Laboratory Test Results for SYB EMF Protection Products
At SYB, we take our product claims very seriously, and we want our customers like you to know that.
Which is why we have had our SaferBody™ shielding technology tested at multiple independent laboratories to show you that our SaferBody™ shielding technology shields up to 99% of EMF radiation.
And unlike other companies, this report includes results for low frequency EMF (such as from power lines and AC appliances)– as well as radio frequency (or RF) from wireless communication.
Not all of our products are made from the same version of our powerful SaferBody™ technology. This is because each product has different requirements and characteristics. You wouldn’t want to make a Baby Beanie out of the same material as the SYB Phone Pouch.
This is true for all EMF shielding companies. We all use different materials for different products.
The difference is that we post testing data from independent laboratories for each and every EMF shielding product that we make and sell. SYB is the only EMF protection company that does this.
Below please find the detailed testing data for the additional versions of SaferBody™ from SYB.

Testing on Additional Products
Not all of our products are made from SaferBody™ technology. Below you will find the testing information for those additional SYB products.
The NCB from SYB is the only product in the world that:
- eliminates contact current from grounding products
- eliminates dirty electricity from grounding products
- reduces electric field emissions from grounding products
Because it is such an innovative product (patent-pending) we have not yet been able to identify laboratories that can provide independent testing on these claims.
And so, instead, we have an extended article where the inventor of the NCB, Andrew McAfee, demonstrates the efficacy of the NCB using professional-grade meters and techniques, and explains how anyone with the correct equipment can verify the claims and performance of the NCB for themselves.
The H.A.R.D. is not a shielding device– instead, it attenuates by absorbing the EMF radiation and converting it to heat, which dissipates through the unit. So the type of testing performed on the H.A.R.D. is a bit different.
View the laboratory report of the SYB H.A.R.D. from the University of Gloucestershire.
Additionally, we commissioned a study, also at the University of Gloucestershire, to verify our product claim that the H.A.R.D. actually improves sound quality.
The SYB Pocket Patch is made from the Wear material made by SwissShield, which is composed of cotton, silver and copper and has been tested by the German Military on March 15, 2007.
View the SwissShield Wear Test Report >
Additionally, we commissioned a separate set of tests at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Center for High Frequency Electronics on June 10, 2013.
| Frequency (MHz) | Effectiveness (dB) | Effectiveness (%) |
|---|---|---|
| 800 | -41 | 99.10 |
| 1700 | -46 | 99.50 |
| 1900 | -29 | 96.45 |
| 2100 | -34 | 98.00 |
| 3000 | -18 | 87.40 |
Understanding EMF Protection Product Claims
Here at SYB, we go to great lengths to be as thorough and transparent as possible about our product claims. Which is why we have commissioned so many different tests at independent laboratories, and present you with all the results.
BUT! Before you invest in EMF protection– from SYB or any other company– it’s important to understand what these tests show and what these test results mean.
That’s why our CEO made this 11 minute video. Watch it; you’ll be glad you did.
