Expanding EMC and wireless testing capabilities in Europe
UL Solutions is expanding its global electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and wireless testing footprint with the development of a new state-of-the-art laboratory in Neu-Isenburg, Germany. Strategically located on UL Solutions’ existing campus near Frankfurt, this new facility will strengthen Europe’s access to advanced testing and certification services for large, high-powered and complex products across multiple industries.
The new German laboratory represents a significant investment in regional infrastructure, designed to help customers accelerate innovation and demonstrate compliance to stringent requirements.
A strategic location at a UL Solutions Center of Excellence
Building on an established testing campus
The laboratory will be located on UL Solutions’ existing Center of Excellence in Neu‑Isenburg. This campus already hosts multiple safety and performance testing facilities, making it a well‑established destination for manufacturers seeking technical expertise and integrated services.
The new laboratory will include multiple large-scale chambers and a footprint designed to accommodate future expansion, helping the site grow alongside customer demand.
Addressing a regional gap in large-scale EMC testing
Supporting manufacturers where they need it most
The new facility is designed to fill a critical local gap in EMC testing for large and heavy equipment. By providing advanced capabilities closer to customers, UL Solutions enables manufacturers to streamline logistics, reduce time-to-market and collaborate more closely with technical experts throughout the product life cycle.
Advanced testing capabilities for complex equipment
Large-scale EMC and wireless testing
The laboratory is planned to offer a comprehensive range of testing and approval services for larger, more complex equipment. A key feature of the site will be a 10meter EMC chamber capable of accommodating items up to 4 meters in length and weighing up to five tons. This capability is essential for industries producing industrial systems, large appliances and sophisticated medical and automotive equipment.
In addition to EMC testing, the facility will provide wireless testing services across a wide range of technologies, including:
- Wi‑Fi
- Bluetooth
- Mobile and cellular networks
- GPS
- Radio frequency identification (RFID)
Serving multiple industries and applications
From energy transition to next-generation mobility
The new laboratory will support a diverse range of products and industries, including:
- Industrial equipment
- HVAC
- Appliances
- Medical devices
- Consumer products
- Automotive systems
Examples include electrical and telecommunication devices, as well as automotive components, such as radar sensors and infotainment systems.
The facility is specifically positioned to provide the targeted testing services Europe needs to:
- Accelerate the energy transition
- Enable connected data ecosystems
- Support next‑generation mobility
At the same time, the laboratory will help manufacturers keep pace with evolving regulatory requirements, allowing them to navigate compliance with greater confidence.
Designed for sustainability and the future
A sustainable, future-ready facility
Projected to be operational by mid-2027, the laboratory is being designed as a sustainable building aligned with UL Solutions’ sustainability principles. The site will incorporate renewable energy sources, including rooftop solar panels, advanced building controls and a soak-away rainwater system that returns water directly to the soil.
Constructed to meet the latest German thermal insulation regulations, the building will maximize energy efficiency while minimizing its carbon footprint. In addition to housing advanced testing laboratories, the facility will accommodate both commercial and technical teams, fostering closer collaboration and customer support.
Part of a global EMC and wireless network
Once operational, the NeuIsenburg laboratory will become an integral part of UL Solutions’ global network of EMC and wireless facilities across Asia, Europe, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States. Together, these laboratories help manufacturers address compliance challenges early, mitigate risk and bring safer, more reliable products to global markets.
For European customers, the new German laboratory represents more than expanded capacity — it is a long-term tool in innovation, compliance and sustainable growth.
