Engineers everywhere would like to test their products only once for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), using a single set of standards and placing a single mark on the products to allow them to be sold around the world. Unfortunately, that aspiration will not become reality any time soon. If anything, it is becoming even more elusive as companies pursue new global sales opportunities further afield. The challenges are no longer technical; increasingly, they are raised by regulators in government offices many time zones away. The task of EMC testing for global markets is challenging indeed. Each country or region retains its right to determine: • If EMC is a mandatory compliance aspect that must be met prior to placing products on the market • Identification of the authority that will have jurisdiction over regulating EMC • Determination of the technical requirements that must be met - whether emissions only (EMI), or both emissions and immunity (EMC) • Identification of the standards required • Compliance procedures and filings • Determination of what test reports will be accepted • Specification of any marks that must be applied. This paper will review the regulatory issues of EMC compliance in selected regions around the world.
