Facing up to the realities of EMC
Article Abstract:
Small companies feel threatened by the introduction of European Community laws on electromagnetic compatibility. Certification costs of 15,000 pounds sterling would make small projects economically unviable. Small firms may close. Some managers are considering using test houses instead of self-certification. However, most managers believe EMC is consistent with good design practice and should be considered in the early stages of design. Larger companies are less worried by the regulations.

Technology eases EMC conformance
Article Abstract:
European Community directives on electromagnetic compatibilty will become mandatory from Jan 1, 1996. The directives will make the production of equipment that causes interference illegal. The UK Department of Trade and Industry has produced guidance on reducing compliance costs. Simple domestic testing will reduce testing costs. More rigorous testing by test houses will be expensive. However, Farnell Instruments is developing a budget testing system that should be available in early 1994.

How to comply with the EMC deadline: what does the CE market for EMC mean to you?
Article Abstract:
The CE mark on products will effectively supersede BS marks but it is currently an assurance of safety compliance only. Any electrical products sold in EC markets must bear the CE mark from January 1996 and must assure compliance with safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) compliance. This is achieve by restricting the transmission of spurious signals from systems, and reduce their susceptibility to interference from radio signals.
