In the world of electronics manufacturing, designing a quality product is just the start of a complex journey from manufacturer to customer. Not only must manufacturers meet the needs and expectations of their customers, they must also comply with complex regulatory requirements in the country where the product is manufactured, as well as the countries where it will be distributed and sold.

We live in a wired (and increasingly, wireless) world, and all electronic and digital devices have the potential to generate electromagnetic (EM) energy. EM emissions (both intentional and unintentional) can have undesired effects on other nearby electronic equipment, not to mention people and animals.

As wireless technology rapidly evolves, so do the rules and regulations affecting the products we live, work and play with. New standards and test methods, and changes to rules and regulations, are always on the horizon.
