For immediate release 2008 24 July IAC GmbH builds “one of the best Anechoic Chambers in Europe”
The new Semi Anechoic Chamber (SAS) is part of the VDE’s new EMC and acoustic test centre. It is one of the best known testing and certifying institutions in Europe. The Chamber has a cut off frequency of less than 80 Hz. It was built using a double wall panel construction yielding an ambient noise level of below 12 dB(A).
Volker Horchens is General Manager of IAC Germany: “VDE chose IAC because of our good support in the planning phase and the technical solution we proposed. We were delighted when following the testing and approval of the chamber by the PTB - the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt - they described it as "one of the best Anechoic Chambers in Europe”. The photographs were taken at the Grand Opening of the facility and show the various testing capabilities. Contact: Graham Dale Global Testing Facilities Manager grahamd@iacl.co.uk 01962 873024

The 7.7m high Semi-Anechoic Chamber built by IAC Germany for the country’s top testing institutes, the VDE, has been described as ‘one of the best Anechoic Chambers in Europe”.
The VDE, Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies, was founded in 1893 and has evolved into one of the largest technical and scientific associations in Europe. They currently have over 34,000 members, including a broad spectrum of engineers, scientists, technicians and some 5,000 students. 
IAC supplied the whole turnkey project. This included the vibration insulation of the inner shell which is mounted on springs. The floor is a concrete plate which also forms the base for the inner shell while the outer shell rests on the building’s foundation. The overall size of the chamber is 15.5m x 13.5m x 7.7m high with the interior lined with IAC’s patented metal coated Metadyne wedges.
