We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Electromagnetic Compatibility",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Ethernet switches allow easing exchanges from
Harting, which we summarised at the time by saying "When a new switch is connected, it starts up automatically without reconfiguration".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Testing company expands premises from
TUV Rheinland of North America: "TUV Rheinland has as added an outdoor testing site to its industrial machinery testing and certification capabilities at its Southeast Regional office in Youngsville, North Carolina".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Manufacturing Technologies Association
- take a look at Associations unite for wide-ranging training
which says: "Training courses cover risk assessment, EMC, the WEEE and RoHS directives as well as the function safety of control systems and the new Machinery Directive".
Take a look also at the news release from UL International (UK), Safety company offers certification bundle,
as well as Jaguar pioneers novel wiring loom from BERU F1 Systems,
and Panel PCs are made for a life on the ocean wave from MAC Solutions (UK).
