EU EMC Directive Compliance Hub

Confirm scope for apparatus or fixed installations, plan emissions and immunity testing, and build the CE-marking technical file for Directive 2014/30/EU with the right conformity-assessment route.

This is a practical reference, not legal advice. The right route depends on your product, its intended environment, whether harmonised standards are fully applied, and whether the equipment is apparatus or part of a fixed installation.
