Welcome to the first edition of the Interference Technology Europe EMC Guide, where you will find information about European EMC regulations, local events, local suppliers and representatives, directories, resources, and technical articles at your fingertips. As we researched the idea of a European EMC publication, two key challenges quickly became evident: #1: We surveyed you, the readers, in Europe and you told us (often in very strong terms!) that you want content in your own language. So how could we accommodate multiple language needs? #2: You also told us you wanted it in print (a single, annual edition) that you could carry around, and easily reference. So with all the regulatory activity, how could we keep the information up to date? When we tell you our answers to these challenges, you will see how the Europe EMC Guide works. #1: Language. The Guide is divided into 11 sections, one section for each country, with each section in the language of that country. But this created another problem. How would, for example, an English electronics engineer read the German articles, or a French engineer the Czech articles? Solution: All non-English content is translated into English and in some cases, other languages too, and available online.#2: Updates. The information here in our 2011 edition could never contain everything we would like to publish. Also, since this edition was printed, new information like standards updates, new suppliers, and new information about EMC events have arisen. Solution: Over the next year, we will regularly publish updated versions of this 2011 edition online. You can imagine the amount of work required to publish something like this. We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge all those from Europe and around the world who contributed to this premier edition, and of course our advertisers without whom the publication would not exist.READ THE ISSUE HERE
