A Quick Guide To EMC Engineering By Patrick Andre
Why is it people walk into a testing laboratory with all the confidence in the world that their equipment is going to pass, only to have all their hopes and dreams dashed upon the rocks? This is a common situation. It is helpful at this time to remember the basics of EMC design.

ESD Standards: A Review And Update By The ESD Association

Spotlight On Immunity: Immunity Testing For The CE Mark By Thomas C. Moyer and Rodger Gensel
Manufacturers must test and certify that their equipment meets the EMC Directive and they must apply a CE mark as testimony to this. Current and pending changes to the specifications that describe the tests to be made place more stringent requirements on the equipment used for CE mark testing. This article addresses some of the immunity tests required by the generic EMC standards issued by CENELEC, the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization.
