Events
Colloque International sur la compatibilité électromagnétique (next: CEM'2010), held every even-numbered year, is a French-language conference that brings together the entire French-speaking EMC community.
The IEEE symposium on EMC is held annually in the summer in the USA.
The RF Hyper trade show is held annually in autumn in Paris.
Standards and norms
Standards and normative documents are available in France from AFNOR for non-electrical documents, and from AFNOR for electrical documents translated into French. For documents concerning electricity and therefore electromagnetic compatibility, international documents are available from UTE. They are in French (left-hand page) and English (right-hand page) for IEC and CISPR documents. Both languages carry the same...
