EMC Confidence / Product Screening Checks
Are you importing, distributing or selling electrical products? If so you may well be legally responsible for product compliance and CE marking.
That’s where we can help, EMC is a key part of the mandatory CE marking process in Europe and moreover a product with poor EMC performance may give you an unprecedented level of returns and reflect badly on your company image and reputation. That’s why our confidence / product screening services are invaluable. We can carry out a rudimental risk assessment and conduct confidence testing with results presented in an easy to read, traffic light style, report indicating performance level to help you decide your next steps.

Free Webinar; Introduction to the physical agents Directive (EMF)
Join TÜV SÜD Product Service for Introduction to the Physical Agents Directive (EMF) on Tuesday 29th September 2015 at 2pm.
The Physical Agents Directive (EMF) 2013/35/EU is one of a number of Directives that introduces measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work across the EU, specifically regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from electromagnetic fields.
Member State legislation is due by 1 July 2016 therefore industries have time to consider their health & safety arrangements and prepare/update their policies and procedures to comply with the PAD (EMF). Technically the PAD (EMF) adopts guidance from the international body ICNIRP but has some different approaches. A ‘Practical Guide’ will be produced to assist with meeting the PAD (EMF) but is not yet issued so in the meantime we will look at the PAD (EMF) requirements and their expected implementation.
