EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testing is conducted to ensure that electronic and electrical products do not emit excessive electromagnetic interference (EMI) and can operate in their intended electromagnetic environment without being adversely affected. EMC testing involves both emissions testing and immunity testing. Testing is usually carried out in specialized EMC testing laboratories using sophisticated EMC testing products/equipment and standardized test procedures. The testing is essential to comply with international standards and regulations, which vary depending on the industry and the country where the products will be sold. By subjecting products to EMC testing, manufacturers can ensure their products operate reliably and safely without causing interference to other devices or being disrupted by external electromagnetic sources.
everything RF has compiled a list of EMC testing products that are new and trending on the website in August. For more information on EMC testing products, visit the EMC Hub on everything RF. We keep users up to date with new products, news, whitepapers, webinars, and events.
