Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2004/108/EC)
The EMC Directive states that most electrical and electronic products made or sold in Europe must:
- Be so constructed that they do not cause excessive electromagnetic interference and are not duly affected by electromagnetic interference.
- Carry CE Marking.
What is included with the EMC Tests?
EMC Testing will be expected to include (but not limited to) the following:-
- Radiated emissions
- Non contact measurement using an active antenna.
- Conducted emissions
- Measurement using a Line Impedance Stabilisation Network or voltage probes dependant on the clients request and the current capacity of the machine.
- Fast Transients
- A low energy fast transient burst.
- Electrostatic discharge to the equipment at normal operator positions.
- Radiated immunity
- The equipment under test will be subjected to a radio frequency noise source at a specific spot frequency.
- RF energy will be induced into cables using a current clamp.
- Functional tests
- The machine is run to ensure no ill effects.
