testing

Many manufacturers believe that third-party testing is required to meet the requirements of the EU’s EMC Directive. But there are other, legally acceptable paths to demonstrate compliance with the EMC Directive that do not require the use of a third party.

If pre-compliance activities are good for discovering EMC design weaknesses early in product development, why not apply the same thought process to product safety?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reminding medical device manufacturers to independently verify testing results generated by third parties that are included in premarket submissions to the agency.

This blog explains CDM ESD testing using the field-induced (FI) method, which is important for semiconductor manufacturers. It covers building a CDM-FI tester, waveform details and verification, and qualification nuances. 

Leakage or touch current tests for electrical shock protection is mandated by safety standards in the process of issuing a safety certification for various electrical products. In this article, electrical shock sensation experiments were conducted for a complex waveform composed of a combination of 60 Hz and a higher frequency sinusoidal signal.

This two-part article provides a detailed overview of hardware compliance issues applicable to mainframe and server computers and their subcomponents.

This article presents a framework for assessing the measurement uncertainties on an outdoor far‑field elevated range.

The trend of progressively migrating both ESD and EMC immunity from the system/board to the component level is creating unprecedented challenges for the component ESD designer.

Choosing an EMC test lab to work with is one of the most important decisions any electronics design engineer or product developer has to make.
