What is BS EN 61000-4-20 - Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing about?
BS EN 61000-4-20 is a British Standard. BS EN 61000-4-20 is a guide on emission and immunity test methods for electrical and electronic equipment using various types of transverse electromagnetic (TEM) waveguides.
These waveguides include open structures (for example, strip lines and electromagnetic pulse simulators) and closed structures (for example, TEM cells). These structures can be further classified as one-, two-, or multi-port TEM waveguides.
Note: Test methods are defined in this standard for measuring the effects of electromagnetic radiation on equipment and the electromagnetic emissions from equipment concerned. The simulation and measurement of electromagnetic radiation is not adequately exact for quantitative determination of effects for all end-use installations. The test methods defined are structured for a primary objective of establishing adequate repeatability of results at various test facilities for qualitative analysis of effects.
Who is BS EN 61000-4-20 - Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing for?
BS EN 61000-4-20 on Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing is useful for:
- Manufacturers of radio
- Manufacturers of sensor systems
- Manufacturers of satellite
- Manufacturers of television
Why should you use BS EN 61000-4-20 - Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing?
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing determines whether or not a piece of equipment or a system can perform properly in its electromagnetic environment without causing excessive electromagnetic disturbance. BS EN 61000-4-20 provides guidelines for proper handling of the electromagnetic compatibility for the manufacturers so that it minimizes the possibility that radiated or conducted emissions produced by your device will interfere with other electronic products in its vicinity.
Using BS EN 61000-4-20 best practice guidance ensures quality assurance and safety of the users.
