List of EMC directives
Encyclopedia
The following list outlines a number of EMC
standards which are known at the time of writing to be either available or have been made available for public comment. These standards attempt to standardize product EMC performance, in respect to radio interference
for electrical equipment.
IEC
The IEC standards on EMC are mostly part of the IEC 61000 family. Below are some examples.
Electromagnetic compatibility
