Besides the emissions tests required by the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC),
the European Union requires radiated susceptibility (" immunity") testing and
certain other tests for electronic equipment that is to be sold in europe.
These tests are called out in European Commission Directive # 89-336-EEC, along with
its updates and references. Compliance is signified by the "CE" Mark.
These unique tests can include electrostatic discharge immunity testing,
electrical fast transient pulse immunity testing,
E3 Electromagnetic environmental effects
and power line ("mains") surge immunity testing. Listed above are the web sites of manufacturers who
provide the specialized equipment needed to perform these tests.
Test equipment and instrument firms are essential
to manufacturers and testing laboratories that specialize in Electromagnetic
Compatibility ( EMC ) testing, Electromagnetic Interference ( EMI )
troubleshooting, Electrostatic discharge (ESD )
or general Electromagnetic environmental effects ( E3 ) work.
Besides new test equipment and instruments,
Test equipment and instrument firms occasionally sell used
test equipment such as antennas, attenuators, power attenuators,
current probes, bandpass filters, high pass filters, low pass filters,
notch filters ( band reject filters ) couplers, baluns, transformers,
and even specialized adapters. Test equipment and instrument firms
also sell used instruments such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators,
impulse generators, comb generators, word generators, pattern generators, clock gnerators,
amplifiers, preamps, power amplifiers, tunable receivers, electrostatic discharge (ESD) guns, and specialized instruments such
electrical fast transient pulse generators and surge generators and hipot testers.
Test equipment and instrument firms also provide instrument calibration services
and instrument repair services. Test equipment and instrument firms are
a valuable part of the Electromagnetic
Compatibility ( EMC ) testing, Electromagnetic Interference ( EMI )
troubleshooting, and general Electromagnetic environmental effects ( E3 )
industries.
