5.5 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Dynamic Controls' Electronic Controllers have been tested on typical, representative vehicles to
confirm compliance with the following appropriate EMC standards:
USA

National and international directives require confirmation of compliance on particular vehicles. Since
EMC is dependent on a particular installation, each variation must be tested. The guidelines in this
