Guidance Document on EMC and Functional Safety
Raising the Awareness of EMC-related Functional Safety
The purpose of this report is to raise the awareness of EMC-related functional safety among directors, managers, designers,
and other professionals. It will show that compliance with the EMC Directive (or its harmonised standards) may not ensure
that EMC-related functional safety issues have been correctly addressed and relevant safety legislation met.
This report also provides guidance on how to deal with EMC as regards functional safety, and should help bridge any gaps between
the EMC and safety disciplines in an organisation.
