Correlations between EMI statistics and EMC market surveillance in Finland

In this paper, two sets of EMI statistics are compared against those of the EMC market surveillance authority, The Safety Technology Authority of Finland (TUKES). Also, some international comparisons are made. The main focus is on electrical equipment. The aim of the paper is to find out whether there is a potential use and usefulness for the application of interference statistics when evaluating the effectiveness of EMC market surveillance, and also when in allocating EMC market surveillance financial and personnel resources. Also, the costs of EMC market surveillance have been compared against the costs of interference problem solving. Finally, the reasonableness of requirements is checked so that it can be seen how they worked to ensure EMC.
