If you're in the business of making or selling electronic products anywhere in the world, you've likely had your product tested at an EMC test laboratory for radio-frequency (RF) emissions, immunity, or both. Everyone would like the testing process to be a painless experience, but often problems arise that can delay testing and maybe even the product's schedule. Sometimes equipment fails a portion of a test. Sometimes the product may self-destruct. Sometimes communications get crossed between the manufacturer and the test lab. Proper planning and preparation for each project can prevent such problems and ensure a productive and successful visit. This article presents an overview of how to prepare for the visit. See the checklist in the sidebar "Emissions/Immunity Lab Visit Checklist" on page 39.
