EMC Qualification

IEEE is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Their specifications for EMC is the industry standard for electronic qualification.

EMC (Electromechanical Compatibility) is defined as the origin, control, and measurement of electromagnetic effects on electronic and biological  systems.

Amidyne performs these tests to the American QA program 10CFR50 Appendix B, or to the applicable Canadian QA programs (CSA CAN Z 299.2, applicable parts of N286.1 and N286.2, and applicable parts of ISO 17025).

Definitions:

EMC
Origin, control, and measurement of electromagnetic effects on electronic and biologic systems.

Radiation
Describes any process in which energy travels through a medium or through space, ultimately to be absorbed by another body. Some types of radiation associated with radioactivity are alpha and beta particles and gamma and X rays.

Harsh environment
An environment resulting from a design basis event such as a loss of coolant accident, high-energy line break, and main steam line break.

Mild environment
An environment that would at no time be significantly more severe than the environment that would occur during normal plant operation, including anticipated operational occurrences.
