Abstract :
The planned European Community (EC) directive on electromagnetic compatibility has as its goal the establishment of uniform technical standards and marketing procedures. While international emissions standards are well established, immunity specifications are far less agreed upon. The author discusses the shape that immunity requirements for information technology equipment may take. He reviews the main topics the directive is expected to cover. These are the performance limits, test methods and their relation to existing standards for continuous magnetic fields, electromagnetic field immunity, conducted susceptibility, power system transient immunity, and electrostatic discharge immunity
