ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) ensures that the functionality of a device remains preserved and no unwanted electromagnetic radiation is generated.
Electromagnetic radiation
This electromagnetic radiation can be:
1. generated by the device itself (Emission)
2. generated by the surroundings (Immunity).
The BGEMC lab has the necessary infrastructure and expertise to execute these EMC tests.
Use to quickly and easily calculate the price for your EMC-tests.
Legislation
1. Europe
Before a product is placed on the European market the product must meet the essential requirements listed in the directives.
Various guidelines apply, including:
1.1 EMC directive applies when the product has active electronic components on board.
1.2 RED (Radio Equipment Directive) applies when the product uses wireless or “terminal” equipment.
2. United States of America
FCC testing (only Emission is applicable)
3. Canada
ICES testing (only Emission is applicable)
The BGEMC Lab can execute EMC tests according to harmonised standards in order to prove that your product complies.
Applications
– Information Technology Equipment (ITE)
– Medical devices and appliances
– Laboratory and measuring equipment
– Automotive
– Agricultural vehicles
– Household
– Marine
– …
Standards
The table below gives an overview of the standards according to which the BGEMC lab can test.

Operating procedure
1. Full compliant testing
In case a product fails during the full compliant test an acceptable solution will be looked for, possibly we can switch free of charge to pre-compliant testing.
2. Advice: In case more in-depth research is required the advice of an independent EMC-expert can be appealed to.
3. Pre-compliant testing
Appropriate for testing a prototype (typically Radiated Emission, Conducted Emission and Radiated Immunity).
Tests are executed using the same calibrated equipment and by the same skilled test engineers.
