EMC Directive

The EMC Directive (Directive 2014/30/EU) outlines requirements for equipment sold in the EU to comply with electromagnetic compatibility standards, ensuring protection against electromagnetic disturbances. It mandates essential compliance, labeling, and conformity procedures.

• Scope: Applies to manufacturers, importers, distributors, and authorized representatives involved with equipment liable to generate electromagnetic interference.
• Key Requirements: Equipment must have the CE marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Essential requirements cover design, labeling, and compliance documentation.
• Responsibilities: Manufacturers and importers must maintain technical documentation for 10 years. Distributors must ensure compliance during handling and storage.

This directive aims to ensure that products do not interfere with each other through electromagnetic disturbance and that they work effectively together in defined environments.
