High Voltage Laboratory

The High Voltage Laboratory is deeply involved in a wide range of electrical testing and measurements, including electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and immunity tests. Its expertise extends beyond high voltage applications to encompass the certification and compliance of electrical equipment with national and international standards. The Laboratory is equipped with modern, calibrated equipment that is traceable to the National and International Standards.

Lighting Laboratory

The Lighting Laboratory at ICCS is outfitted with advanced equipment, including three goniophotometers, three integrating spheres, spectroradiometers, and various illuminance, luminance, and radiance meters. Additional tools include an ILMD, standard light sources, a photometric bench, and various support devices. Notably, the Laboratory has developed a proprietary imaging system for measuring luminance in roadways and tunnels from a moving vehicle. It is the only facility in the country dedicated to both educational and research photometry.
