Product Family Standards — Why They Matter
Product family EMC standards provide tailored emissions limits and immunity requirements specific to a product's function, installation environment, and safety criticality. For many product categories — alarm systems, lighting, professional AV, power supplies, broadcast receivers, and telecom equipment — a product family standard is either required for CE marking or provides more appropriate test conditions than a generic standard.
Compatible Electronics holds direct NVLAP accreditation for all six specialty product EMC standards covered in this section — enabling manufacturers to test to the most appropriate standard for their product, from a single accredited California laboratory, with ILAC MRA recognized reports accepted by EU market surveillance authorities worldwide.
