In the case of EMC, there are many basic EMC standards. It is the job of the product standard to identify the what is relevant to that product group’s environment and then reference the basic standard and appropriate limits. The table below indicates the current list of EMC basic standards.
The basic standards are important to manufacturers and test labs alike for different reasons. Manufacturers need to keep a watching brief on what is being developed within the basic standard since it will have a long term impact on the design of products whilst test labs need to ensure that they are equipped with the appropriate test equipment and facilities when the product family standards make reference to the basic standards’ methods.
Standards and tests are continually added to our portfolio, so please contact us for our latest capability. However a selection of common EMC standards include:
