EMI Regulations?
It is almost hard to find places in our modern world where no electronics can be located. Most areas have a multitude of professional and personal electronics all operating at the same time. Electronic components cause electromagnetic interference in their surrounding environments. This interference will negatively affect the performance of electronic systems that are near. Interferences can range from minor annoyances to life-threatening problems. For instance, medical devices are vulnerable to EMI, which can cause systems to give wrong readings or to short-out.
Since the early 80s, the FCC has mandated testing EMI of computers (PCs and commercial). By the 90s, most developed countries had specific regulations regarding EMI.
For someone to safely use electronics, devices must be compatible with the electromagnetic environment. Machines cannot emit levels of EM energy either.
To ensure that EM energy is contained, products must go through many tests. These tests show engineers how much EMI is leaking and where it is mostly coming from. Once testing is done, EMI shields can be built to protect devices. We will create custom EMI shields based on the needs of your specific device application.
Working with FCC regulations is not always enough. Following predetermined limits will work most of the time, but for specific materials and applications, they do not provide adequate protection. That is why military limits are 30 times higher than commercial limits. Aviation standards should be more than 1000 times stricter than commercial limits.
