Services

All electrical equipment and devices will generate electromagnetic interference (e.g. ignition sparks in motor vehicles) which will affect other electrical equipment and must therefore be kept to below specific limits. At the same time, all electrical equipment and devices are subjected to electromagnetic interference phenomena (e.g. interference impulses due to switching processes) which may cause malfunctions. In order to be able to operate a large number and variety of electrical devices simultaneously, the protection-oriented objective of "Electromagnetic compatibility" (EMC) must be achieved. The German EMC law and the European EMC Directive make this objective mandatory. European and national standards specify the technical requirements for equipment as well as the related measuring and testing methods. For example, they specify the mandatory limits for interference emissions and the severity of immunity tests. We operate an extensively equipped EMC laboratory in Regensburg to support our customers in
solving interference problems and for carrying out fundamental research on EMC component applications. In this lab, the most economical interference suppression circuits for devices, equipment and machinery are determined, so that all legally binding or recommended limit values can be complied with. Furthermore, we cultivate partnerships with other EMC testing laboratories, so that customers can obtain competent advice and support in their vicinity. 2 2.1 EMC laboratory Qualification

The EPCOS AG EMC laboratory in Regensburg is qualified in accordance with EN 45001 and is a member of the competent body "Zust ndige Stelle der Siemens AG" (ZFE TN GR ZS, Erlangen). Certification in accordance with the guidelines of the "Deutsche Akkreditierungsrat" (DAR - German certification commission) was carried out in October 1994. The comprehensive equipment in the laboratory (e.g. measuring equipment, test generators, anechoic chamber), the many years of experience in the entire field of EMC (first anechoic chamber in Europe, in 1963) and our active co-operation in national and international EMC standardization bodies are an excellent foundation to our ability to meet customers' demands. The test record which is compiled after successful conclusion of tests is recognized as a proof of conformity with the current EMC standards and regulations, which is a prerequisite for applying the CE mark to a device. Our own development and production of EMC components ensure that all required interference suppres
sion circuits can be implemented within a short period. A comprehensive stock of capacitors, chokes, filters and accessories is directly available on site. Of course all devices, equipment and information entrusted to us by different customers will be treated with absolute discretion.
