EMC — Electromagnetic Compatibility
We support testing, reporting and conformity processes for the electromagnetic compatibility of devices (2014/30/EU).
Related HS chapters
Chapter information is indicative; the actual obligation depends on the product's function.
The Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2014/30/EU) requires a device not to emit electromagnetic interference above acceptable limits, and to be immune to such interference itself. For most electrical and electronic products EMC comes together with low voltage obligations; the two require separate test reports, and the file is not complete while either is missing.
What this service covers
- EMC scope assessment and identification of the required test set
- Adequacy review of EMC test reports — emission and immunity
- Conformity assessment and review of the declaration
- Technical file review
- Management of additional obligations for products falling under radio equipment rules

Most common mistakes
Most common mistakes
The items below are the rejection grounds we encounter most often in practice. We check every one of them before filing.
- Carrying out emission testing only and skipping immunity testing
- Test report not reflecting the product's final configuration
- Relying on EMC alone for a product containing a radio module
- Declaration of conformity making no reference to an EMC standard
