Medical Device EMC Testing Services
Manufacturers need to demonstrate compliance with regulations regarding safety and performance requirements to ensure product safety and market entry.

The conformity of medical devices to EMC has recently become a significant issue, as it can pose a threat to life. If a product does not conform to the intended environment, it becomes difficult to ensure safety compliance and to achieve its intended effects. EMC testing evaluates the potential for interference between nearby products and the risk of injury or damage to people and the surrounding environment. Additionally, these tests assess the compatibility of devices under the intended electromagnetic environment. In many countries, EMC, radio, and radio frequency (RF) exposure and safety requirements are established. For medical products, several standards are set regarding testing, risk management, basic safety, and essential performance. For example, medical devices sold in the United States must comply with IEC 60601-1-2, 4th edition. The IEC 60601-1-2, 4th edition defines the fundamental safety and essential performance of medical devices concerning radiation and immunity to electromagnetic interference. As of the latest information, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recognized the 4.1 edition as a Recognized Consensus Standard in December 2023.
