Electro-Magnetic Compatibility
(EMC) --
Non-compliance with the EMC Directive and the referenced standards
can cause any equipment using electronic or digital controls to
become a hazard as a result of interference with electronic
signals from another piece of equipment. Electro magnetic
interference could cause loss of data in medical equipment like
EKG and EEG machines, interfere with military communication,
increase errors in computer networks, cause the incorrect
operation of large industrial machinery, and disrupt audio and
video equipment. Any of these events could lead to injury to
persons and property. |

At eti, specially trained engineers can
measure both high frequency sources (radio frequency spectrum) as well
as low frequency fields (static magnetic and power line frequencies and
their low harmonics). These measurements of emissions or susceptibility
can be used to determine if your product can cause other equipment to
malfunction (emissions) or other equipment can cause your equipment to
malfunction (susceptibility). Through testing, analysis and calculation,
experts measure the intensity of these fields and determine which fields
can be eliminated through wiring changes, equipment rearrangement,
shielding or other modifications.
eti provides testing to the European Union EMC Directive
and applicable
international standards, which applies to apparatus, systems, equipment,
and installations containing electrical or electronic components. This
certification ensures that your product will be accepted in all EU
member countries.
