Electromagnetic interference standards
The European Union’s Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive, 2004/108/EC, is the sole Directive developed to
address electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues in electronic equipment. In particular, the Directive calls out European
Norm (EN) documents that define the emission and immunity standards for specific product categories. For OEM v30 lasers,
EN 61000-6-4 defines radiated and conducted RF emission limits while EN 61000-6-2 defines immunity requirements for
industrial environments.
SYNRAD’s Firestar OEM v30E lasers have demonstrated performance characteristics that have met or exceeded the require-
ments of EMC Directive 2004/108/EC.
