EMC testing can be considered a foreign art only to be practiced by the experts who are immersed in it daily. With the evolution of the internet (IoT), as is with many tasks, is becoming simplified and feasible to DIY it.
EMC precompliance testing is a valueable step to assess the electromagnetic emissions and susceptibility of electronic devices. It helps manufacturers identify and rectify potential EMC issues before full compliance testing and certification.
ADVANTAGES OF EMC PRECOMPLIANCE TESTING
- Cost Savings: Identifies and resolves issues early, reducing costs.
- Time Efficiency: Shortens time to market by addressing problems in advance.
- Improved Product Quality: Ensures product reliability and reduced susceptibility to interference.
- Reduced Risk of Fines: Helps avoid non-compliance fines and recalls.
TESTING EQUIPMENT & FACILITIES
EMC precompliance testing does not require specialized laboratories or anechoic chambers to get meaningful data and results. There are technqiues for understanding your test area and labs and doing precompliance EMC testing with safety considered to personnel and surrounding electronics.
Depending on the compliance standards, some legacy test equipment is still viable, allowing you to produce adequate electrical transients or measure and identify failures. Although it may take longer or more challenging to perform.
EMC STANDARDS & REGULATIONS
Depending on goals and objectives, test standards can be used as a guide to produce intended tests and evaluate the performance of your DUT.
AREAS OF EMC PRECOMPLIANCE TESTING
EMC precompliance testing consists of emission testing, immunity testing, and voltage and current harmonics testing.
- Emissions Testing - All Electronics and Commercial Electronics Only Need to Test for Emissions
- Immunity Testing: Medical devices, military and aersopace and electronics manufacturers looking to obtain a CE Mark
- Voltage and Current Harmonics Testing: Medical devices and other special electronics
