EN 55032 Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing

EN 55032 Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

Standard-Related Information

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing is a crucial aspect of product development, ensuring that electronic devices function correctly in various electromagnetic environments without causing interference or being affected by it. The European Unions New Approach Directive 2014/30/EU on the limitation of the effects of electromagnetic fields on human health and the environment mandates that products comply with specific EMC standards.

EN 55032 is one such standard, which specifies the requirements for radio disturbance characteristics of electrical equipment. This standard applies to a wide range of products, including household appliances, industrial equipment, medical devices, and automotive systems. Compliance with EN 55032 ensures that electronic devices do not generate electromagnetic interference (EMI) that could impact other electronic systems or cause health hazards.
