Automotive Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Test

EMC Tests for Automotive

Automotive EMC testing is the process of measuring the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of a car and its components. Each part, from car radios to motors, needs to be tested to see how the electromagnetic fields interact and to determine if any part generates electromagnetic interference (EMI). EMC tests are now becoming more important as automotive RF design becomes more complex and manufacturers integrate 4G, WiFi and Bluetooth technology into their cars. Emerging markets, such as electric and automatic cars, contribute to this complexity in design. When a dashboard communicates with control systems and each other, RF noise and emissions are full of active ingredients that generate potential EMI sources. EMC compliance,

Basic EMC Tests in Automotive

For cars, EMC testing is essential for both EMI immunity and EMI emission levels; they are divided into four different types:

  • Radiated Emissions (RE),
  • Conducted Emissions (CE),
  • Radiated Immunity (RI),
  • Conducted Immunity (CI).

EMI Certificate

How is EMI Test done?

If the device causes any electromagnetic interference

EMI do, electromagnetic interference tests, radio frequency wave operating devices, malicious broadcasts, operating frequency and output power controls.If it is determined that the device does not cause any electromagnetic interference in such an environment, The device is successful in the EMI Test.
if the device is causing any electromagnetic interference, CE certification cannot be given to the device under test as it may disrupt the operation of other devices.

Telecommunication devices that do not meet EMI Test requirements

The devices covered by the Radio Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive must meet the EMI Test requirements in order to obtain CE certification.In the scope of the directive, all radio and telecommunication equipment, such as mobile phones, satellite receivers, fixed and direct phones, ADSL modem and other data modems, base stations, radio and TV transmitters, must meet the EMI Test requirements. Telecommunication devices that do not meet the EMI Test requirements may disrupt other devices or disrupt their operation.Likewise, these devices can also be damaged by interference due to this electromagnetic interference.Therefore, a telecommunication device must meet the requirements of the EMI test in order to obtain a CE certificate.

EMI test is carried out by the engineers in laboratory environment by considering different conditions. Whether or not the device causes electromagnetic interference is controlled by the Radio Telecommunication Terminal Equipment Directive with different variations.If the device does not cause any interference, it is approved for the CE certificate. Since the device or products must have CE marking in order to be circulated in the European Union free market, it is mandatory to apply EMI Test to the telecommunication products.

If the device does not cause any interference

After being tested in EMI test laboratories, being careful during the report and document phase is also very important for getting CE certificate. It is therefore necessary to be careful when choosing test laboratories.

What is EMI Test?

EMI, electromagnetic interference tests, radio frequency wave operating devices, malicious transmissions, operating frequency and output power controls. If it is determined that the device does not cause any electromagnetic interference in the environment according to these criteria, the device will be successful in the EMI Test. However, if the device is causing any electromagnetic interference, CE certification cannot be given to the device under test as it may impair the operation of other devices.

What happens as a result of the incompatibility of EMI Test conditions?

The devices under the Radio Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive must meet the EMI Test requirements in order to obtain CE certification. All radio and telecommunication equipment, such as mobile phones, satellite receivers, fixed and direct telephones, ADSL modem and other data modems, base stations, radio and TV transmitters, must meet the EMI Test requirements. Telecommunication devices which do not have EMI Test conditions may disrupt other devices or disrupt their operation. Likewise, these devices can also be damaged by interference due to this electromagnetic interference. Therefore, a telecommunication device must meet the requirements of the EMI test to obtain a CE certificate.

EMI Test application and certification

EMI test is carried out by the engineers in the laboratory environment in consideration of different conditions. Whether the device causes electromagnetic interference is controlled by different variations within the scope of the Radio Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive. If the device does not cause any interference, it may be eligible for a CE certificate and a certificate of conformity cannot be issued if an interference is detected. EMI test is mandatory for the telecommunication products, as the device or products are required to have CE marking in order to circulate in the European Union free market.

