Home EMC Directive Information

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

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.

If your product is sold, used by yourself, given away or used in anyway, it must comply with the Essential Protection Requirements as laid down in the Directive. Ignorance of the legislation is no excuse and a punitive penalty structure is documented.EMC Directive

EMC Directive requirements:

  • That the product must not interfere with any other product in any way.
  • The product must meet certain standards in that it must not suffer interference from any other product.

Laidler Associates can offer a high level of service to ensure that products comply. On-site testing at your premises saves cost on setting up product and providing any special facilities that the product may require.

If a problem is detected, we can work with your on-site engineers to solve the problem. We are at your service to accomplish fast, cost-effective, certified products that you can affix CE Marking to with confidence.

For cost-effective certification, the EMC testing service covers all commercial, various military and a number of special purpose standards. We will guide you to the required standards.

If required, Laidler Associates can arrange Notified Body sign off, if this compliance route is chosen.
