Checklist of Good EM Engineering Practices
Draft Checklist of Good EM Engineering Practices for Electronic Products,
with references for obtaining more detailed information
All sections cover both emissions and immunity, unless stated otherwise
(Please note: This checklist was created in 2012 and has not been updated since, so should be considered to be a first draft)
The checklist should be treated as a starting point for good EMC design that will save time and cost and improve profitability, because good EMC design is also excellent design for SI and PI (see chapter 1.1 in [1]). The two books referenced above contain much more guidance on good EMC design techniques than can be included in a practical checklist, and both may only be purchased from www.emcacademy.org/books.asp. Keith Armstrong’s “Cost-Effective EMC Design” training courses are kept up to date and will therefore include additional material to what is included in these books.

- And much more!
Electromagnetic Engineering (EMgineering) is the basis for proven good design practices for signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and the control of EMI emissions and immunity (EMC).
Our aim is to help people learn how to more quickly and cost-effectively design and manufacture electronic equipment (products, systems, installations, etc.) to meet functional (i.e. SI/PI) specifications and conform to EMC standards, directives and other requirements.
Such equipment should benefit from reduced warranty costs and financial risks, whilst improving uptime, competitiveness and profitability.
We also cover basic good electrical safety engineering; and the Risk Management of Electromagnetic Disturbances / EMI, whether for Functional Safety or other types of risk.
