Electromagnetic Phenomena Covered by the EMC Directive |
The EMC Directive states that the electric and electronic apparatus shall be so constructed that :
These are general requirements which apply to all products as concerned with a view to controlling all EMC risks The protection requirements of the EMC directive are laid down in terms of objectives, while the limit values and methods of measurements must be given in the harmonised standards. To allow a systematic approach to the development of a harmonised standard for the implementation of the EMC Directive the standardisation bodies (CENELEC, IEC) have established a classification of electromagnetic phenomena. The EMC standards should cover in principle four items :
EMC harmonised standard will, of course, cover only the disturbances which are relevant to the specific products. |
