Increasing automation, wireless communication and security requirements these days reveal the importance of EMC tests more. The reason for this is to ensure the smooth and safe operation of electronic and electromechanical devices or systems.
EMC is short for Electromagnetic Compatibility. Electromagnetic Compatibility means that electronic and electromechanical devices and systems perform their intended operation in their intended environment without interfering with each other. If EMC Tests
These are the tests carried out to fulfill the requirements related to Electromagnetic Compatibility. There are two basic conditions regarding EMC. These;
Does not affect other devices or systems in the environment. (Emission)
Unaffected by other devices or systems in the environment. (Immunity)
As an example of emission standards from EMC Tests; CISPR11, CISPR14-1, CISPR15, CISPR32, 61000-3-2, 61000-3-3 can be given.
As an example of immunity standards from EMC Tests; 61000-4-2, 61000-4-3, 61000-4-4, 61000-4-5, 61000-4-6, 61000-4-8, 61000-4-11 can be given.
An electronic or electromechanical device manufacturer must pass the EMC Tests of the device it produces for EMC compliance. Each country issues its own EMC regulations. These regulations often refer to multinational regulations. For example, European Union countries refer to the 2014/30/EU EMC directive. Many countries must ensure that companies that import or sell a product comply with the laws or directives of the country in which the product is imported or sold. For European Union countries, this conformity mark is CE (EU Conformity mark).
One of the important points in EMC Tests is to perform tests of the device according to the most appropriate standards. First, it is investigated whether the device or system has an EMC product standard. If there is no existing EMC product standard, the EMC product family standard is searched. If there is no EMC product family standard, EMC general standards are used. These standards refer to EMC core standards.
