IEC holds EMC workshop in Beijing

During the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) General Meeting in Beijing, held in November 2002, the Advisory Committee on Electromagnetic Compatibility (ACEC) held two workshops to familiarize technical committee experts with its work in the field of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and to help the technical committees become more efficient in preparing IEC product standards that involve EMC considerations.

The workshops included presentations by Dr. William Radasky (chairman of the ACEC), Peter Kerry (chairman of the International Special Committee on Radio Interference—CISPR), Diethard Moehr (secretary of Technical Committee 77, which covers electromagnetic compatibility), IEC Technical Director Jean-Pierre Brotons-Dias, and IEC Technical Officer Rémy Baillif. Attendees were given a CD-ROM containing the presentations from the workshop and a flyer entitled "EMC for Product Committees: A short guide to IEC Guide 107." The CD-ROM is available free of charge from the IEC's Central Office. To obtain a copy, contact Dennis Brougham at db@iec.ch.
