The Munich branch of the SGS Group Germany, which focuses on high-tech services, has moved to its new location in Puchheim, Benzstraße in the west of Munich and is significantly expanding its service options in this context. Services are offered in the context of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), radio, product safety, medical device testing, fire and flammability testing and lighting technology. At the same time, the Functional Safety and Homologation divisions of SGS-TÜV Saar GmbH with their state-of-the-art services including cyber security, autonomous driving, robotics and artificial intelligence will also be relocated to Puchheim.
At the new location at Benzstrasse 26 + 28 in Puchheim, two buildings with approx. 6300 m2 of laboratory and office space have been rented from Hallenwerk. This means that significantly more testing facilities and test capacities are now available.
One hall section of the existing building was demolished by the landlord and rebuilt to fit exactly on around 1800 m2 and at a corresponding building height without columns in order to accommodate the measuring cells of the new EMC laboratory. Albatross Projects began constructing the new measuring cells back in May of this year. In addition to a new 10 m absorber hall and 2 new 5 m absorber halls, 2 further absorber halls and 3 shielded measuring cells will be relocated from the previous laboratory site and set up in the new test hall.
The new 10 m EMC hall in particular has significantly enhanced technical capabilities compared to the previous hall: a turntable with a diameter of 6 m and a load capacity of 10 tons (dynamic) or 35 tons (static) as well as a heavy-duty area outside the turntable for vehicles and heavy test specimens up to 15 tons/m2, 20 tons axle load or 35 tons total weight. All this in conjunction with an entrance gate measuring 4.2 x 4.2 m.
In contrast to conventional 3 m halls, the two 5 m absorber halls are also designed to meet future requirements and measuring distances for medium-sized test specimens. In this respect, the new EMC laboratory offers excellent and standard-compliant testing options - from small components to large and heavy test samples or vehicles. In terms of power supply, the EMC laboratory is designed for test specimens up to 125 A/400 V and 1000 VDC or 500 ADC for electromobility.
The new location offers significantly better logistics and delivery options, especially for large and heavy test samples and vehicles.
In conjunction with the move, our lighting technology laboratory will have an additional 18 m long dark room to provide more options for measuring the photometric properties and photobiological safety of lamps, luminaires and lasers, among other things.
This means that the relevant areas will also be perfectly positioned for testing and certification in the future - from small components to complex and large systems from the areas of lamps & luminaires, IT, audio/video, laboratory, in-vitro and medical devices as well as rail, industry and automotive, including electromobility plus combined equipment in conjunction with radio systems.
In combination with the extensive service portfolio in the context of functional safety, cyber security, artificial intelligence and vehicle type approval, SGS offers even more excellent and comprehensive services for various industrial applications at the new Puchheim site.
