Electromagnetic Compatibility
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.
The requirements under the EMC Directive are:
- 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.
