Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

For any electronic device when it is under operation, produced EM wave is likely to be transferred and emitted through space and connected medias, interfering to all nearby electronic devices; making their performance degradations or malfunctions. This interfering device at the same time, is immune or susceptible to interferences from those nearby devices in the same environment. EMI (Interference) and EMS (Electromagnetic Compatibility Susceptibility) phenomena are coexistence and one with two sides. Thus, any electronic device in design, in addition to functionality, accommodating limited EMI and adequate EMS shall be required.

EMC Testing

The EMC characteristics have already been concerned and as one of conditions for manufacturers when designing devices. Most of countries, have established similar rules regulating EMC, only devices that comply with such regulations can be sold, distributed and used. However, to verify these rules defined by regulations, it’s necessary to rely on a professional independent laboratory to perform relevant EMC tests. Thus, SGS EMC Laboratory – a professional third party, with long history, rich technical resources and experience, providing in-time countermeasures and concerning total solution services, is definitely priority to be selected.

EMC Test Site

To meet regulation requirements, fitting for different testing items, SGS has constructed different kind of related testing sites, as below：

• 10m Open Area Test Site – OATS
• 3m Fully Anechoic Chamber – FAC
• 10/3m Semi Anechoic Chamber – SAC
• Shielding Room – SR
