The EMC Club

The EMC Club was founded more than 30 years ago, in 1990, with the offering of a "test-it-yourself sandbox" for EMC testing and measurements. The first meeting was held in May 1991. Force Technology manages the EMC Club, and the club's focus on sharing knowledge and exchanging experiences is unchanged. Today, the TestSelv ("test-it-yourself") service offers pre-testing for a variety of EMC phenomena.

At its 10 annual meetings, the EMC Club discusses EMC requirements, design, testing and approval, and presentations introduce members to new EMC concepts and tools. Seven meetings are centred around particular topics, and three are test-it-yourself workshops. Usually, each meeting is held twice: once at Force Technology's Hørsholm location and once at its Aarhus location.

The eight topical meetings are centred around topics relevant to the EMC field. These topics are determined by Force Technology, generally based on club members' wishes. Club members have regular opportunities to influence the EMC Club's future activities and focus areas by selecting topics for upcoming meetings.

At topical meetings, Force Technology provides relevant information, and members share their experiences, knowledge, and case studies. Individuals and businesses with relevant knowledge are invited to give presentations when possible, enabling the EMC Club to benefit from the expertise of domestic and international specialists who are not members of the EMC Club.

The EMC Club's members work in a variety of industries, and the club addresses aspects of EMC ranging from approval management and requirements specifications to EMC design and development, as well as EMC testing and approval for installations and for on-site troubleshooting. 

Language

Due to the club's networking character, most meetings are held in Danish. When presenters are not Danish speakers, the meetings may instead be announced as held in English. Slides from presentations are most often in English.

Members of the EMC Club may use Force Technology's TestSelv ("test-it-yourself") facilities at its Hørsholm and Aarhus locations. These facilities offer members the opportunity to conduct their own pre-testing in accordance with a range of fundamental standards as they work to develop their products.
