For a product to be classified as Electromagnetically Compatible, is has to be able to operate as intended within a defined environment without fault or degradation of its performance and neither shall it cause a problem to any other product operating within that same environment. EMC is divided into two main areas, namely that of immunity (the ability to withstand electromagnetic interference from other products/systems) and emissions (a level of disturbance the product is permitted to emit). Is there a need for all of this concern? Yes there is with today's digital systems. When noise appears on the base of these devices, it can have a major influence on the products performance, often killing its operation altogether. How can we resolve the problem? First we have to establish if you have a problem and the way we do that is to measure or test your product against International Standards. Not all products need to be measured or tested, passive products are not required to be tested for marketing in the EU or in many other Country's in the World. Be warned, distinguishing what is a passive product and what is not is not always easy. However, CEG Consulting can help you get through this confusion with our Consultancy service who will help you identify the correct route to conformity. If the testing shows that you do have a problem, then again, using our Consultancy service, we can help you establish a cure for your problem, after which, once included within your manufacturing build standard, you will be able to affix the CE marking as required by the Directives. On the other hand, you might not be looking at the EU market place but perhaps the United States of America (USA). There, all electromagnetic products come under the requirements of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Again, CEG Consulting can help. What other service can CEG Consulting offer me? The important factor for your Company is to get the design of your product right and to get it right first time. Designing a product to functionally work correctly and do what it is designed to do is one thing, but to get it to continue doing it in an unknown electromagnetic environment without causing problems to other equipments/apparatus sharing that environment or for that other equipment/apparatus to affect the performance of your product is another. That is where our EMC training packages come in. We can offer packages to suit your requirements covering the legislative aspects of the EMC World as well as the in depth design guidance course. The packages can be tailored for the various levels of management/engineers within your Company so that the right people get the right type of training. What sort of packages are there? There are three different areas covered in out training packages. The first covers the legislative aspects including the common European Directives, the second are mainly for the design engineers as they have in depth coverage of electronics, pcb’s and mechanical structures and the third are for the field engineers looking after your products once they are in the field. Our training courses cover the following: Engineering Courses 1. Pcb and mechanical layout 2. Electromagnetic Compatibility Design · Cables & Coupling mechanisms · Digital circuitry · Shielding · Grounding & Bonding · Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) · Suppression devices Legislative Courses EU Directives · EMC · LVD · Machinery · TTE · Medical Devices · Technical construction file Australian/New Zealand requirements USA
