Frequently asked questions
What does EMC compliance focus on?
The core question is whether equipment controls electromagnetic disturbance well enough to operate as intended without causing unacceptable interference.
Is EMC relevant only to wireless products?
No. Many electrical and electronic products can create or be affected by electromagnetic disturbance even when they do not contain radio functions.
Does EMC testing replace the rest of the compliance process?
No. Testing is evidence within a broader conformity process that also depends on product scope, technical documentation and the applicable EU legislation.
