Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) describes the ability of an electronic device to operate as intended in its environment without interfering with other devices. Controlling electromagnetic interference (EMI) is an integral part of the development of any electronic device. By law, products must comply with international EMC standards, which regulate EM emissions and the susceptibility of commercially available electrical and electronic systems. A successful product must strike a balance between EMC and competing design requirements such as size, cost and performance. Finding this balance can pose major challenges to engineers. The earlier we can identify a potential EMI problem, the less disruption it causes to the design process. By including EMC-compliant design at an early stage, additional costly development iterations can be avoided later on. EMC Certification Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations ensure that devices must not emit electromagnetic fields that can disrupt other electronics. Devices must also be able to withstand electromagnetic interference(EMI) from nearby devices and from environmental electromagnetic effects (E3) such as lightning strikes or electromagnetic pulses. To ensure compliance with these regulations, electronics products must undergo EMC testing and certification before they can be sold on the market. Certification not only demonstrates compliance with regulations but also assures customers that the electrical system will function properly in an electromagnetic environment.
