EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility)
If electrical equipment fails to function properly in its electromagnetic environment, the consequences can be serious, ranging from disrupted communication systems and malfunctioning sensors to safety risks in critical equipment. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is crucial for modern connected and electrified products, but requirements differ between markets and product types. Manufacturers must navigate a complex landscape of standards, directives and type approvals if they want to sell their products globally, ranging from the EU's EMC and Radio Directives to US FCC requirements and military standards.
RISE provides market access through accredited testing, verification and certification for global markets. In the Nordics' largest EMC facility and ten specialised test beds, you can verify your products according to the hundreds of standards that apply to vehicles, industrial products, defence electronics, marine equipment and radio communications. As an approved body for the EU and the only TCB in Sweden for the USA, RISE can certify products for market access directly.

New cyber security regulation mobilising the automotive industry
Today’s connected vehicles mean that cyber threats are a part of everyday life. And now the regulatory aspects are about to catch up with reality. Soon, every car rolling off the production line will have to meet new cyber security requirements if it is to be sold globally.
“The entire industry is working frantically, essentially against the clock,” says Tomas Bodeklint, a research and business developer at RISE.

AutoStore tests everything to ensure safety
Is it possible to test your product reliably when it is so unique that no standard has been developed that can be applied? The Norwegian company AutoStore found the answer to this question in Sweden.
Projects in EMC
Project / Solar energy
solEMC
RISE, in collaboration with Högskolan Dalarna, Swedavia and Friendly Power AB, started a research project to investigate EMC emissions from solar plants. Until September 2022, they built knowledge to convey to the industry about how EMC for solar installations is handled to avoid problems.
Project / Autonomous vehicles
EMCVERA
The project EMC VERification of Autonomous Vehicles in Reverberation Chamber (EMCVERA) aimed to investigate some of the open research questions in the standardization of reverberation chambers and build national competence and capacity in the future EMC verification of Autonomous Driving vehicles.
