Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) of equipment
The electromagnetic compatibility of electronic apparatus and devices is their ability to function properly in the given electromagnetic environment without disturbing this environment too much by its own emissions.
If the requirements of the basic or product (family) specific European standards (EN) are met, one would presume, that the general aims of protection of the national German EMC act or the European EMC directive would be met.
Appropriate standardized EMC tests (immunity tests against conducted and radiated disturbance signals, electrostatic discharge, and emission measurements) are being offered as PTB's internal service:
EMC tests of electronic equipment are carried out according to the EMC act (for affixing the CE mark) and/or special requirements and construction rules.
Further test options for special equipment (e.g. medical devices, electricity meters, flow meters) are available from the EMC test laboratory at PTB Berlin.
