"The bottom line is that any electrical product containing transmitting or digital circuitry (that generates and uses timing pulses in excess of 10KHz) must comply with various regulated standards… by law. It's your job as a product development manager or executive to see to it that your products do comply."


Is this article for you?

This article is directed to the product development manager or executive who has responsibility for ensuring that any product, which contains digital or wireless transmitting/receiving circuitry, complies with various standards controlling electromagnetic emissions. These days such compliance is not a choice; it is mandated by various laws in most countries of the world and must be met before any such product can be advertised for sale, sold, imported or exported.

The supporting, technical detail for the following, general discussion should be well known by the engineers designing your products and need not be on your plate. Be sure to find out if your designer engineers are up to speed on the details and techniques… If not, then you need to obtain such expertise to guide your product design appropriately.

We'll start the discussion of EMC right at the top and keep it at the management level; technical detail can be obtained from your engineers and from the references listed throughout.
