​

In addition to iNARTE®  ESD Training for  Space & Defense, the  RMV SMEs conduct  ESD Testing for  NASA, the DoD, DOE and  Industry. 

 

 RMV provides IEC testing, whose requirements are very similar to ANSI/ESD with few exceptions.  Due to its  global presence, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is widely promoted by a handful of IEC Experts and is the only recognized international ESD Standard by China and its state-owned companies. No others are recognized by China (ANSI/ESD, ASTM)

     

For Space & Defense,  the test methods can be application specific depending upon the request.   RMV lab ESD/EMI testing includes advanced materials (3D, CubeSats, smart textiles, flexible electronics, conductive polymers, CNTs, and other engineered materials that shall perform in low RH and extreme environments.
