EMC for Products

EMC for Products, formerly known as Fundamentals of EMC for Products, is a unique four-day course that will provide you with the essential knowledge required to help manage EMC and achieve EMC compliance.
An understanding of EMC is essential for the reliable operation of electrical/electronics equipment and systems for the commercial, automotive and aerospace markets. It is also essential to understand what exactly is happening during product acceptance and the route to compliance.
It is illegal to sell or operate electronic equipment or systems that are not compliant with the EMC Directive within the European Economic Area.

This course covers the basics of EMC from its underlying theory through to the standards and regulatory environment of testing, including design requirements and how to achieve EMC assurance or EMC product compliance

• Fundamentals of EM Waves and radiation mechanisms
• Decibels and the units of ‘EMC’
• The EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, it’s history, updates and implementing regulations
• Commercial EMC standards
• EMC measurement and testing
• Overview of EMC design principles
• Conducted interference (passive devices, filters, etc)
• EMC on a PCB (PCB layout, decoupling, ‘chip’ characteristics, etc)
• Screening and enclosures
• Shielding modelling case studies (illustrating shielding examples using computational software)
• Conformance workshop – case studies
• Technical documentation
• EMC management strategies

This course includes one day of demonstrations held at our UKAS accredited test Laboratory (in Castleford near Leeds), during which our experienced Test Engineers are available to answer specific testing questions you may have. The practical demonstrations illustrate the commonly required EMC tests

• Conducted emissions
• Radiated emissions
• Conducted immunity (RF, EFTB, etc)
• Radiated immunity

• Learn to manage EMC effectively and achieve EMC compliance
• Provides participants with an understanding of key subjects
• Demystifies the world of EMC regulations & standards
• Includes an all-day practical workshop at our accredited EMC test lab
• 34 continuing professional development (CPD) hours* for chartered engineers or those working towards their chartered status

• Four days with a mixture of lectures, presentations, interactive workshops and demonstrations
• One day of practical demonstrations at our UKAS accredited Test Laboratory to illustrate the commonly required EMC tests described in the EN 61000-4-x series of standards such as; conducted emissions, radiated emissions, conducted immunity and radiated immunity

Applying the knowledge and understanding from this course will improve the management of EMC and minimise the risk of unforeseen problems and project/production delays in equipment manufacture thus reducing business risk.
