Compliance
Worldwide was founded in December 1996 to provide North American
emissions and wireless testing services and approval liaison services.
We also provided wireline telecommunications consulting services for
electronic manufacturing companies in New England. In March of 1997 we
purchased our first major piece of measuring equipment for emissions
testing an HP 8546A EMI Test Receiver to be used with our 3/10 Meter
Open Area Test Site (OATS).
In the Spring of
1998 we expanded our service offerings to include the testing of
wireline telecommunications products in the USA under FCC Part 68 and
later that year for Canada under IC CS03. Our service offerings
included digital telecommunications interfaces such as T1, ISDN Primary
and Basic Rate Interfaces and analog telecommunications interfaces such
as telephones with handsets, modems, FXO, DID, Loop Start and Ground
Start Cards for PBX systems.
In December 1999 we
were able to acquire a state of the art EMC testing facility in
Sandown, New Hampshire and moved our operations in January 2000. The
new facility included a compact semi-anechoic 3 meter chamber, a 3/10
meter Enclosed Open Area Test Site with 10 foot turntable and a 230 VAC
50 Hz, 25 Amp Motor Generator to provide European Power. Also, the
facilty came with the equipment to provide Immunity testing services
for CE Mark testing including Electro-Static Dischage (ESD), Radiated
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), Electrical Fast Transients (EFT)
and Lightning Surge.
Over the Summer of
2000 and into 2001 we continued to increase our service offerings in
the area of Immunity (Susceptibility) Testing services including
Conducted RFI, Power Frequency Magnetic Fields and Voltage Dips,
Interruptions and Short Variations. We also added Harmonics and Flicker
capability to test for Emissions in Europe.
On July 14th 2000, we achieved
accreditation from A2LA under ISO Guide 25-1990. This led to becoming
designated by NIST as a Competent Assessment Body (CAB) for Industry
Canada IC CS-03 Telecom, Taiwan (BSMI) CNS 13438 Emissions and as a
Recognized Testing Laboratory (RTA) for Australia.
In January 2002 we updated our A2LA
accreditation to ISO Guide 17025-1999 and increased the number of
standards we were accredited to over 100 standards.
In May 2002 we expanded our Wireline
Telecommunications testing laboratory to provide E1 & ISDN testing
services for Australian and European Requirements
In March 2005 we became listed with VCCI
for approvals of Information Technology Equipment (ITE) in Japan.
In 2006 we celebrated our 10th year of
being in business.
In January 2007 we expanded our wireless
testing capable to extend our upper measurement range for devices from
26.5 GHz to 110 GHz.
Over the Spring and
Summer months of 2007 we became designated by NIST under the APEC-MRA
for the economies of Hong Kong (HKTA), Singapore (IDA), South Korea (RRL),
Australia (ACMA) & Taiwan (NCC).
In the Summer of 2008 we added 3 Phase
208 Volt, 60 Hz at 30 Amps per phase to our internal capabilities.
Over the Summer of 2009 we added office
space to the front of our building.
