Whitepaper
Get It Right Every Time with Pre-Compliance Testing
This whitepaper from Keysight Technologies advocates for implementing pre-compliance testing throughout the electronic product development cycle to reduce risks and costs associated with final compliance certification. It details how pre-compliance testing – simulating official tests in-house – offers a cost-effective method to identify and resolve EMC issues early on, minimizing expensive rework and delays. The primary test categories covered are radiated emissions, radiated immunity, conducted emissions, and electrostatic discharge (ESD). Common failure points for devices undergoing compliance testing, according to the paper, include Radiated Emissions, Radiated Immunity, Conducted Emissions, and ESD. Compliance testing requires specialized facilities meeting standards like CISPR16-1-1 while pre-compliance can be done in-house with significantly lower expenditure.
