I'm looking for someone / some company that can help with investigation into an EMC problem. I'm expecting to pay for suitable expertise, time and equipment use.
Does anyone know any good EMC test / investigation facilities in the UK, that would be recommended?
The testing will be for immunity to radiated signals at around 500 MHz. I want to find what changes can be made to the board to improve the robustness.
Most PCB houses will do EMC testing... I know the one I use does.... I can send a unit to them and they test it... They don't issue certs but will get it ready so it'll pass.. Where in blighty are you?

Well on the left of every post, under the name, this forum puts the location, which I have specified as "England", so I guessed that people had seen that.
Speaking of RF susceptability in automotive accessories, I once had a GM Chev Blazer that would speed up about 20Mi/h if the OEM cruise control was engaged and I keyed a 25W transmitter on a VHF Ham rig on any legal frequency from 144MHz to 450MHz.
I once worked an EMS factory that made a battery rejuvenator that consumed only 1W off car/truck while running but delivered 50A pulses that very of course quite narrow but desulphonated the batteries but caused AM interference for truckers where FM reception was poor. I have never had an EMI problem, .I couldn't fix with the right tools and time to do it.
I grew up in the midlands of this country and once spearheaded a virtual Eng Design group with all our resources around the world in some of the 115 factories.
once we did EMC testing on Paoli, PA and learned how to win at poker on the Apple , went to Atlantic City only to find they thwarted the tactic with 100:1 ratio on all tables. It used the binary double method on successive losses, so couldn't use it.
