Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive

The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive aims to regulate the electromagnetic emissions caused by electrical or electronic equipment in order to ensure that such products do not disturb the normal functioning of radio, telecommunication, and other electrical or electronic products, which shall still be able to operate as intended.

According to the product and installations, Notified Body involvement might be required. We suggest getting in touch with a reputable lab testing company to assess your specific case.
