Product tests and certification of TÜV Rheinland help you to:

• Ensure your compliance with the legal requirements of the EMC directive
• Receive conformity evaluation from an independent third party
• Benefit from short testing times and our extensive experience
• Gain increased security in terms of product liability
• Improve your market position with tested products and the TÜV Rheinland test mark.

Our experts will evaluate the electromagnetic compatibility of your product in only three steps:

1. Testing of the product according to the 2014/30/EU EMC directive. Equipment must be constructed such that the electromagnetic frequencies do not disturb the function of other products, and vice versa.
2. Issue of a test report.
3. Certification.

In highly-equipped testing labs, including enclosed facilities, we focus on the following areas:

• Alarm systems
• Automotive/e-mobility
• Components
• Electric smog measurements
• Household- and leisure products
• Industrial products
• Information technology
• Laboratory products
• Lightning
• Medical devices
• Motor vehicle accessories/parts
• Railway technology products

Numerous gauging procedures can also be carried out in our mobile lab at short notice and on-site.

The EMC 2004/108/EC directive provides the basis for protection requirements of electrical and electronic equipment. Its main thrust centers around protection of the electromagnetic spectrum. The directive lays out requirements relevant to ensure that radio, telecommunications, electrical or electronic devices are not disturbed or interrupted.

The revised version of 2004/108/EC (2014/30/EU) came into force in April 2014 with a transitional period deadline of April 2016.

Compliance with the directive is generally demonstrated by EMC testing and certification.

On May 22, 2016, new policy for radio equipment numbered 2014/53/EU was published in the EU Official Journal.

Entitled, Directive of the European Parliament and Council on the harmonization of the laws of the member states concerning the introduction of equipment on the market and repealing the 1999/5/EC directive, the new official directive provides a transitional period of one year.

One major change is the elimination of the lower frequency limit of 9 kHz to include radio communication units below 9kHz.

Short range devices (SRDs) are short range radio applications which are suitable for speech or data transmission.

Typical applications are, for example

• Movement detectors
• Wireless microphones
• Remote controls
• Low-power radio systems
• Garage door openers
• Medical implants
• Remote controls for models

• EN 300220-2 (SRD)
