The widespread proliferation of microprocessor-based equipment and wireless technology has fueled concerns for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in countless product arenas on a global scale. Once the exclusive concern of the military, EMC testing has mushroomed to include product areas ranging from medical electronics and industrial controls, to commercial aviation, consumer electronics, and automotive electronics as well.

Today, design and compliance engineers are faced with both EMC concerns and the diverse, ever-changing compliance regulations originating in a host of regulatory bodies. To continue to market products in an efficient, seamless fashion, manufacturers must be aware of, and comply with, EMC related regulations from an ever expanding list of regulators. For example, the Federal Communications Commission, Food and Drug Administration, Japanese VCCI, Australian AUSTEL, SAE, FAA, and the European Union CE represent only a handful of vitally important regulatory entities that require an engineer's attention. And the list is growing rapidly.

Retlif, with some twenty years of EMC testing experience and industry standards writing involvement, is fully staffed and equipped to assist you in meeting your EMC challenge.
