Why is electromagnetic compatibility so important?
Numerous items of equipment are still in use in all areas of life and work which do not meet today’s requirements an which have an adverse effect on the operation of other equipment. A police station might, for example, have a computer that has not been tested for electromagnetic compatibility, thus interfering with hand-held telephones. Or the new grinder in the workshops which operates using a power-regulating electronic system does not work because there is interference from a machine in the next room. It is not easy to find the sources of interference of this kind since there is no way of seeing how the items of equipment interact with one another. The regulations in the Law on EMC and Telecommunication Services aim to guarantee that various items of equipment get on well with one another in today’s world, where there are so many different kinds of communication taking place.
