EMC TESTS
EMC directive
When a product is placed on the European market, it must be marked with the "CE" symbol.
The CE marking allows consumers to see that the product meets European directives .
Directive 2014/30/EU on electromagnetic compatibility is one of the various directives to be observed for CE marking.
This directive applies to all electrical and electronic devices.
The directive has 2 essential requirements in Annex I.
Devices must not unduly disturb their electromagnetic environment.
The devices must not be disturbed beyond measure by the electromagnetic environment in which they are located.
EMC testing
In order to demonstrate compliance with the EMC Directive and its essential requirements, it is essential to carry out tests according to harmonized standards.
Different organizations produce standards that can be used for testing: SN / EN / ISO / CISPR / IEC
These standards are used in particular for:
Radiated emissions / immunity tests
Conducted emissions/immunity tests
Electrostatic Discharge Immunity Tests
Shielding effectiveness tests
anechoic chamber
EMC testing requires specific hardware and environment. In particular, an anechoic chamber is required in order to cut off all external disturbances which could distort the measurement.
Measurements are made inside the EMC test chamber using a directed antenna. It is customary for the whole of this measurement chain to be calibrated. The test protocol for CE or FCC marking provides for a search for the most unfavorable position of the device under test.
