Radiometrics Midwest provides EMC emissions and immunity testing to support CE marking for electrical and electronic products intended for the European market.
CE EMC compliance typically requires evaluation to applicable European EN standards covering both electromagnetic emissions and immunity. Depending on the product type and intended environment, testing may include CISPR/EN emissions requirements together with IEC/EN 61000-4 series immunity testing.
Radiometrics can review your product, intended use, power configuration, external interfaces, and applicable product standard to help determine the EMC testing required for your product.
CE EMC Testing Requirements
The EMC testing required for CE marking depends on the product, its intended use and environment, power configuration, and the applicable European product or product-family standard.
A complete EMC evaluation may include:
- Radiated emissions
- Conducted emissions on AC or DC power ports
- Harmonic current emissions and voltage fluctuations/flicker, when applicable
- Electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity
- Radiated RF immunity
- Electrical fast transient/burst (EFT) immunity
- Surge immunity
- Conducted RF immunity
- Power-frequency magnetic field immunity
- Voltage dips, short interruptions, and voltage variations
Radiometrics determines the applicable tests, test levels, frequency ranges, and performance criteria from the applicable standard and the product configuration.
IEC / EN 61326 EMC Testing
IEC/EN 61326 is an important EMC product-family standard for electrical equipment used for measurement, control, and laboratory applications.
Depending on the equipment and its intended electromagnetic environment, IEC/EN 61326 testing may require both emissions and immunity testing. Applicable requirements can vary for equipment intended for basic, industrial, or controlled electromagnetic environments.
Radiometrics can evaluate the product configuration and intended use to determine the applicable emissions limits and IEC 61000-4 series immunity tests and test levels required by IEC/EN 61326.
Applicable EMC Standards
Depending on the product and its intended use, CE EMC testing may be performed to a product-specific, product-family, or generic European EMC standard.
Radiometrics provides testing to applicable EN, IEC, and CISPR standards, including:
- IEC / EN 61326 — Electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use
- CISPR / EN standards for conducted and radiated emissions
- IEC / EN 61000-4 series immunity standards
- Applicable generic EMC standards when a product-specific or product-family standard does not apply
- Customer-specific EMC requirements and test plans
Radiometrics can assist in identifying the appropriate EMC test requirements when the applicable standard is not known.
CE EMC Testing at Radiometrics
Radiometrics Midwest provides both emissions and immunity testing at one laboratory, allowing a CE EMC compliance program to be coordinated from initial evaluation through final testing and reporting.
Our capabilities include radiated and conducted emissions testing together with IEC 61000-4 series immunity testing. Radiometrics can also review product power, external cables and interfaces, operating modes, support equipment, and monitoring requirements before testing begins to help identify the appropriate test program and avoid unnecessary testing or scheduling delays.
