Introduction to EMC

Training Course

//CONTACT us

This course provides an introduction to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for those that are new to EMC or need a refresher. The basics of EMC are explained together with the method of demonstrating compliance with the EU EMC Directive 2014/30/EU for CE marking and UK EMC regulations for UKCA Marking and other relevant directives and regulations. Electromagnetic resilience for safety is outlined. The types of EMC standards and EMC testing are described.

TÜV SÜD additionally offers the opportunity to deliver this training as a dedicated in-house course, delivered solely to your organisation to meet your needs and requirements. To receive a quote and find out more information, please contact us at [email protected]
