Electromagnetic compatibility

The discipline of controlling emissions of, and immunity to, electromagnetic disturbances is known as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Inadequate EMC can result in errors and incorrect operation of electronic devices; an increase in hazardous situations and consequently a higher health and safety risk. Read more . . .
