Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2014/30/EU)

In today life, we are all surrounding with the Electronics Products. Form Household products to industrial application, electronics is everywhere. We are all familiar with the benefits of all these products but there are some hidden harmful effect which comes in terms of electromagnetic radiations.

Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive

Electronics Products

All emit electromagnetic radiations, some has higher and some has less radiations level. These radiations not only effect human health but also one device influence other device or got influenced. Devices which are interconnected or near each other produces interference which may affect normal functioning of that product. Products like TV sets, GSM handsets, radios and nearby washing machine, industrial machinery or electrical power lines produces interference. We can’t reduce these radiation to zero but can reduce them significantly so that it mat effect less.

Legislation Documents

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive (2014/30/EU) is the EU legislation documents ensure that the electrical and electronic equipment does not generate, or is not affected by, electromagnetic disturbance/radiations. EMC Directive was published on 29 March 2014 and repealed Directive 2004/108/EC as from 20 April 2016.

Equipment

The main objectives of the directive is to regulate the compatibility of equipment regarding EMC. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive (2014/30/EU) limits the equipment electromagnetic emissions and ensure that the equipment, used as intended, such equipment does not disturb radio and telecommunication, as well as other equipment. Same is applicable for the immunity side. The immunity of such equipment to interference and seeks to ensure that this equipment is not disturbed by radio emissions. Electronics products are also need to be assess as per Low Voltage Directive (2014/30/EU)

EMC Types

Since we have seen electronics component everywhere so we have wide range of harmonised standards to complies the EMC requirements. EMC is basically three types:
