Where to Apply for CE EMC Certificate?(图1)


What is CE Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)?

EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive) refers to the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive.

 

The EMC directive is numbered 2014/30/EU and came into effect on April 18, 2014. The previous EMC directive, 2004/108/EC, was repealed on April 20, 2016.

 

With the development of electrical and electronic technology, the increasing popularity and electronization of household appliances, the rapid development of broadcasting, telecommunications, and computer networks, the electromagnetic environment has become increasingly complex and deteriorated. This has led to increased attention from governments and manufacturers worldwide on the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues of electrical and electronic products, including electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS). The European Community government has mandated that from January 1, 1996, all electrical and electronic products must pass EMC certification and bear the CE mark before being sold in the European Community market. This move has had a wide impact globally, prompting many governments to take measures to enforce EMC performance in electrical and electronic products. According to the EU EMC Directive 83/336/EEC, all electronic and electrical products sold in the EU market must strictly comply with EU legal requirements regarding interference with other products and immunity to external influences.

 

Besides the directive addressing mechanical hazards, the EU has issued the Machinery Directive 89/392. To harmonize permissible levels of electromagnetic interference among EU member states, the EU Council issued the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC on May 3, 1989, which has been subsequently revised by directives 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC.

 

Definition of EMC

Before explaining the compliance process with the EMC directive, the definition of EMC is as follows:

A device or system can operate normally without being affected by electromagnetic interference when operating simultaneously with other devices. This includes:

 

EMI (Electromagnetic Interference):

An undesired and meaningless signal that appears during the operation of a device or system, which may originate externally or internally. Electromagnetic interference can be considered in two directions:

 

- CE (Conducted Emission): Conducted emissions

- RE (Radiated Emission): Radiated emissions

 

EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility):

The ability of a device or system to operate without being affected by the surrounding electromagnetic environment. Electromagnetic susceptibility can be considered in two directions:

 

- CS (Conducted Susceptibility): Conducted susceptibility

- RS (Radiated Susceptibility): Radiated susceptibility

 

Scope of EMC Certification

According to Article 2.1 of the directive, the EMC directive applies to all devices that are likely to generate electromagnetic interference or whose functionality is likely to be affected by such interference.

 

Annex III of the EMC directive lists the following instruments and devices:

- Household radio and television receivers

- Industrial manufacturing equipment

- Mobile radios

- Mobile radios and commercial mobile phones

- Medical and scientific equipment

- Information technology equipment

- General electrical and household appliances

- Aviation and marine radio equipment

- Educational electronic equipment

- Telecommunication networks and instruments

- Lighting and fluorescent lamps
