From design conception to end-product completion, our global testing capabilities help you ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and environmental hardiness of your automotive components by assisting you in maximizing accuracy, reducing testing cycles, and enhancing process efficiency — even against the most demanding regulations. We test performance, reliability and environmental hardiness of vehicle and tractor/trailer electronic components to MIL-STD, SAE, IEC, DIN, ASTM, FCC standards and European Directive 95/54/EC (72/245/EEC) or ECE Regulation No.10.
We provide custom testing solutions utilizing the latest technology and automation software, helping you meet demanding time-to-market needs. From climatic, dynamic, and electrical environments to natural and vehicle-induced sources, our streamlined testing process brings your product from development to end use efficiently in accordance with your compliance needs for faster market access.

e-Mark
Eurofins MET Labs can help electronic component manufacturers for the automotive industry obtain e-mark or E-mark approval according to the automotive directive 95/54/EC (72/245/EEC) or ECE Regulation No.10.
The approval process for e-mark or E-mark starts after the client provides relevant documentation and test samples for assessment and testing:
- Eurofins MET Labs carries out testing on samples in accordance with the Automotive Directive (Radiated immunity and Emissions).
- Eurofins MET Labs arranges the submission of all test reports/technical documentation to the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA).
- VCA issues a type approval certificate, subject to a satisfactory review of the submitted documents and Conformity of Production (CoP) assessment.
- Client can affix e-mark on the product after receiving approval number from VCA.
