The EMC Directive (2004/108/EC)
The EMC Directive, 2004/108/EC, sets the requirements for the control of emissions and immunity that products must meet in order to receive the CE Mark. It covers all electrical and electronic products, in particular household appliances, data-processing equipment, information technology equipment, telecommunications equipment and machinery.

Some products, such as automotive and medical devices, are required to meet the EMC requirements of product-specific directives. In these cases, the EMC requirements specified in each directive take precedence over those stated in the EMC Directive.

These standards may be applied immediately to demonstrate presumption of conformity with the EMC Directive. They must be applied on or before the presumption of conformity cessation dates.

What I like about CMG is that their staff always works with me to find creative solutions to problems no matter what the issue. Whether it’s scheduling in order to help us meet product development deadlines, researching international standards and regulations, or utilizing their expertise in resolving test failures, the people at CMG work with me as if they were members of my own team.

At Bose, we consider CMG to be a key business partner. While there are many test labs, CMG routinely offers service without conditions. We know that CMG will bring our projects in on or ahead of schedule while always providing the highest quality service. In today’s ever changing environment it is crucial for us to have suppliers and partners that can adapt to and meet our needs when called upon. CMG has demonstrated that meeting their client’s needs is their main objective and that focus has translated to their current and continued success

This past weekend, two of my key engineers were at your facility working a highly visible and critical program for Northrop Grumman, the ATFLIR program supporting the FA-18s. I wanted to pass along my sincerest thanks to you for arranging support at your facility, and most particularly to the two gentlemen, Dan Gordon and Bernie Cameron, who worked with us on Friday, October 13th and Saturday, October 14th. Without their professional assistance and support, we could not have managed to achieve all that we did in such a short time or on such short notice. Both should be commended for providing top notch level of support. I have been told by both Northrop Grumman engineers who were at your facility that Dan and Bernie gave 110% effort. Please express to each our thanks, not only for their support, but for giving up a part of their personal time on our behalf.

Lorrie Gampp, ATFLIR 1550 Program Manager, Northrop Grumman

I would like to express my appreciation for the support I received from your organization on our latest round of testing last week of the APR-39A Receiver Assemblies. I would especially like to thank your technical staff, particularly Dan and Bernie, for successful test profiling and after-hour support on a holiday weekend. Timely completion of the testing sequence represented approximately 400K in end of year sales for our Littleton Operation. Thanks again and I look forward to future programs with your organization.
