Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility

Protecting broadcasting services and people from RF interference and emissions.

Scope

EBU Members and other broadcasters rely on radio spectrum for content creation and distribution. Whether it is assessing health hazards from wireless production tools, broadcast distribution equipment, or Wi-Fi, the EIC group provides Members with advice on the best ways to ensure compliance with RF exposure regulations. We also support the protection of both people and services vital to broadcasting from sources of harmful electromagnetic interference — including not only other licensed services but the growing range of electrical and electronic devices in everyday use.

Objectives

We protect broadcasting services and wireless production tools from all aspects of electromagnetic compatibility, provide Members with guidance on RF hazard issues regarding human exposure and safety, and promote Members' interests in the development of relevant standards and regulations. We monitor developments in EMC regulation, engage with standards bodies, and provide practical guidance to help Members navigate compliance challenges.
