  Electromagnetic compatibility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the branch of electrical sciences which studies the unintentional generation, propagation and reception of electromagnetical energy with reference to the unwanted effects that such an energy may induce.
In particular, the aim of EMC is the correct operation, in the same environment, of different equipments which involve electromagnetic phenomena in their operation.
These are "TC77" working on "electromagnetic compatibility between equipment including networks", and the International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR).

 Electromagnetic interference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is electromagnetic radiation which is emitted by electrical circuits carrying rapidly changing signals, as a by-product of their normal operation, and which causes unwanted signals (interference or noise) to be induced in other circuits.
It can be induced intentionally, as in some forms of electronic warfare, or unintentionally, as a result of spurious emissions and responses, intermodulation products, and the like.
Based on our data and the available literature, we believe it is reasonably safe to permit the use of cellular phones in the intensive care unit, as long as they are kept > or =3 feet from all medical devices.

Electromagnetic compatibility is described in IEC 60601-1-2 (1993) with the replacement and additional requirements contained Subclauses 6.8.201(a) (except for the reference to 36.201.1.3), (b) and (c).
Address electromagnetic compatibility in the premarket notification by describing and testing the performance characteristics under all applicable circumstances when operating from grounded and ungrounded ac power sources (i.e., with the third-wire ground connected and with it disconnected at the plug end of the power cord).
The immunity level should be the level stated, adjusted upward by the rms sum of all errors in the measurement of that quantity, with the exception of the lower steady-state ac voltage limit and the line-voltage sag level, which should be adjusted downward by the rms sum of the measurement errors.
