Electromagnetic compatibility
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
1. Electromagnetic
compatibility is the condition which prevails when telecommunications equipment is performing its individually designed function in a common
electromagnetic environment without causing or suffering unacceptable
degradation due to unintentional
electromagnetic interference to or from other equipment in the same environment. [
NTIA] 2. The ability of systems, equipment, and devices that utilize the
electromagnetic spectrum to operate in their intended operational environments without suffering unacceptable degradation or causing unintentional degradation because of
electromagnetic radiation or
response. It involves the application of sound electromagnetic spectrum management;
system, equipment, and device design
configuration that ensures interference-free
operation; and clear concepts and doctrines that maximize operational effectiveness. [

Electromagnetic Compatibility
<
hardware,
testing> (EMC) The extent to which a piece of hardware will tolerate electrical interference from other equipment, and will interfere with other equipment.
There are strict legal EMC requirements for the sale of any electrical or electronic hardware in most countries, although the actual standards differ. See, for example,
EMCNet.
