4: Joost reviews your PCB layout and writes the report

5: You receive a digital report with practical PCB layout improvement recommendations to improve EMI performance

FAQ

  • Our recommendations are aimed to reduce EMI on board level because PCB layout is the foundation of EMC compliance. As EMC tests are performed on system level we cannot guarantee compliance. Request a consult if you require assistance with EMC aspects that go beyond PCB layout design.

  • Data files are stored on a secure server in Europe. We only use your data for the review. Data will be deleted 1 month after delivery of the recommendation report. See our terms for more information.

  • Tools that can export in ODB++ data format. Submitting ODB++ data and a .pdf schematic is sufficient.

  • When the copper layer designs of the PCB are finished. The review can often be performed in parallel to a Mechanical review of the PCB.

  • Yes, that is a smart strategy. Request a consult so we can tackle the main risks on forehand.

  • Yes! Request a consult so we can solve the issue.

  • No. Our service is focused on EMI reduction towards EMC.

EMC certification used to be a notorious process with several iterations. Joost improved our design in an early phase of the project and we passed in one go!
