5 Reasons Clients Choose GME for EMC Testing
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing is critical to bringing compliant and high-performing products to market. But for many manufacturers, the testing process can feel like a bottleneck: costly, time-consuming, and impersonal.
Green Mountain Electromagnetics (GME) exists to change that. For over 30 years, our lab has delivered accredited EMC and product safety testing with a rare balance of technical depth and responsive service.
Here are five reasons why engineers, product leads, and compliance managers trust GME — not just once, but project after project.
1. Built for Engineers, Backed by Expertise
At the core of GME is deep technical leadership. Our president, Kyle Kowalczyk, is a PhD-level EMC engineer with over three decades of experience diagnosing and resolving EMI issues across industries. Around here, we call him the "EMI Doctor" — and clients benefit from direct access to that level of expertise when working through complex compliance failures or product modifications.
This hands-on engineering support is especially valuable when products fail initial scans. Rather than sending clients back to redesign in the dark, GME helps troubleshoot the root causes and develop solutions in real time — accelerating the path to compliance while avoiding common pitfalls in CE testing for regulated electronics.
2. Fast Turnaround, No Shortcuts
Time-to-market pressures are real. GME prioritizes rapid scheduling and turnaround while maintaining full compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 procedures.
Whether you're launching a lab instrument, embedded controller, or industrial computing device, delays in EMC testing can stall entire release cycles. We offer flexible scheduling and prompt reporting — often faster than larger national labs that require long lead times.
"Fast" at GME never means rushed. Every test is performed with precision and documentation, ensuring products meet the safety and performance expectations of global markets.
3. Transparent Pricing That Includes Engineering Support
Many EMC labs charge engineering review as an added line item — or don’t offer it at all. At GME, our pricing model is intentionally different.
We quote one fair, all-inclusive price that covers both testing and the engineering time needed to troubleshoot and resolve compliance issues. This makes budgeting simpler and ensures your product has the best chance of passing on the first or second iteration, without unexpected invoices.
For product teams navigating complex EMC requirements, this clarity makes a measurable difference.
4. An Accredited EMC Lab You Can Trust
GME is accredited by A2LA to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for test laboratories — the globally recognized benchmark for competence in testing and calibration.
This accreditation ensures:
-
Traceable, repeatable test results
-
Fully documented procedures
-
Acceptance by regulatory bodies across the U.S., Canada, and EU
For these reasons, it’s also why our lab is often recommended for CE, FCC, and ISED compliance when accreditation is non-negotiable.
5. A Refreshingly Personable Testing Experience
GME operates out of Vermont, and many of our clients choose to visit the lab in person to observe their testing firsthand. While they're here, they often take the opportunity to enjoy the surroundings — from vibrant fall foliage to winter skiing in the Green Mountains.
Whether you ship your equipment or bring it yourself, the experience is designed to be collaborative and personal. Clients enjoy transparent communication, access to our engineering team, and a uniquely human approach to compliance — all while enjoying a scenic setting that turns test time into a productive trip.
That responsiveness is especially important for clients comparing EMC test labs and looking for a balance of expertise and approachability.
Why Clients Recommend GME — and Return
GME combines the rigor of an accredited lab with the responsiveness and flexibility modern product teams need. Our clients stay with us because we solve problems efficiently, communicate clearly, and help them meet aggressive timelines without compromising compliance.
If you're seeking a long-term partner in EMC testing who understands both the technical and business pressures of product development, GME is ready to help.
