ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) ensures that the functionality of a device remains preserved and no unwanted electromagnetic radiation is generated.<\/h4>\n

Electromagnetic radiation<\/span><\/h4>\n

This electromagnetic radiation can be:
\n1. generated by the device itself (Emission)
\n2. generated by the surroundings (Immunity).<\/p>\n

The BGEMC lab has the necessary infrastructure and expertise to execute these EMC tests<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nLegislation<\/span><\/h4>\n

1. Europe
\nBefore a product is placed on the European market the product must meet the essential requirements listed in the directives.
\nVarious guidelines apply, including:
\n1.1 EMC directive applies when the product has active electronic components on board.
\n1.2 RED (Radio Equipment Directive) applies when the product uses wireless or “terminal” equipment.<\/p>\n

2. United States of America
\nFCC testing (only Emission is applicable)<\/p>\n

3. Canada
\nICES testing (only Emission is applicable)<\/p>\n

The BGEMC Lab can execute EMC tests according to harmonised standards in order to prove that your product complies.<\/p>\n

Applications<\/span><\/h4>\n

– Information Technology Equipment (ITE)
\n– Medical devices and appliances
\n– Laboratory and measuring equipment
\n– Automotive
\n– Agricultural vehicles
\n– Household
\n– Marine
\n– \u2026<\/p>\n

Standards<\/span><\/h4>\n

The table<\/a><\/span>\u00a0below gives an overview of the standards according to which the BGEMC lab can test.
\nHowever, this is only a limited list. Don’t hesitate to contact us for any specific question.<\/p>\n

Operating procedure<\/span><\/h4>\n

1. Full compliant testing<\/strong>
\nIn case a product fails during the full compliant test an acceptable solution will be looked for, possibly we can switch free of charge to pre-compliant testing.<\/p>\n

2. Advice:<\/strong> In case more in-depth research is required the advice of an independent EMC-expert can be appealed to.
\n<\/a>
\n3. Pre-compliant testing<\/strong>
\nAppropriate for testing a prototype (typically Radiated Emission, Conducted Emission and Radiated Immunity).
\nTests are executed using the same calibrated equipment and by the same skilled test engineers.
