What Compliance Engineering does

Compliance Engineering Pty Ltd is a privately held Australian company headquartered in Keysborough/Melbourne, Victoria, founded in 2005 with approximately 12 employees. The company operates an A2LA ISO 17025:2017 accredited testing laboratory and is the only privately owned manufacturer of modular RF shielded enclosures in Australia. Its business is structured around two interlocking lines: accredited EMC, electrical safety, and environmental testing services, and the design, manufacture, and distribution of RF shielding products and EMC test equipment.

The service portfolio covers EMC testing and certification across RCM/C-Tick, CE marking, radio, automotive, railway (EN50121), military (MIL-STD-461, up to 40 GHz and 200 V/m), and aeronautic (RTCA/DO-160) standards, plus product safety testing, environmental testing (shock/vibration/bump, temperature/humidity, IP, salt spray, UV/xenon arc, flammability), acoustic measurements, antenna calibrations, on-site EMC measurement, and EMC consultancy. The product portfolio includes modular RF shielded enclosures (Faraday cages and anechoic chambers), RF shielded boxes and cabinets, mobile/portable RF shielded shipping containers, custom enclosures, RF absorbing materials (pyramidal foam and ferrite tiles), proprietary M36 EMF shielding material, CEP series RF/EMP filters (≥100dB, 14 kHz to 40 GHz), and accessories. The company also distributes Prâna broadband RF power amplifiers (10 kHz–6 GHz, up to 12kW), Schwarzbeck antennas/EMC accessories, and the DARE RadiMation integrated EMC software test platform.

Revenue is generated through professional services (per-test or per-standard fees for accredited testing and certification), engineered hardware sales of RF shielded enclosures and shielding products, and equipment distribution margins on third-party brands. Sales are conducted via a sales-led direct model using website quote requests, phone inquiries, and relationship-based business development, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Customer concentration sits across telecommunications carriers (Telstra, Vodafone, Optus), government and research organizations (AFP, CSIRO), scientific research (SKA Observatory), defence/industrial (Nexans/Olex), and transport (Connex/Melbourne Train Network). The company holds ISO 9001 certification and VCA Australia approval, supporting international acceptance of test reports through ILAC MRA recognition across 46 economies.
