EMC and safety requirements are a cost without a sale. That is what a VP of marketing told me. For the most part, management would prefer to keep the costs at a minimum. EMC, ROHS, and safety requirements are rules that the products must comply with in order to sell in various countries. 1) The requirements must be included in the design of the product. 2) Tests verify that the product complies with the requirements and determine whether the product can bear certification marks. 3) Marks applied to the product attest to compliance with the requirements. 4) For some countries, documents accompanying the product attest to compliance with the requirements. 5) Some countries and certification houses require factory inspection as a condition for marking the product. 6) Some certification houses require periodic factory surveillance. 7) The cost of compliance at our company is The number of full-time employees in this activity is I¹m sure that you can amplify on any of these points if asked.
