All ~lectrical and electronic technologies emit EM disturbances that can interfere with the correct operation of radio-communications or other electronics. Modem electronic technologies are in general more likely to cause such disturbances than those AH electronic technologies can also suffer from degraded fimctionality (including complete failure) when exposed to EM disturbances. Modem electronic technologies are in general more likely to be susceptible in this way than thos~ Electroni6 technology is increasingly used in safety-related applications. Consequently, errors and misoperation of electronic devices due to inadequate EMC can result in hazardous situations with an increased risk of harm to penple's health and safety."
