The verdict in three sentences
For an accredited electromagnetic compatibility laboratory, every empty anechoic chamber slot is lost revenue. A website with pages per standard, a test request with product sheet and an availability calendar costs 14,000 to 25,000 EUR in 2026, delivered in 8 weeks. It brings in usable files and smooths the chamber schedule across the year.
Why manufacturers search by standard
A quality engineer at a Berlin medtech company or an electronics start-up does not type "EMC lab". They search "EN 55032 class B test Berlin" or "EN 61000-4-3 immunity lead time". The site must offer one page per standard or family, with the exact DAkkS accreditation scope (the German counterpart of COFRAC), the equipment used, typical duration and what to provide.
| Standard or family | Test purpose | Typical duration | Indicative price excl. VAT |
|---|---|---|---|
| EN 55032 / CISPR 32 | Radiated and conducted emissions, multimedia | 1 to 2 days | 2,000 to 4,000 EUR |
| EN 55011 / CISPR 11 | Emissions, industrial equipment | 1 to 2 days | 2,100 to 4,200 EUR |
| EN 61000-4-2 | Electrostatic discharge | 0.5 day | 700 to 1,000 EUR |
| EN 61000-4-3 | Radiated immunity | 1 day | 1,800 to 2,400 EUR |
| EN 61000-4-4 and 4-5 | Fast transients and surge | 0.5 to 1 day | 1,000 to 1,700 EUR |
| EN 61000-6-x | Generic residential and industrial standards | 2 to 3 days | 3,900 to 6,600 EUR |
| Pre-compliance | Exploratory test before certification | 0.5 day | 850 to 1,200 EUR |
These are 2026 estimates for the Berlin-Brandenburg market. Showing them as ranges prevents out-of-budget requests and signals transparency against competing labs in Munich or Hamburg.
Website budget and scope by tier
| Component | Essential tier | Advanced tier | Complete tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standards and accreditation pages | 10 pages | 25 pages with DAkkS scope | 40 pages + equipment sheets |
| Test request | Simple form | Product sheet, standards, size, power supply | Upload of schematics and test plan |
| Availability calendar | No | Free weeks displayed | Provisional slot booking |
| Client portal | No | Request tracking | Secure test report downloads |
| Languages | German | German + English | German + English + French |
| Timeline | 6 weeks | 8 weeks | 11 weeks |
| Indicative budget excl. VAT | 14,000 EUR | 19,000 EUR | 25,000 EUR |
The calendar never exposes client names: it only shows free, partly free or full weeks. A provisional booking holds a slot for 72 hours while the team checks technical feasibility and sends the quote. On a recurring basis, plan 200 to 400 EUR per month for secure hosting and maintenance, with the accreditation scope updated after every audit.
Trust and confidentiality, the two conversion levers
Manufacturers ship unreleased prototypes. The site must clearly display the DAkkS accreditation number and a link to the scope, the product confidentiality policy, NDA terms and EU-based report hosting. A client portal with two-factor authentication reassures automotive and medical key accounts. A "Prepare your test" page with a downloadable checklist reduces cancellations caused by incomplete samples.
Mini case study
Katrin, director of a DAkkS-accredited EMC lab in Berlin, runs an anechoic chamber billed at around 2,200 EUR per day. Utilization caps at 62 %, about 136 days out of 220 working days. After a 19,000 EUR website with calendar and structured requests, international inquiries grow and utilization reaches 72 %, or 22 more days sold per year. Extra revenue is roughly 48,000 EUR, and the site pays back in under 5 months, as an estimate.

FAQ
Should test prices be published?
A range per standard is enough. The final price depends on the number of configurations and operating modes, with a common 30 to 50 % gap between a simple product and multi-port equipment.
Can the calendar connect to our scheduling software?
Yes, on the complete tier, via iCal export or API depending on your tool. This integration accounts for roughly 3,500 EUR of the budget.
How are test reports protected?
With a two-factor client portal, download links expiring within 7 days and EU hosting. Reports stay encrypted at rest.
Does the site need an English version?
In Berlin, yes: a large share of start-ups and foreign manufacturers search in English. The English version adds about 2,800 EUR with reviewed technical translation.
How long until launch?
Eight weeks on the advanced tier, including 10 days to write the standards pages with your engineers. Providing an up-to-date accreditation scope at kickoff avoids back-and-forth.
