Five New Blogs from Keith Armstrong
23 Jun 2025
Here’s a quick overview of Keith’s five new blogs:
Magnetic Field Immunity: Why IEC 61000-4-8 (and more) may be required even beyond mains frequency.
PQ Test Expansion: Why PQ tests like voltage dips, harmonics, and interharmonics are becoming necessary.
IEC 61000-4-14: Covers voltage fluctuations. Increasingly cited in product assessments.
IEC 61000-4-16: For conducted common-mode disturbances—often overlooked, now crucial.
IEC 61000-4-13: Interharmonics can create unexpected EMC failures. You might need to test for them.
These updates reflect the post-2016 landscape of the EMC Directive—where “relevant” no longer means “sufficient.” If you want to avoid costly shipment delays or customs issues in the EU or UK, it’s time to widen your compliance net.

EMC Standards is a world-leading resource for all things EMC and EMI related. Our website is packed full of both free and paid-for content, including:
- Online quiz
- Webinars
- Training quiz
- And much more!

Electromagnetic Engineering (EMgineering) is the basis for proven good design practices for signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and the control of EMI emissions and immunity (EMC).
Our aim is to help people learn how to more quickly and cost-effectively design and manufacture electronic equipment (products, systems, installations, etc.) to meet functional (i.e. SI/PI) specifications and conform to EMC standards, directives and other requirements.
Such equipment should benefit from reduced warranty costs and financial risks, whilst improving uptime, competitiveness and profitability.
We also cover basic good electrical safety engineering; and the Risk Management of Electromagnetic Disturbances / EMI, whether for Functional Safety or other types of risk.
