What is EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)?

IEC vocabulary, Electrodpedia and EMC Directive 2014/30/EU defines EMC as ‘ability of equipment or a system to function satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without introducing intolerable electromagnetic disturbances to anything in that environment’.

Electromagnetic environment is defined as ‘totality of electromagnetic phenomena existing at a given location’. And electromagnetic disturbances is defined as ‘electromagnetic phenomenon that can degrade the performance of a device, equipment or system, or adversely affect living or inert matter’

Why EMC testing is required?

EMC testing is a requirement for most of the electrical products which emits or might be subjected to electromagnetic disturbance. All electrical devices or installations influence each other when interconnected or located close to each other, e.g. interference between TV sets, GSM handsets, radios and nearby washing machine or electrical power lines. The purpose of EMC testing is to keep all those side effects under reasonable control.

EMC testing ensures that electrical and electronic equipment does not generate electromagnetic emissions exceeding the limits and is immune enough when it is exposed to disturbing signals. Lower emissions, high immunity performances are intented EMC test results. Thus, EMC tests are categorized into two main group: emissions and immunity.

Each country or region applies their own legislation to regulation EMC of products. Europe regulates EMC requirements through CE marking directives like EMC or RED. In United States, FCC regulates EMC related products with its FCC articles. FCC Part 15B is the famous one. Japan applies VCCI marking, South Korea applies KC marking for EMC. Thus, when having EMC testing service, your product’s market is essential to define its EMC compliance requirements.

If an electrical product can electromagnetically affect its environment or it can be electromagnetically affected, EMC tests should be applied to that product. Applicable EMC tests are defined by considering the technical specifications of the product, the regulation and test standard to be applied.

Which regulations and standards require EMC testing?

There are various regulations and standards related to EMC tests. Some of them are listed below:

EMC Directive 2014/30/EU,

Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU,

Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC ,

Medical Device Directive 93/42/EC,

Avionics RTCA DO-160,

Automotive Regulation No UN ECE R10.

How Europe regulates EMC?

European Commission of EU published Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2014/30/EU. The main objective of the EMC Directive is to guarantee the free movement of equipment and to create an acceptable electromagnetic environment whilst ensuring that equipment will function as intended in that environment. In order to achieve it, a harmonised and acceptable level of protection is required by the Directive, leading to full harmonisation in the EU.

Since some articles of EMC Directive (2014/30/EU) is written with legal terms, additional official guides can be followed to understand it better. EU published its guide about EMC, you can click here: Guide for the EMCD (Directive 2014/30/EU)

European countries adapt EMC Directive to their national legislation by translating the directive into their local languages and mandating it by adapting their law. 

How United States regulates EMC?

FCC and FDA are the governmental organization of US regulating the EMC. FCC regulates almost all electrical and electronic products, except defense and medical devices. Electromagnetic Compatibility Division of FCC is focusing on EMC studies. FCC articles are limiting the emissions of products by setting some freqency ranges and limit tables. FCC does not require immunity requirements. However, FDA requires both emissions and immunity of medical devices. FDA guides are helpful to understand EMC requirements of medical devices. 

What are test site requirements for EMC testing? 

EMC tests are performed in special test rooms (RF shielded enclosures, cabinets and anechoic chambers) which are validated according to chamber performance standards. NSA, sVSWR, Shielding Effectiveness, Field Uniformity validations of these test sites ensure that the site is proper to perform full-compliance EMC tests. Two of the EMC tests requires anechoic chamber for fully compliance testing: Radiated Emissions and Radiated Immunity (or Immunity Against Radiated Fields). These two radiated tests require an RF isolated test environment with low ambient noise and non-reflective inner surfaces. RF isolation is ensured by metallic shielding panels and inner reflections are minimized with RF absorbing materials. During Radiated Immunity tests in an anechoic chamber Equipment Under Test (EUT) is subjected to electric-field. Applied electric field shall be uniform and this uniformity depends on the chamber’s field uniformity. 

What is an anechoic chamber?

An anechoic chamber is a room designed to completely absorb reflections of either sound or electromagnetic waves. They are also often isolated from waves entering from their surroundings.

There are different types of EMC anechoic chambers: semi-anechoic, fully-anechoic and reverberation chambers are the three well know types. All inner surfaces of Fully Anechoic Chamber (FAC) or Fully Anechoic Room (FAR) are covered by RF absorbing materials like ferrite tiles or pyramidial absorbers. However Semi Anechoic Chamber (SAC)’s floor is not covered by RF absorbing materials and the floor shall be ground plane.

Which tests are applied for EMC?

EMC test is not a single test, it is a general term for whole applicable EMC tests for a specific product. EMC tests are applied after the product standard is determined. Name of each test is given on that standard. EMC tests can be listed as follows:

  1. Radiated Emission (It is tested whether the electromagnetic signals in the product tested through EMC antennas are below limits)
  2. Conducted Emission (It is tested whether the electromagnetic emission caused by the tested product’s cables is below the limits)
  3. Electrostatic Discharge – ESD (IEC/EN 61000-4-2)
  4. Radiated Immunity (IEC/EN 61000-4-3)
  5. Electrical Fast Transient / Burst (IEC/EN 61000-4-4)
  6. Surge (IEC/EN 61000-4-5)
  7. Conducted Immunity (IEC/EN 61000-4-6)
  8. Voltage dips, short interruptions and voltage variations (IEC/EN 61000-4-11)
  9. Harmonic Current Emissions (IEC/EN 61000-3-2)
  10. Voltage Changes, Voltage Fluctuations and Flicker (IEC/EN 61000-3-3)
