Electromagnetic compatibility: EMC testing in China

Electromagnetic compatibility

EMC testing for compliance with the EMC Directive

Electromagnetic compatibility means that a device does not emit electromagnetic interference. This is necessary because otherwise all electronic devices would influence and interfere with each other. As part of the EMC testing according to Directive 2014/30/EU on electromagnetic compatibility, it is therefore tested whether devices comply with the requirements. Of course, the directive also applies to imported goods: EMC compliance for products from China is just as necessary as for domestically produced goods.

Product groups covered by the EMC Directive are, for example:

• Industrial technology
• Consumer electronics
• Automotive Engineering
• Aerospace technology
• Medical Technology
• Information Technology

The EMC test is also part of the CE marking and the declaration of conformity for these product groups.

CE marking and conformity assessment

CE marking is done to show that a product complies with harmonized EU requirements. It is an expression of manufacturer responsibility, of which EMC testing in China can be a part. Conformity assessment according to ISO/IEC 17000 is performed to ensure conformity with the Product Safety Act. Depending on the product group, it includes further tests according to various guidelines. In addition to the EMC Directive, these may include, for example:

• Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU
• Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
• ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU
• Medical Devices Directive

EMC compliance for products from China

Anyone who imports products from China to Germany is liable for their quality and for any damage caused by them. EMC compliance for products from China is therefore not an optional option, but a mandatory requirement. Agentur Frisch will help you meet this obligation. We have our own laboratories where EMC testing can be done in China.
