Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Market Success Without Interferences

Thanks to smooth EMC testing

Almost all electronic devices generate electromagnetic interference.

For this reason, the EU introduced Directive 2004/108/EC and a corresponding mandatory CE mark for all manufacturers of these products.

A product is permitted to generate only a limited level of electromagnetic interference such that operation of other devices is not impaired, and should not itself be prone to interference. TÜV SÜD Product Service assists manufacturers or importers by taking care of statutory testing requirements for standard values, shortening their time to market and – if the worst comes to the worst – supplying solutions for problems.

What may be a straightforward procedure for small, simple devices is a job for the experts when it comes to complex apparatus, for example in the field of medical technology. Here the issue is particularly critical since electromagnetic interference may severely impair functioning of other devices – an enormous source of potential risk in sectors such as aviation, medicine or energy supply.
