Garment Electromagnetic Radiation Shielding Performance Testing System


The Garment Electromagnetic Radiation Shielding Performance Testing System is a comprehensive testing solution designed to evaluate the shielding effectiveness of protective clothing against electromagnetic radiation. Using a microwave test manikin in a controlled semi-anechoic chamber, the system measures the attenuation of electromagnetic waves on the head, chest, and abdomen of a dressed manikin. By simulating real-life conditions, the system provides accurate, reproducible assessment of garments’ protective performance across different frequencies.

Application

The system is suitable for a wide range of applications:

Assessing electromagnetic shielding performance of protective clothing in research and development

Evaluating finished garments and critical raw materials for EMF protection

Supporting quality control in textile and wearable electronics industries

Verifying compliance of protective apparel used in industrial, medical, or military environments

Standards

The testing system supports compliance with the following standards:

GB 23463-2025 – Protective Clothing for Microwave Radiation

GB/T 33615-2017 – Methods for Testing Electromagnetic Shielding Performance of Garments
