EMC Testing

Every electronic device or system have impact on each other when being connected to one another or placed to a close proximity. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the electromagnetic compatibility according to EMC standards.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing ensures 2 things: Firstly, that the electronic devices are not causing electromagnetic interferences to the environment.

Secondly, that the devices operate correctly when being near other devices.

EMC-directive 2014/30/EU is created in order to reliably evaluate electronical devices’ quality. In EU the devices manufacturer ensures that the product is in line with the EU directives that include EMC-directive by using the CE-label.

Given the fact that every electronic device influences each other, it is clear that design and testing according to EMC directive is relevant part of product development. Its neglection can cause delays and costs in the official measurements.

Similarly, outside of the EU you can find requirements for EMC testing in most other countries. For example, in North America FCC maintain the local requirements for the USA and ISED the Canadian requirements.

Our EMC test portfolio has a big variety of standards to cover different market segments. Those can be found here in the FINAS T290 scope of accreditation document.
