Applied Technical Services Family of Services (FoC) provides EN 55032 Certification services, assisting manufacturers in assessing the electromagnetic emissions of multimedia and IT equipment for compliance with European EMC standards. EN 55032 sets emission limits to ensure electronic devices do not interfere with nearby equipment.
Our certification testing supports product development, regulatory documentation, and EMC compliance, aiding organizations in preparing equipment for CE marking and distribution in the European Economic Area and other markets recognizing EMC standards.
Why EN 55032 Certification Matters for Multimedia Equipment
EN 55032 Certification testing determines if multimedia equipment complies with specified electromagnetic emission limits. Electronic devices can unintentionally emit electromagnetic signals, potentially disrupting radio communications, wireless networks, broadcast systems, or other nearby electronics.
The EN 55032 standard targets multimedia equipment (MME), including devices incorporating IT, audio, video, broadcasting, or telecommunications functions. It is harmonized under the EU EMC Directive (2014/30/EU) and is widely used to confirm conformity with EMC requirements for CE marking.
Conducting EN 55032 testing allows manufacturers to verify that their equipment meets the necessary emission limits before entering the European market.
What EN 55032 Evaluates
The goal of EN 55032 Certification testing is to measure electromagnetic emissions generated by multimedia equipment and determine whether those emissions remain within acceptable regulatory limits. Testing typically includes but is not limited to the evaluation of:
- Radiated emissions, which measure electromagnetic energy emitted through the air from device circuitry or cables
- Conducted emissions, which measure disturbances transmitted through power lines or signal connections
- Emission limits for different operating environments, depending on the intended use of the equipment
The standard defines two equipment classifications:
- Class A equipment, intended for commercial or industrial environments.
- Class B equipment, intended for residential environments with stricter emission limits.
Testing is performed using specialized EMC instrumentation in controlled laboratory environments designed to measure electromagnetic activity accurately.
Industries That Commonly Require EN 55032 Certification
As multimedia and connected devices become increasingly common, EN 55032 certification is widely used across industries that manufacture electronic equipment with computing, audio, or video capabilities. Common sectors include:
- Consumer electronics and home entertainment devices
- Information technology and computing hardware
- Telecommunications and networking equipment
- Professional audio and video systems
- Digital broadcasting and media equipment
- Smart devices and connected electronics
Manufacturers in these industries rely on emissions testing to evaluate product electromagnetic compatibility before entering regulated markets.
