Basic training in EMC
Gain a practical understanding of Electromagnetic Compability (EMC) and learn how EMC requirements affect product design, testing, compliance and market access.
EMC is both a quality attribute and a legal requirement. Products that do not meet EMC requirements may suffer from performance issues, fail compliance testing, or face barriers to market access. Understanding EMC early in the product lifecycle can help reduce development risks, avoid costly redesigns, and support successful product launches.
This course provides a clear and accessible overview of EMC fundamentals. Participants will learn how electromagnetic disturbances occur, how they can impact product performance, and what manufacturers need to do to comply with EMC-related regulatory requirements.
