EMC for efficiency and safety in production
xEMC tests for industrial electronics are of crucial importance for their reliable operation and the safety of users. They are carried out in accordance with international standards such as the CISPR series of standards (in particular CISPR 11, CISPR 22 and CISPR 32) and the IEC 61000 series, which are recognized worldwide.
These tests evaluate immunity to ensure that industrial electronic devices are not disrupted by electromagnetic fields that might be generated by other systems, such as machines, control cabinets, or communication equipment. Electrostatic discharges (ESD), fast transient disturbances (bursts), and overvoltages (surge) are critical challenges that must be addressed with appropriate protective measures to prevent malfunctions.
Noise emission testing is also crucial to ensure that industrial electronic devices do not generate electromagnetic interference in their surroundings that could interfere with other electronic devices or operational equipment. This is particularly important in industrial environments, where the stability and reliability of the equipment are essential for the operation of machinery and process control systems.
Another key aspect of EMC testing for industrial electronics is achieving CE conformity. By complying with EMC standards in accordance with European Union (EU) requirements, manufacturers can ensure that their products meet the essential requirements regarding safety, health, and environmental protection as set forth in the relevant EU directives.
In summary, EMC testing supports the compliance of industrial electronics with global EMC standards, contributes to user safety and increases confidence in products by ensuring reliability and functionality in industrial environments.

FAQ
What you should know about our EMC test procedure
As a rule, you will receive the test report no later than the next working day after a successful test session.
The documentation is provided exclusively in digital form for download with an encryption function.
We offer each of our interested parties and customers a preliminary meeting.
The most important parameters for a successful test session are discussed here.
Very much so!
We have several methods for identifying the source of interference and, in the best case, eliminating it.
This depends on the test and test item parameters and is always very individual.
Thanks to our inquiry process, we are able to calculate a realistic time expenditure, which we are happy to include in the quotation.
It often happens that we have one or two slots free.
Simply get in touch with us and we will find the best date solution together.
