| Product Marking | |
| To show that it meets the EMC Standards, all required equipment must display the CE (or Conformité Européen) mark. Wherever it is used, the CE mark indicates that products comply with the relevant European Directives for safety, health, environment and consumer protection. (Radio communications transmitting equipment should also display the symbol from the Notified Body). | |
| What are the new EMC Regulations? | |
| With very few specific exceptions, from January 1st 1996, all new electrical and electronic equipment made and sold in the European Union must now conform to European Harmonised EMC Standards. The revised protection standards regulate the electromagnetic emissions generated by electrical and electronic equipment, as well as its immunity from received EMC disturbance. The European Harmonised EMC Standards go further than any standards in the world and bring to civil electronics the strict EMC standards that previously only applied to military and avionics projects. The EMC regulations apply to all newly-manufactured equipment which ‘has an intrinsic function’ for the end user. Items which can be described as components are excluded and equipment supplied to an OEM may not need to be CE-marked. Where the distinction between components and equipment may be blurred, there are guidelines from EMCTLA (the EMC Test Labs Association), which are recognised by the European Commission. | |
