What Emilab does

Emilab Srl is an Italian ISO/IEC 17025 accredited testing laboratory founded in 1998 and headquartered in Amaro (Udine), Italy. The company specializes in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing, electrical safety testing, environmental testing, and mechanical/vibration testing for electrical and electronic products. It operates a 1,300 square meter facility containing three anechoic chambers (with capability up to 40 GHz and field strengths of 400+ V/m), nine climate chambers and two thermostatic chambers (-40°C to +180°C), three thermal shock chambers, vibration systems up to 24 kN (mechanical shock to 48 kN), and high-power DC testing systems (36 kW, up to 1 kV DC, 30 A) for electric vehicle component validation. In 2023, Emilab completed an expansion of its FAR3 semi-anechoic chamber (7.2m x 5.7m x 3.3m) with dedicated high-current and high-voltage filters for EV powertrain testing.

Emilab's core customer base is automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, including direct third-party laboratory recognitions from Stellantis (CS.00244–246 standards), BYD, and legacy FCA. Additional verticals served include consumer electronics and home appliances (CE marking, QPS for North America, CB Scheme certification), radio and wireless equipment manufacturers (ETSI and FCC Part 15/18), railway equipment (EN 50155/EN 50121-3-2), military and avionics (MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, DO-160), agricultural machinery (ISO 13766, EN ISO 14982), and industrial equipment (EN 61000 series). The company holds a broad set of accreditations including ISO/IEC 17025, ISO 17065:2012, FCC (first Italian laboratory to receive), ISED Canada, NSAI technical service recognition, and Notified Body status under EMC Directive 2004/108/EC.

Emilab generates revenue through professional services on a quote-based, project-by-project model with multi-year contracts, targeting enterprise B2B clients via direct sales engagement. Following its 2017 acquisition by global TIC firm Applus+, Emilab operated as part of the Applus+ Laboratories Division until January 2026, when EXONX Srl acquired the company. Disclosed revenue was €1.9 million in 2016 with 15 staff; current revenue is undisclosed but implied to have grown materially given subsequent facility expansion and OEM qualifications.

Broad incumbents

• Bureau Veritas: Global TIC incumbent offering EMC, electrical, environmental, and automotive testing across Consumer Products and Industrial sectors. Comparable to Emilab in automotive and electronics testing but operates across many other verticals and geographies at much larger scale.
• SGS: World's largest TIC company with extensive EMC, electrical safety, automotive, and industrial testing capabilities. Competes with Emilab for European and global manufacturer testing contracts but offers broader service portfolio and geographic reach.
• Intertek: Global TIC company with strong EMC and electrical product safety testing services (including the ETL mark used for North American market access, comparable to Emilab's QPS service). Directly competes for consumer electronics and industrial testing contracts.
• TÜV Rheinland: Global TIC provider with automotive, EMC, electrical safety, and wireless testing offerings. Comparable through automotive component and CE marking testing services, operating as a broad incumbent with significantly larger scale.
• TÜV SÜD: Global TIC giant with dedicated automotive EMC and e-mobility testing services, including high-voltage component validation. Comparable through overlapping automotive EMC, electrical safety, and homologation offerings, though TÜV SÜD operates at significantly broader scale.
• DEKRA: Global TIC leader with strong automotive testing, EMC, and homologation capabilities. Competes with Emilab for automotive OEM contracts and offers broader geographic coverage and larger engineering services, but serves as an incumbent rather than a focused EMC specialist.
• Element Materials Technology: International testing laboratory group with automotive, aerospace, and industrial EMC and environmental testing capabilities. Comparable through automotive and industrial EMC testing offerings but serves a broader range of end markets including aerospace and energy.
• Eurofins EMC: Eurofins group operates EMC, electrical, and radio testing laboratories across Europe. Comparable through testing service scope for European manufacturers needing CE marking, RED, and EMC compliance, though Eurofins operates across many other testing verticals.

Direct peers

• Nemko: Norway-headquartered international testing and certification laboratory specializing in EMC, electrical safety, radio/wireless, and product compliance. Highly comparable to Emilab in scope (ISO 17025 accredited EMC lab) and customer base (manufacturers needing global market access certifications).
• Applus+ Laboratories: Global TIC company that owned Emilab from 2017 to 2026 as part of its Laboratories Division. Offers directly overlapping EMC, electrical safety, environmental, and automotive homologation testing capabilities across multiple geographies, making it the most directly comparable competitor.
