Questions Regarding Shielded Rooms
•
•
What are the customer requirements?
‒
If specialised equipment is to be shielded, what is the uppermost acceptable level
of field it can be exposed to?
‒
What access is needed to the room?
‒
What is the level of the external field?
‒
Is radio frequency shielding also required?
How big is the room?
‒
•
Where is the room to be located?
‒
8
For most large rooms we would recommend additional shielding layers to attain the
desired attenuation
We have specialist measuring equipment and will fully assess the magnetic field within the relevant area
so that we can identify regions of high field and classify their frequencies
