The Directive 2014/30 / EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility (recast) (in short EMC Directive ) deals with the electromagnetic compatibility of equipment .

content

The EMC directive specifies the way in which the electromagnetic compatibility of electrically operated devices in the European internal market should be established. With a few exceptions, the validity of this guideline extends to all devices or stationary systems which are intended for end users and which can cause electromagnetic interference or whose operation can be impaired by electromagnetic interference.

Under electromagnetic compatibility is the ability to be understood here a piece of equipment referred to in Article 3, to work in its electromagnetic environment satisfactorily without introducing intolerable electromagnetic disturbances to cause that would be intolerable to other equipment in that environment.

Under electromagnetic disturbance any electromagnetic phenomenon is meant in Article 3, which may degrade the performance of equipment.

In order to avoid electromagnetic interference with other equipment through equipment, an appropriate level of electromagnetic compatibility must be specified for the equipment. However, the guideline does not specify any limit values ​​to be complied with. Rather, according to Annex I, it is only stipulated that the electromagnetic interference caused by equipment must not reach a level at which the intended operation of radio and telecommunications devices or other equipment is not possible.

Art. 2 defines exceptions to the directive. Radio equipment used by radio amateurs within the meaning of the Constitution of the International Telecommunication Union and the Convention of the International Telecommunication Union are excluded from the scope of this directive, unless these devices are commercially available. In addition, aeronautical products are excluded from the directive, as are radio systems and telecommunications terminal equipment that are covered by the R & TTE directive (1999/5 / EC). The EMC directive does not apply in areas in which another directive makes more precise specifications for EMC or will make them in the future. B. the case with the motor vehicle EMC directive 2004/104 / EU and its subsequent directives .

In the meantime, the R & TTE Directive has been replaced by the Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53 / EU) . The Radio Equipment Directive now applies to radio systems, although the scope has been expanded compared to the R & TTE Directive. For telecommunications terminal equipment (without radio), however, the EMC Directive must now be applied.

The implementation of the EMC directive in German law took place with the law on the electromagnetic compatibility of equipment (EMVG). In Austria, implementation took place with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Ordinance (EMVV).

CE marking and declaration of conformity

In accordance with Annex II, the manufacturers of equipment are required by a conformity assessment procedure show that they put on the market apparatus for compliance with this Directive. They create technical documents, add operating instructions and safety information to the devices and attach the CE mark .

Versions of the EMC Directive

The first EMC directive was published in 1989 under the number 89/336 / EEC. It was repealed by Directive 2004/108 / EC, which was valid until April 19, 2016.
