What is EMC testing?
Electromagnetic capability testing, known as EMC testing, measures the ability of electronic equipment, product, or devices to function satisfactorily without intolerable electromagnetic disturbances to anything within their electromagnetic environments. You can demonstrate EMC compliance when the device tests successfully and meets the EMC requirements for the target market, which leads to EMC certification.
Is EMC testing mandatory?
It is essential to test your products to ensure they meet the regulatory requirements; EMC certification is a mandatory requirement for a number of global markets. In addition to product safety and wireless coexistence, considering EMC principles in the early stages of the product development cycle will help to improve performance, reduce the risk of redesign, and mitigate unnecessary costs.
