Accredited Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

With the proliferation of electro-medical devices, Insidious problems are often associated with the inadequate EMC performance of medical equipment because a malfunction can present serious concerns for patient safety and accurate diagnosis. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements are therefore an integral part of medical equipment regulations. EMC Technologies’ NATA endorsed reports are internationally accepted in most countries including:

European Community – Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC
United States – Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Australia – Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)

Compliance with the standards IEC/EN60601-1-2/AS/NZS 3200-1-2 will generally meet the compliance requirements for most countries, reduce interference to other equipment and will also enhance the immunity of the device to interference from other electronic equipment, including from mobile phones.

EMCT’s NATA accredited facilities allow local certification and testing to IEC60601-1-2:2004 [which supersedes IEC601-1-2 :2001] /AS/NZS3200.1.2.
