If you\u2019re bringing an electronic device to market, one of the most important steps in the process of achieving market access is ensuring your device complies with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards.<\/span><\/p>\n All major markets have EMC standards and regulations for electronic devices. These standards exist to ensure that devices can operate effectively in a shared environment without interference caused by electromagnetic emissions.<\/span><\/p>\n These standards are what prevent your cell phone from interrupting your TV signal, for example, or other consumer electronics from affecting the Wi-Fi signal in your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Achieving compliance with EMC standards requires testing. While many manufacturers perform testing immediately before going to market, others take a more proactive approach and start the testing process during their product\u2019s design and development phase.<\/span><\/p>\n This is referred to as EMC pre-compliance testing, and it\u2019s an effective way to identify potential issues in your device — and, more importantly, to fix them — before your device goes through a complete series of lab tests for compliance with FCC Part 15 or the CE certification process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As an accredited electronics testing lab, we can help you to complete pre-compliance tests for your device, as well as complete compliance testing before entering the market. To talk to our team or request a quote, contact us online<\/span><\/a> or call us at 866-540-5287.<\/span><\/p>\n You can also learn more about EMC pre-compliance testing, including how the process works and common EMC standards and regulations, below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n EMC pre-compliance testing is a preliminary step in the product development process, which involves testing your device to ensure it\u2019s likely to comply with EMC regulations in your target markets.<\/span><\/p>\n Most of the time, EMC pre-compliance testing is carried out to verify that a device meets the standards set under regulations such as FCC Part 15, FCC Part 18, or the European Union\u2019s various directives for electronic devices.<\/span><\/p>\n You can think of it as like completing a practice exam before the real exam. While early tests won\u2019t grant your device regulatory compliance, testing your device early can help you identify potential issues and fix them before you conduct formal lab testing.<\/span><\/p>\n This helps you save money by increasing your chances of successfully completing lab testing for your device the first time, without having to make design changes or re-test your device in the late stages of the development process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Pre-compliance testing is usually conducted either in-house or using the services of an EMC testing lab<\/a>, such as our ANSI-accredited facility.<\/span><\/p>\n There are numerous electromagnetic compatibility standards used around the world. A critical part of the pre-compliance testing process is identifying the EMC standards that apply to your device and the impact these standards may have on its design and function.<\/span><\/p>\n Common EMC standards and regulations include:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n In addition to the standards above, we offer pre-compliance and compliance testing for a wide range of international standards, which you can view on our <\/span>Accredited Lab Scope<\/span><\/a> page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As an accredited electronics testing lab, we\u2019ve helped hundreds of electronics manufacturers, importers and distributors carry out testing for their devices and achieve compliance with FCC, CE and other key standards and regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re in the process of designing an electronic device and want expert help with compliance from the early stages of the process, if you\u2019d like to schedule testing for your device, or if you\u2019d simply like to ask our engineers a question, we\u2019re more than happy to help you.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is EMC Pre-Compliance Testing?<\/span><\/h2>\n
