The Importance of EMC Testing for Industrial Machinery

Published by TÜV SÜD

Industrial machinery must operate reliably in electrically noisy environments, making electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) a critical design consideration. This white paper covers the essentials of EMC for industrial equipment — from common sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the factory floor, to the global standards that govern emissions and immunity requirements, to the test methods used to verify compliance. It also offers practical guidance on integrating EMC testing into the product development cycle to help manufacturers deliver robust, compliant machinery ready for worldwide markets.
