EMC Compliance Seminar
“A Guide to C-Tick Applicability for Components,
OEM Devices, Equipment, Systems and Installations”
(Duration ½ day)

An interactive decision making process to determine if a product must have a C-Tick, and the determination of the applicable EMC standard.

This course is aimed at all suppliers of components, OEM devices, electrical equipment, systems and installations. It addresses critical issues facing all suppliers particularly those with a large inventory of products.

An overview of the standards and the regulations is given along with guidance in the application of C-tick to any product.

Overview and update on the EMC Framework.
- -Scope of Framework
  -Changes to Framework
- Overview of ACA/CISPR EMC standards
- How to select the appropriate EMC standard
- Interactive decision making checklist to determine if a product must be C-Ticked

Commercial EMC Standards and Regulations
Comparison with Military Standards
(Duration 1 day)

There is an increasing trend by defence organisations in Australia, USA and Europe to specify commercial EMC Standards for defence equipment requirements in lieu of the traditional MIL-STD specifications.

The aim of this course is to give an in-depth explanation of the various Australian and international EMC standards used in the commercial world. The plethora of international approval marks and accreditations will be explained including their relationship to the regulations of various countries.

The European commission has mandated a wide range of emission and immunity standards applicable to virtually all electrical/electronic devices. These standards will be studied in the context of commercial EMC environments.

Comparisons will be made to the Military standards so that the participant will be able to extrapolate the results between different standards and regulations
