Abstract

This paper describes the role of individual certification of EMC personnel. In comparison, if our test labs and equipment are required to meet certain standards of conformance, should not then EMC people also have to meet some standard? Whether certified in-house or by an independent certification agency like NARTE, the certification of EMC personnel does play an important role in the EMC community. This paper discusses the current criteria needed to obtain national EMC certification and the benefits of certification to not only the individual or the organization they work for but to the EMC community as a whole
