Feasibility Evaluation for Introducing EMC from the European Economic Community to the Electronic Information Industry in Taiwan

摘要

As the member countries of the European Economic Community established a unified market in Europe, numerous marking and procedural issues related to product verification developed as member countries tried to ensure the quality of the products and services circulating in the European market. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is a testing standard for ensuring products do not cause electromagnetic interference. EMC is crucial for electronic, electrical machinery and information companies in Taiwan that export their products to the European Union. This investigation adopts a questionnaire method for collecting information on the effect of performing EMC items in the electronic, electric machinery and information industries in Taiwan, and statistically defines performance indices measuring importance and ease. A performance matrix introduced by a standardization system is presented. Performance levels are assessed and the strategy for improving the performance of EMC introduction is formulated based on the positions of two indices of EMC essentials on the performance matrix. Finally, critical product function items are specified via the quality function deployment (QFD) method in accordance with EMC fundamentals concepts of low importance with high ease and high importance with low ease. This approach can achieve the best countermeasure to serve as a reference for the electronic, electric machinery and information industries while implementing EMC fundamentals.
