Abstract: In space area, the elements of electromagnetic compatibility such as emission, immunity and susceptibility are critically important to ascertain all the electrical and electronic components in satellite body function correctly without fatal. Every single component should has the ability to function satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without introducing intolerable electromagnetic disturbances to anything in that environment. By setting up a fully anechoic chamber, various kind of EMC tests could be conducted thus ascertained the required ambient was maintained throughout the lifetime. On the other hand, being one of critical testing equipment in one main building, obtaining an optimal level of safety is crucial by considering both intra-system and intersystem. This is one of important step to ensure every single test that was run inside the chamber will produce and guarantee accurate and precise result according to the specified standard. Realising this, a comprehensive of safety control was established where combined all safety elements such as mechanical and electrical started from design, assembly and installation of the chamber until operation and testing phase. This study describedon the method of validation and verification to assess the safety control implemented in EMC working area at AIT Centre, National Space Agency, Banting. The establishment of comprehensive safety control in various phases also discussed throughout this study. The remainder of this study outlines some methods to improve the existing safety control.
