CE-EMC Standards Interpretation

ce-emc Certification

The CE-EMC Directive (2014/30/EU) aims to ensure that electrical and electronic equipment can operate properly in an electromagnetic environment without causing interference to other devices or the environment.

The CE-EMC Directive covers a wide range of electrical and electronic equipment, including household appliances, radio and television receivers, industrial manufacturing equipment, mobile radio devices, medical and scientific instruments, information technology equipment, telecommunications networks and equipment, lighting equipment and fluorescent lamps, and electro-educational devices.

The CE-EMC Directive does notapply to components without direct functions, such as resistors, capacitors, coils, rectifiers, and integrated circuits; nor to components with direct functions such as plug-in cards for computer systems, microprocessor cards, and elevator controllers.
