Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing

EMC Testing ensures that electrical and electronic devices operate correctly in their electromagnetic environment without causing or being affected by interference (EMI). This testing is mandatory before products enter the market in Qatar and internationally.

Key EMC Testing Categories

• 1. Emissions Testing

Determines how much electromagnetic noise the product emits (radiated and conducted).

Example: Measuring RF emissions to prevent interference with Wi-Fi, telecom, or medical devices.

Standard References: CISPR 11 / CISPR 22 / IEC 61000-6-3.



• 2. Immunity (Susceptibility) Testing

Evaluates how the device performs under exposure to electromagnetic disturbances, ESD, or transients.

Example: Ensuring medical or control systems continue to function during voltage spikes or electrostatic discharge.

Standards: IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD), IEC 61000-4-3 (RF Immunity), IEC 61000-4-5 (Surge).



• 3. Compliance Testing

Confirms full compliance with IEC, CISPR, FCC, and EN standards, supporting regulatory approval and global product certification.

Purpose and Benefits of EMC Testing

Ensures safe, interference-free operation of electronic products.

Supports regulatory compliance and market access.

Reduces risk of malfunction, data loss, or system failure.

Protects against electromagnetic hazards in medical, defense, and communication systems.
