In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology and consumer goods, ensuring products' resilience to electromagnetic interference has become a critical aspect of quality assurance. At the forefront of the testing and certification realm, IMQ is a distinguished authority, providing thorough Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing services.  

Defining EMC Tests

EMC tests play a pivotal role in evaluating how a product responds to electromagnetic interference from both external sources and its own emissions. The primary objectives include assessing a product's functionality, behavior, and the level of interference it may introduce into the environment or mains supply network. IMQ's EMC tests focus on both emissions and immunity aspects to ensure products meet stringent standards.

Key Emissions Tests Include:

1. Radiated Emissions: Evaluating the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the product.
2. Conducted Emissions: Verifying interference transmitted into the mains supply network.
3. Mains Harmonics: Assessing harmonic distortions in the mains supply network.
4. Flicker: Examining the product's susceptibility to voltage fluctuations.
5. Radio Disturbance Power: Measuring power disturbances caused by radiofrequency emissions.
6. Click: Analyzing the impact of abrupt switching or clicking.

Key Immunity Tests Include:

1. Radiated Immunity: Subjecting the product to electromagnetic radiation to assess its resilience.
2. Conducted Immunity: Testing the product's resistance to conducted electromagnetic interference.
3. Immunity to Magnetic Fields at Network Frequencies: Evaluating immunity to magnetic fields at power frequencies.
4. Burst Immunity: Assessing the product's response to sudden bursts of interference.
5. Surge Immunity: Gauging resilience against electrical surges.
6. Voltage Sag Immunity: Evaluating response to voltage sags.
7. Electrostatic Discharge Immunity: Testing resistance to electrostatic discharges.
