What is EMC/EMI testing?

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)/ electromagnetic interference (EMI) testing is an integral part of electronic devices’ design and manufacturing processes. Several regulatory bodies such as the FDA, FCC, and ISO have specific limits regarding the emissions that an electronic device has to emit. The EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) testing ensures the device meets reliability and safety standards that ensure it will not harm users nor interfere with the operation of other equipment or fail to operate as intended due to interference from other equipment’s emissions.
