Hi, I assume this subject probably was brought up at one point or another, so if someone can point me to archives or have some useful links/info, please send.
As most of us compliance folks, who does not have a privilege to work for a company with unlimited resources and CEO being formal EMC engineer, we all dream what one day we will have full blown REGULATORY COMPLIANCE lab (in my dream it comes in caps) with 2 10m anechoic chambers, open site with pastoral views and fountains, any possible immunity gadgets, RF chamber for wireless testing, Safety heaven, walk-in closet of ferrites, 2 Phd's, 10 engineers, 10 technicians and 1 cute office manager. And it's all yours. And you are making tons of dough. Well short of that, could some of you share experiences of building your own compliance lab (not just 3-5m chamber for pre-compliance emissions): * did you start from scratch or had some basic first aid: receivers, chambers, personnel? * was it only for EMC or as well for Wireless, Safety, telecom? * did you get accreditations? * how soon did you recover your investment? and what was acceptable time frame: 2/3/4 years? * which tests you still have to take outside? UL/FCC DFS/A-tick? * did you do it yourself or used some turn-key solution companies? * and the last, but not least, how much? I know it is not as exciting as runaways Toyota's, but let's try to make it fun.
