Capacitive Discharge Shock from CRT Faceplates

While cleaning the CRT faceplate of the computer color monitor display, a person received a painful electric shock at the other hand which was touching the top of the monitor plastic enclosure. This person lost... Read More...

A Far East Wave

It’s normal to have a few regrets and I have more than the crooner would mention. One of the regrets I’ll never have is jumping into the action in China some 15 years ago. It has been a never-ending throb of ac... Read More...

ISO/IEC 17065: The Standard for Certification Bodies – A Review of the Key Requirements

Before we investigate the inner workings of the ISO/IEC 17065 standard, we must be aware of one overarching fact: Certification Schemes, the set of requirements put in place by industry, regulators or other entities, are the driving documents for all certifications.

EMC Design Reviews: Some Lessons from Our Design Review Career (to date!)

One of our favorite EMC sayings is “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of shielding.” Like vaccinations for children, an EMC design review can prevent serious problems later, such as a failed EMC test. Or ... Read More...
