New products are launched and delivered every week to the market these days. Such a speedy pace in the processes of manufacturing and delivering of products can lead to lots of pressure and other major problems related to quality of the products. Since products are released to the market due to the larger demand, they are being brought to the market on a quicker and cheaper basis, though no compromise on quality is done. Electrical and electronic products should be hence of higher quality and must be safe enough to be handled in our environment. For checking whether electrical and electronic products are safer, a series of testing processes are done. EMC testing procedures are a must in every the country round the world.
An example for such a testing procedure that ensures that electronic and electrical products are electromagnetic compatible is called Electromagnetic compatibility test or EMC. Those devices that do not pass the EMC requirements will be stopped at the customs or will be recalled. Such an issue can have a negative effect on the brand and it will lead to a large number of losses for the company that has manufactured the product. It is for these reasons that most electrical and electronic devices have to comply with the requirements of the EMC. And most countries have made emc compliance a mandatory one.
Electrical and Electronic devices are able to emit electromagnetic fields. Since man is surrounded by a large number of devices these days, both in office and at home, the chances of risk are larger. Different devices like television, computer, radio, cell phones, and lots of other devices emit electromagnetic waves. The risk of the waves interfering with the other equipment can bring about dangerous hazards. Hence an emc certification on such products is extremely essential for our safety.
Since there is a larger demand for emc equipments these days, they are provided for rental as for sales purposes. Some of the major EMC test tools include Cable fault locators, transformer turns ration, AC power electrical meters, Hipot testers, Impulse generators, Circuit breaker or high current test sets and lots of others.
Electronic electrical equipments are subject to a whole lot of regulations in each and every part of the world. Most governments make sure that such products are electrically safe and have electromagnetic noise immunity and electromagnetic noise radiation. Compliance engineering makes sure that the products, especially the electrical and electronic ones, are released to the market after a process of tests that abide by the rules and regulations of a particular government. In certain countries, a c-tick certification is a mandatory factor.
Countries like New Zealand and Australia make sure that the electronic and electrical equipment that are released in their market has passed a c-tick testing and has an a-tick certification too. Certain equipment tends to give out electromagnetic radiations. Hence such products need to have an RF shielding for cutting short the risks.
AUTHOR BIO: Reina Mc’Fernandes, a professor of Science & Technology says that EMC services are offered in many places these days and for getting an EMI certificate, you need to test your electronic/electrical products, or else you will not be able to successfully provide the products to the market. EMC test equipment can help you to calculate the wave density an electronic/electrical product emits. By checking with the help of this equipment, you can be assured of releasing your products without any hassles.
