An ESD Lab does not need to be "Certified", as long as it is used for Self-Certification testing under the EMC Directive. If you plan on using the data to support Technical Construction Files (TCFs), then you will probably want to consider having the site evaluated by a Competent Body from Europe. Your best bet is to have the site evaluated by the body who is holding your TCFs.
However, if you are not intending to go the TCF route, then simply set up the lab as decribed in EN61000-4-2 and zap away!

Does anyone know which standards are to be used for lab layout, grounding, and procedures to be followed. What bodies or agencies can certify a lab? Thanks Darrell Locke Advanced Input Devices
