated stress conditioning standards.

• Electromagnetic Compatibility ( EMC ) [Detail...]
  Our Electromagnetic Compatibility ( EMC ) testing facility uses a ferrite lined Semi-Anechoic Chamber fully accredited to test your product to the latest European and American standards. Our wide experience of electronic systems operation means that operational testing can usually be performed without your staff on site.

• Electromagnetic Design [Detail...]
  Our EMC Design and Engineering consultancy service offers our customers the differentiated value of "front end" EMC engineering where EMC is designed into a new product at the “concept ready” or drawing board stage  and design solutions implemented. The use of first principles EMC modelling and EMC simulation software such as FLOEMC will greatly increase the probability of a successful EMC design.

• Consulting [Detail...]
  Mead Testing is able to provide much more than a testing service. Because we are able to conduct many of the tests required to certify electronic products we are able to offer you a "one stop shop" solution to your certification needs. We can advise on the most appropriate accreditation route for your product in your chosen market, plan and implement the testing and liaise with the appropriate bodies on your behalf. This is often more efficient and cost effective than employing several laboratories with your own staff co-ordinating the activity.
