On April 18, 2014, the EU issued the new EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, fully enforced from April 20, 2016,
replacing the old 2004/108/EC to adapt to the New Legislative Framework (NLF).
EMC Electromagnetic Compatibility Certification
Definition of EMC
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) means electromagnetic compatibility. As defined by IEC, it refers to the capability of equipment or systems to operate normally in electromagnetic environments without generating unacceptable electromagnetic interference to surrounding devices. The EMC CE certification requires all electrical and electronic products to limit electromagnetic emission within specified limits to avoid interference; meanwhile, products shall have sufficient anti-interference performance for stable operation, including:
-
01EMI (Electromagnetic Interference)
Unwanted interference signals generated during equipment operation, which may come from external environment or the device itself.
-
02EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility)
The capability of equipment to resist impacts from surrounding electromagnetic interference.
EMC Certification Process
Submit application form;
Submit technical documents: product introduction, user manual, technical drawings, key component BoM list, nameplate drawing, CE certificates or DoC of outsourced parts, etc.;
Sample testing: tests in line with EMC harmonized standards, including radiated emission, conducted interference, harmonic current, voltage fluctuation, ESD, radiation immunity, surge, EFT, voltage dip and other EMC test items;
After document review and qualified test results, our EU headquarters will issue the CE certificate for CE marking.
