EMI/EMC Compliance Testing Laboratory Services EMI/EMC testing was conducted to analyze the interference and compatibility of a subject to ensure industry compliance. EMI which is Electromagnetic Interference usually tests for the emission of any signal or noise from a subject. It causes interference with other vehicles, equipment, or machinery. While, EMC, which is Electromagnetic Compatibility, tests the ability to operate without creating electromagnetic interference for other devices. Every manufacturer and consumer product such as electronic devices, medical equipment, aerospace or military vehicles, and machinery heavily depends on EMI/EMC Testing. Because all devices have the potential to cause electromagnetic interference and once the number of electronic devices increases, there is a potential for interference between the devices. However, EMI/EMC testing have become a necessity for all product designers who make or modify products. So, here we will focus more on the following industry’s product testing as mentioned below: -

What is Electro Compatibility?
Magnetic
Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) is defined as the ability of electronic and communication equipment to operate satisfactorily in the presence of interference. EME is known as Electromagnetic Emission and EMI is Electromagnetic Immunity.
Difference Between EMI/EMC EMI/EMC are interconnected in so many ways. It is often also assumed to be the same when referring to the regulatory testing of electronic consumer goods and components. Now, let’s understand both terms individually and how they are different. Electro Magnetic Immunity (EMI) – It is electromagnetic energy that affects the components and functioning of an electronic device. Its interferences can occur naturally or be caused by another electrical device. Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) – It is used to measure the ability of a device to operate as expected in its shared operating environment. However, at the same time, it is not being affected by and not affecting the functioning of other equipment present within the same environment.
