Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
What is EMC?
The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive is a piece of legislation in the European Union aimed at ensuring that electrical and electronic equipment does not generate, or is not affected by, electromagnetic interference that could impair its performance or that of other equipment. The directive helps to ensure that electronic devices and systems can coexist harmoniously without causing or suffering from interference.
