The FDA has written to the manufacturers of power scooters asking them to test new products to be sure they
provide a reasonable degree of immunity against EMI. The FDA requires that a powered wheelchair should
have an immunity level at least 20 V/m, which provides a reasonable degree of protection against more
common sources of EMI. The higher the immunity level the greater the protection. Your powered scooter has
an immunity level of 20 V/m which should protect against common sources of EMI. Warning: The scooter
itself can disturb the performance of the electromagnetic fields such as emitted by alarm systems of shops.
