Session Abstract

The words “Risk” and “EMC” have become closely related in this last decade and they have been used in various contexts. Therefore, one can ask several questions. What is meant by Electromagnetic Risk? In which context has it been used? We will start with an exploration of the meaning of Risk, Resilience and Functional Safety. We will continue with an exploration of Stakeholders Experience

2:20pm - 2:50pm

Risk in the context of the EMC directive

Anne Roc'h

Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands, The

We will start by exploring the concept of “Electromagnetic Risk” with a look at the European EMC Directive (applicable for many electrical products which fall under its scope). The EMC Directive should not deal with the safety of equipment.



2:50pm - 3:20pm

From Risk-Based EMC to Electromagnetic Resilience: What is in a Name?

Davy Pissoort

KU Leuven, Bruges, Be

This talk traces the shift from risk-based EMC to electromagnetic resilience, highlighting how the change in terminology signals a broader evolution in managing electromagnetic challenges in modern systems. It explores the practical and conceptual implications of this transition, including its impact on design strategies for safety-critical systems.



3:20pm - 3:50pm

Managing Functional Safety and Other Risks that can be Caused by EMI

Keith Armstrong

Cherry Clough Consultants, UK

How to take account of electromagnetic interference (EMI) when managing the risks of safety-critical, safety-related, and other goods as required by various EU legislative acts.
