The Electromagnetic Compatibility Industry Association (EMCIA) is the trade association for companies involved in electromagnetic compatibility in the UK. It was formed in March 2002. It is based in Cornwall. Electromagnetic compatibility is increasingly important, especially for defence manufacturers such as BAE Systems and for medical applications. The members of the trade organisation are involved in reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) from electronic equipment. Members include: * Computer Simulation Technology * Samsung European Quality Assurance Laboratory It publishes the industry journal, ''The EMC Journal''.〔(EMC Journal )〕 It holds the EMC UK conference each year.〔(EMC UK )〕 It offers training for the EMC industry at the EMC Academy.〔(EMC Academy )〕 ==EMC directive == On 1 January 1996 the European Directive No. 89/336/EEC (known as the EMC Directive) came into force from the European Union.〔(EMC Directive )〕 This meant that all electronic equipment sold had to be tested to make sure it did not emit excessive electromagnetic interference. If the product passed the test it was issued with the CE mark. Trading Standards officers could fine a company £5,000 that did not have a CE mark on an electronic product. The CE mark was originally going to be needed for electronic equipment from January 1992, and from January 1993 the DTI spent £450,000 informing companies about the change in legislation, spending another £100,000 after January 1996. The legislation was passed in early 1992. The European legislation is now implemented by the UK's Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2006.〔(Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2006 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Electromagnetic Compatibility Industry Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
