Lighting EMC testing service

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) refers to the ability of a device or system to operate in its electromagnetic environment in compliance with requirements without causing intolerable electromagnetic interference to any device in its environment. EMC includes two requirements: on the one hand, it refers to the requirement that the electromagnetic interference generated by the equipment to the environment during normal operation cannot exceed a certain limit (EMI); On the other hand, it refers to the device having a certain degree of immunity to electromagnetic interference present in the environment, namely electromagnetic sensitivity (EMS).

Except for incandescent lamps (including halogen lamps) that are not equipped with dimming devices or electronic switches and do not require EMC testing, all other lamps need to undergo EMC testing, and other lamps without electronic devices are exempt from EMS testing.

Luminaires and lighting fixtures in the United States need to comply with the requirements of FCC Part 18 and complete the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) certification.
