6. Drawing up an EMC compliance plan
Before setting off on a laboratory test, it's important to establish a working methodology to avoid the most common errors.
With this in mind, we propose a method for obtaining EMC conformity as part of CE marking.
6.1 Expressing the need
Expressing your needs is the first major step in the process. You need to ask yourself the right questions. Which market? What are the specific constraints? Certification or self-certification?
CE marking is linked to the manufacturer's commitment, but proof of conformity must be documented and available; self-certification remains possible. However, in EMC, there is an imperative need for heavy equipment to prove conformity, for calibrated equipment (or sufficient calculations...
