EMC's Technical Information Documents Series Offers Practical Guidance on Electromagnetic Compatibility
The Technical Information Documents (TID) series, published by the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) organisation, provides detailed and practical guidance on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards, test methods, and best practices. These documents aim to supplement existing EMC standards by offering practical insights, clarifications, application notes, and technical background that help engineers and compliance professionals understand and implement EMC requirements effectively.
The TID series includes explanations of EMC principles and technical concepts, detailed descriptions of test methods and equipment setups, guidance on applying EMC standards to specific equipment types or environments, case studies or examples demonstrating compliance strategies, and updates or clarifications responding to evolving standards or regulatory needs.
Some notable documents from the TID series include:
- The "Collection of Monographs and Papers Vol I" was published in October 1978 (TID 020).
- A document regarding the "Effective Duct Area Calculation" was published on May 6, 1989 (TID 03).
- "Derivation of Delta H(@)" was published on March 20, 1989 (TID 01).
- A Method 305 Table of HON Wastewater Compounds was published on December 2, 1998 (TID 015).
- Clarification of Method 9 Certification Requirements was published on June 11, 2001 (TID 018).
- Methods 201 and 201A in the presence of water droplets were discussed in a document published on September 9, 1991 (TID 09).
- Glassware Cleaning for Method 23 was published in June 1980 (TID 016).
- A summary of Method 204 Package Comments was published on July 13, 1997 (TID 013).
- Collection of Monographs and Papers Vol. IV was published in October 1978 (TID 023).
- A document titled "Opacity of Combined Gas Streams" was published on November 9, 1991 (TID 017).
- Collection of Monographs and Papers Vol II was published in October 1978 (TID 021).
- Test Method 6C Guidance was published on April 14, 1992 (TID 012).
- An evaluation of Sampling Method for Acetonitrile Emissions was published in April 1997 (TID 014).
- A Quadruplicate (Quad Train) Sampling Probe Arrangement was discussed in a document published on September 27, 1991 (TID 010).
- Clarification of Method 5, 201a, and 6 Requirements was published on March 5, 1997 (TID 019).
- A memo on Rounding and Significant Figures was published on June 6, 1990 (TID 024).
- Collection of Monographs and Papers Vol III was published in October 1978 (TID 022).
- The Isokinetic Equation for Method 5D was published on February 21, 1989 (TID 02).
These documents aim to facilitate more uniform understanding and application of EMC standards such as MIL-STD-461 (military EMC requirements) and IEC standards relevant to medical and other electrical devices. While the official search results do not explicitly detail the TID series, the EMC United website and similar EMC-focused organizations commonly use TIDs as educational and reference resources to support standards compliance and testing.
In summary, the EMC’s Technical Information Documents (TID) series functions as a practical, technical knowledge resource that complements formal EMC standards by providing detailed explanations, procedural guidance, and application insights aimed at ensuring effective electromagnetic compatibility compliance.
Water droplets are discussed in the context of Methods 201 and 201A in a document named 'TID 09', published on September 9, 1991.
Data and cloud computing can potentially benefit from the practical insights on EMC standards and test methods offered by the TID series, as these documents aid in effective implementation of electromagnetic compatibility requirements, and this information can be used to manage EMC issues in electronics or machinery that are impacted by cloud-based technologies.