EMC Test, which controls the electromagnetic compatibility of the devices and is required for the electronic devices to obtain CE certification, is a test that must be performed by qualified engineers in qualified laboratories. An electrical or electronic device must be subject to EMC testing to be available for sale in the free market. However, in case of incorrect or incomplete applications in EMC testing stages,prevents the device from receiving CE certification. For this reason, the EMC test equipment must be tested in the qualified laboratories and by specialist engineers.Faults or incorrect applications in the test phase may restart the device’s CE Certificate, resulting in market losses and financial losses.

EMC test, electronic or electrical components, working in harmony with other devices and not damaging the devices in the environment and that it ensures that the electromagnetic compatibility meets the requirement of electromagnetic compatibility to continue to work without being affected by these devices.If a device receives a negative report from the EMC Test, this means that the device may interfere with other electrical or electromagnetic devices or may affect operating standards. Since more than one electrical or electronic device is widely used in both industrial and domestic applications, It is essential that electrical or electronic devices have this condition. In addition to user benefits,EMC Test, which is one of the conditions required to obtain a CE certification of a device, is an important test phase for the safety and availability of the device.

EMC Laboratories for EMC testing

EMC Tests, This is a test which must be applied by the engineers who are experts in this field in the correct laboratory conditions.If the EMC Test is improper or incomplete, or if the documentation is not sent correctly,Since the CE certificate will have a negative impact on the process, It is necessary to pay attention to the criteria to be safe and qualified for the organization to be tested.

European CE Marking Strategy for Medical Devices

To sell medical devices in the European Union (EU), you must obtain or apply CE Marking for your product. CE Marking indicates a product’s compliance with the applicable EU regulations and enables the commercialization of your products in 32 European countries. As a legal medical device manufacturer, you are responsible for maintaining regulatory compliance and securing CE marking for your product, regardless of whether you outsource any or all components of your manufacturing operation.

How to obtain CE marking for your medical device

CE is not a quality mark, but compliance with EU Directives requires you to meet specific standards of performance, quality, safety, and efficacy for your product type. We have a detailed chart explaining the current The basic process follows these steps:

  1. Determine which EU Directive applies to your device: Medical Devices Directive (93/42/EEC), In Vitro Diagnostic Devices Directive (98/79/EC) or Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive (90/385/EEC)
  2. Determine the classification of your device.
  3. Implement a Quality Management System, if applicable to your device. Most companies use ISO 13485 to meet the requirements.
  4. Prepare a CE Marking Technical File or a Design Dossier
  5. Select and appoint a European Authorized Representative to act on your behalf within the EU if you have no physical location in Europe.
  6. Have your QMS and Technical File/Design Dossier audited by a Notified Body, unless your device is Class I, is not sterile and has no measuring function.
  7. Obtain CE Marking and ISO 13485 certificates from your Notified Body.
  8. Prepare a Declaration of Conformity (DoC), which states that your device complies with the appropriate Directive.

How is the EMC Test performed?

How EMC Test performed

The EMC test is a test of the electromagnetic compatibility of a device. EMC test, which must be done in accordance with the criteria determined by the test institutes or laboratories, have two options military standards and civilian standards Military standards are tests applied to products identified by the US and used for military purposes. Civil standards document the suitability of electrical or electronic devices used in daily life. These standards are national or international standards determined by home, industry or heavy industry usage.

The conformity of the EMC Test indicates that an electronic or electrical device is working in harmony with other devices. Products that disrupt the devices or their operation by affecting the operation or structure of other electrical or electronic devices due to electromagnetic field cannot obtain EMC compliance. The EMC test checks whether the devices are self-adaptive, electromagnetic interference with other devices, and whether they are immune to interference from other devices.

EMC test for electrical and electronic equipment, it is extremely important to market a product. If a product violates any electromagnetic compatibility requirement, the sale of that product is not permitted. EMI and EMC Standards are used to determine the electromagnetic quality of products. Standards which have two important elements as test limit values ​​and test methods include emission and immunity criteria for military devices. For EMI – EMC Standards, the product must comply with the required guidelines and undergo tests. In order to ensure that these tests are carried out correctly and to document the suitability of the product, the testing and laboratory environment must be qualified.The unqualified or inadequate environment of the tests will prevent the product from being tested correctly and cause problems in obtaining CE certificate.
