A helping hand to EMC conformity

An EMC precompliance service has been developed to help designers, manufacturers and distributors, comply with the relevant international EMC performance standards.

An electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) precompliance service has been developed to help designers, manufacturers and distributors, comply with the relevant international EMC performance standards.

With 40 years experience in EMC and RFI solutions, the engineers at EMC Solutions are able to offer a custom tailored, interactive service where guidance on design and component selection is available at all stages.

Following accurate test measurement, detailed performance reporting and comprehensive recommendations, the client is able to take the most efficient and commercially effective route to compliance.

On receipt of the client's instruction, the company's technical staff will undertake an initial product evaluation.

This will normally encompass an analysis of the complexity of the problem and builds an appreciation of the clients needs.

Where conditions allow, EMC Solutions engineers will visit the client's site to perform a range of tests to establish the product's signature to emissions and immunity.

Alternatively, a fully equipped test area is available at EMC Solutions convenient and easily accessible central location.

Typical testing consists of: evaluation of conducted and radiated emissions, thus indicating compliance or failure in accordance with the relevant standards; and a selection of tests to assess the performance of client's equipment to withstand voltage transient, radiated field, electrostatic discharge and bulk current injection in accordance with the relevant standards.

All test measurements would indicate the range of frequencies or levels of failure applicable to the type of testing.

Full documentation is provided to enable the client to compliment its technical construction file (TCF) and self-certify its equipment, subject to satisfactory EMC results.

In the event of a product's failure to comply, EMC Solutions can call on its EMC engineers' experience to provide advice on the design criteria required to meet the applicable standards and legislation.

All recommendations are made in the context of practical, cost conscious manufacturing and commercial solutions.

EMC Solutions has the capability to undertake remedial work ranging from the basic physical layout and sourcing of components to complete redevelopment projects.

An expansive stock of EMC components from shielding, gaskets and ferrites through to a range of standard filters are readily available.

The company has at its disposal various facilities which allow rapid design and assembly of low-cost devices, including custom suppression and surge protection filters.

These solutions can be installed at the time of test to quickly remedy a noncompliance condition.

The final stage is the provision of data, in report form derived from the calibrated test results, to enable confident self-certification of the client's equipment as required by the EMC Directive.

In summary, EMC Solutions' service endeavours to provide the most competent cost effective test and remedial facility within the shortest possible time scale.

In addition to the standard range of filters, EMC Solutions specialises in the design and manufacture of filters to suit specific design requirements.
