WHAT IS ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY?

Equipment that works. Alongside other equipment.

The EMC Directive, 2014/30/EU, addresses electromagnetic emissions and immunity. Its purpose is to limit disturbance caused by equipment and ensure an appropriate ability to operate in the presence of interference when used as intended.

CEB helps your team make sense of the preparation work around your equipment. We clarify the questions to resolve, organise the information already available and structure the evidence needed for the agreed scope. You gain a clearer view of responsibilities, missing information and practical next steps.

SCOPE OF SUPPORT

Know the equipment. Connect the evidence.

Good preparation starts with a clear description of what your equipment does and how it will be used. We help bring that information together with the supporting documents and outstanding technical questions.

Preparation that connects equipment configuration with supporting evidence.

01

Equipment and intended use

Organise information about models, operating modes, connections and the environment in which the equipment will be used.

02

Requirements and assessment

Help clarify the applicable EMC requirements and the questions to discuss with your technical team or testing specialists.

03

Reports and supporting records

Bring available test reports, product specifications and configuration records into an organised, traceable dossier.

04

Documentation and next steps

Support preparation of technical documentation and declaration materials, with unresolved issues clearly recorded.

OUR CONSULTANCY PROCESS

A clearer route through EMC preparation.

We work alongside your team to organise the preparation around your equipment, available reports and target dates. The consultancy plan makes responsibilities clear and keeps technical decisions with the people responsible for them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Your questions, answered.

Useful answers about EMC consultancy, emissions and immunity, technical evidence and preparation for CE marking.

Does CEB issue an EMC certificate?

No. CEB provides consultancy and preparation support. The manufacturer remains responsible for conformity. For apparatus, the directive offers internal production control or a route involving EU-type examination by a notified body. We help clarify the preparation scope, without issuing approvals or guaranteeing results.

What is the difference between emissions and immunity?

Emissions are the electromagnetic disturbances equipment generates. Immunity concerns its ability to operate as intended despite external disturbances. Both need consideration in EMC preparation; addressing one does not automatically address the other.

Can CEB perform the EMC tests?

This service is consultancy. We can help organise equipment information, available reports and questions for your chosen laboratory or technical specialists. Test selection, execution, fees and scheduling are agreed with the relevant provider.

Can we use our existing EMC test reports?

Existing reports are a useful starting point. We help organise them alongside the equipment description and flag questions about model coverage, configurations or later changes for technical review. Having a report does not automatically resolve every documentation or assessment need.

Is EMC the same as electrical safety?

No. EMC concerns electromagnetic compatibility; LVD addresses electrical-equipment safety within its scope. Other legislation may also apply. Equipment covered by the Radio Equipment Directive follows a different regulatory framework, so the applicable route should be checked first.

What should we prepare for our first discussion?

Share a description of your equipment, intended environment, operating modes and connections. Bring available specifications, reports and instructions, together with details of product variants or recent changes. Tell us your target markets and dates so we can agree a practical scope.

Complex equipment. Clearer next steps.

Tell us about your equipment, the evidence you already hold and the questions still open. We’ll help define a practical starting point for your EMC preparation.
