About This Course

EMC Testing: Test the Right Things, the Right Way" is a strategic program designed to move technical professionals beyond a "box-ticking" approach to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Led by expert Karen Burnham, the course teaches a "right-sized" testing philosophy, focusing on the exact amount of testing needed for specific applications to avoid the costly delays of over-testing or the field failures caused by under-testing. The curriculum emphasizes the economics of early intervention, demonstrating that identifying issues at the PCB design stage is the most cost-effective path to project success.


Course Agenda

Discover why "testing correctly, early" maximizes investment and how to align regulatory requirements with technical excellence. Master the physical fundamentals of the test bench, including grounding, bonding, LISN selection, and the critical impact of cabling and shielding on data accuracy. Transition from standard compliance to the IEEE 1848 mindset, learning to design systems that remain safe even when interference is assumed to occur.

  • Foundational Philosophy & Economics

  • The "Test Like You Fly" Framework

  • Advanced Electromagnetic Resilience (EMR)

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

  • Define EMC and explain why correct testing is critical to program success.

  • Identify the risks associated with over-testing, under-testing, and incorrect test setups.

  • Distinguish between the four fundamental EMC problem types: Radiated Emissions, Conducted Emissions, Radiated Immunity, and Conducted Immunity.

  • Describe the five key testing levels, from Components and PCBs to full Systems and Vehicles.

  • Apply the ISO 11451 framework to set rock-solid success criteria for immunity testing.
