Takes at least a couple of days of testing, confirmation, write ups per sample. There aren't that many labs properly certified to do that work, and most of them will be busy with pre-booked testing. I'm surprised they've managed that many, tbh.
All the labs busy in the EU too?
I can only speak for EMC labs that do similar level testing to EU standards - yes these labs are commercial enterprises and are always busy (or losing money) and waits can easily be a few weeks to get booked in.
I ended up building my own lab for my company, and getting it accredited. Cost £250k, but saved years of development time.
Lol.
Oh, hilarious......
We had to send our kit to a German test house for pre-compliance testing, at £1000 per set of tests. And if the kit failed (eg too high emissions) they would send it back as failed, with test results and a recommendation as to where the 'noise' was getting out. Time wasted - 2 to 3 months if it passed..... another 2 - 3 months plus another grand for yet another test if it failed. The cost in time was incalculable, because if we didn't get our new items on the shelves of the likes of B+Q, Focus Do-it-all, and loads of other sheds, someone else would.
Quite a giggle, letting the Chinese take our jobs, eh ?
