We can test the following technologies & products
- 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G (FR1) cellular devices, satellite, TETRA, BLE, VHF, UHF and WLAN devices
- Cellular base station antennas
- Medical, healthcare, military and consumer products
- Animal care (e.g. tracking devices)
SAR Testing Capabilities
- CE, FCC & ISED SAR Testing
- Pre-Compliance Testing
- Head, Body, Extremity Capability
- Whole-Body SAR Measurement
- Test Frequencies between 12-6000MHz
- In Non-Signaling and Signaling Modes
- Dielectric Parameter Validation
We are also able to test limb SAR. From 1st July 2020, France requires limb SAR to be tested, in addition to the head and body SAR. Distributors must display SAR values provided by the manufactures of each appliance put on sale from 1st July 2020 at the point of sale or distribution.
Consumer protection has driven an increase in SAR testing and regulations. We at Verkotan are aware of these updated regulations.
Test Facilities
Verkotan’s SAR test facilities are fully equipped with the premier supplier of SAR evaluation systems and government-preferred vendor: SPEAG.
We are using DASY5 SAR test systems with RX 90 robotic arm, equipped with probes, tissue simulants, and multiple different phantoms such as twin SAM, ELI and Base Station Phantoms.
DASY5 is capable of evaluating products for SAR to all the global SAR standards for both head and body-worn devices.
Our testing is carried out according to standards and specifications in the US, Canadian, European, and Japanese markets:
- US – FCC Knowledge Database Publications on RF Exposure
- Canada – RSS-102, SPR-002
- EU – EN 50357, EN 50360, EN 50383, EN 50385, EN 50566, EN 62209-1, EN 62209-2, EN 62232, EN 62311, EN 62479
- International – IEC 62209-1, IEC 62209-2, IEC 62311, IEEE 1528

OTA
Verkotan can now test eSIM devices with COMPRION’s solution!
In the future you will not probably need a physical SIM card. Instead, a SIM card will be embedded into your device. With COMPRION’s new eSIM Test Profile Service, Verkotan can now perform OTA and SAR measurements on eSIM devices! Read more
SAR Testing
New standard for SAR testing
IEC and IEEE have published a new standard, which includes some significant technical changes considering SAR testing. Among other things, the new standard broadened the SAR testing frequency range down to 4 MHz and up to 10 GHz. There are many common RFID and NFC devices that use these frequencies, and Verkotan is one of the few laboratories, who has the capability to test down to 9 MHz frequency. The standard has been mandatory in Canada since third of May 2021. Continue reading for more information! Read more
SAR Testing
Low Frequency SAR testing
Many consumer products, such as mobile phones and WIFI products, work in radio frequencies above 700MHz. However, there are many products that operate at low radio frequencies under 700MHz. Do you know how these low frequency devices are tested? Continue reading to find out how Low Frequency SAR testing is done step by step. Read more
