Our products are too large to test in an EMC Chamber. What testing am I expected to carry out on my products?

If it is not feasible to test a product in an EMC chamber then in order to satisfy the essential requirements there will need to be a combination of in-situ testing and Risk Analysis work. The in-situ testing can be conducted either at your facilities or at the final place of installation. The tests conducted would be dependant on the equipments location. It may not be feasible or practically possible to conduct certain tests. The technical documentation produced will therefore need to take into account all of the phenomena applicable to equipment in its operating environment. Where tests cannot be performed in-situ then technical rationale will need to be produced and include the good EMC engineering practises that have been employed. This might include shielding, cable segregation and maybe the addition of EMC filters. Installation and maintenance guidance with respect to EMC will also need to be supplied.
