What You’ll Learn
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards evolve continuously as working groups update documents with new information and technology. Sometimes these changes are driven by innovation, and other times by mandatory renewal cycles.
In this masterclass, Karen Burnham, Vice President of Standards at the IEEE EMC Society, will share the most important global updates and what they mean for your engineering team working on hardware projects. You’ll gain clarity on which standards to track, how upcoming revisions could affect your projects, and even how you can contribute to shaping the future of EMC standards.
✅ Latest Global Updates — Insights on CISPR, IEC, and IEEE standards currently under revision
✅ Drivers of Change — How innovation and renewal cycles push standards forward
✅ Engineer Involvement — Why standards are written by working engineers, and how you can join working groups
✅ Planning Ahead — What to watch for in upcoming revisions and how to stay prepared
You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of the standards landscape in 2025 and practical guidance on where to focus your attention.
