EMC Directive - Directive 2014/30/EU
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive - Directive 2014/30/EU
EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) refers to the ability of equipment to neither cause nor be affected by electromagnetic interference. EMC encompasses EMI and EMS.
- EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference): Refers to electromagnetic interference, meaning the electromagnetic disturbances emitted by a device to the outside world. This term is a combination of "electromagnetic" and "interference". "Interference" implies two meanings: the performance degradation of a device due to interference and the source of the interference causing this degradation. Examples include static noise in a radio during thunderstorms, snow on a TV screen when a motorcycle passes by, or hearing radio sounds through a telephone.
- EMS (Electro Magnetic Susceptibility): Refers to the susceptibility to performance degradation due to electromagnetic energy. For simplicity, if we compare electronic devices to humans and electromagnetic energy to viruses, susceptibility would be the likelihood of catching a cold. A low susceptibility indicates strong immunity, analogous to high resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
For household appliances, the CE certification test items include:
- Space radiation
- Conducted interference
- Magnetic field radiation
- Power radiation
- Voltage flicker
- Harmonics
- Electrostatic discharge
- Radiated immunity
- Electrical fast transient/burst
- Surge/lightning
- Voltage dips/interruptions
European EMC refers to the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2014/30/EU. All electronic and electrical products destined for Europe must meet the relevant electromagnetic compatibility standards, such as those in the European EMC harmonized standards.
