Smart Development includes Pre-Compliance Testing!

Smart Development includes Pre-Compliance Testing!  During product development, it is smart to consider EMC Pre-Compliance Testing.  Every electronic device must pass Final EMC Compliance Testing prior to going to market.  Failure of this test means "back to the drawing board" for your product for "tweaking" prior to making it to the market.  The quicker the Testing is successfully completed, the faster it can be marketed!  Another great reason for testing early and often during development is that Pre-Compliance testing makes...

“Develop” EMC with Pre-Compliance Testing!

"Develop" EMC with Pre-Compliance Testing!  If you're developing new electronic product, you know that it must pass Final EMC Compliance Testing enabling it to go to market.  Many companies develop the product testing it for EMC compliance after development.  This method means that multiple areas may fail the costly Final EMC Compliance test, requiring "backtracking" through developmental steps to determine the reason(s) for failure and re-test the product repeatedly until it passes.  This can be a frustrating proposition, requiring multiple...
