Vehicle electronic control systems continue to escalate in number and complexity, driving the need for new facilities able to assess and resolve complex interdependent compatibility issues. Responding decisively to evolving customer requirements, MIRA's EMC test capacity now eclipses 20,000 hours annually, ensuring customer programmes are not left waiting for access.

EMC development is a vital enabling technology for the current x-by-wire revolution. X-by-wire control systems are set to increase vehicle safety through new packaging opportunities, as well as the intelligent application of acceleration, braking and torque distribution strategies.

As Europe's largest independent provider of EMC services, MIRA's engineers command a suite of 9 precision facilities, tailoring development programmes to exacting technical standards. The broad range of facilities keep programme costs to an absolute minimum, as engineers are able to select the most appropriate tool for the application, reducing the reliance on expensive high-spec chambers. Over 50 qualified technical staff support the slick 24/7 operation, ensuring the delivery of appropriate solutions within increasingly tight deadlines. MIRA's engineers are equipped to provide on the spot problem resolution and consultancy support where deeper issues arise.

MIRA's EMC services enable vehicle makers to meet the requirements of ISO 13766, 2004/104/EC, CISPR 16, Def Stan 59-41, MIL STD 461, ANSI C63.4. MIRA's chambers share the same high quality standards, being accredited to ISO 17025 and enjoying DTI Notified Body Status 0888.
