If you could wish for anything, what would it be?

In a busy workweek, where Christmas and end of the year add to the speed, 'time' often appears at the top of our wish lists. Knowing that planning and preparations make sense, time does not always make room for these activities.
 
In this edition of Agenda, you can read about how you get ready for the new EMC Standard by 1 January - and how to prepare if you want to avoid system breakdown when rolling out an IoT-system. We also invite you to share your wishes for standardisation activities, so we can prepare some interesting events for you in the new year.
 
We wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Agenda is back in January.
 
Best regards from

IOT-VIDEO

Explore the benefits of IoT

We know all the buzz word Internet of Things (IoT) and have heard the typical story about connected products. But how does this develop in practice? In this video you can see how to explore the benefits of IoT.

LEGISLATION AND STANDARDS

Are your medical devices ready for the new EMC-standard?

1 January 2019 the new EMC-standard for medical electrical equipment comes into full effect, and the transition period for the old EMC-standard is ending. The differences between the two EMC-versions are significant and worth looking into if you want to continue selling your products in the EU. Here is an overview of the things you should pay particular attention to.

LEGISLATION AND STANDARDS

New WHO-guidelines on noise

Noise has negative consequences for human health and well-being, giving rise to growing concern both in the public and amoung policy makers in Europe. Noise, together with air pollution, poses the greatest environmental health risks. To protect human health, WHO has developed new guidelines for noise in Europe.

IOT

Availability as an IoT driver

When rolling out IoT systems on a large scale, the systems are often challenged by breakdowns and lack of data, due to network errors, differences in installation, variation in sensor data, and the system's overall integrity. This article explains what happens when data from electronics become part of a supply chain, and what you need to take into account when rolling out large wireless networks in an IoT context. 

SURVEY

Which standardisation activities would you like in 2019?

FORCE Technology kindly asks you to spend a few minutes answering 5 questions about your company's future standardisation needs. Your input is non-binding and will support our planning of future standardisation activities.

RELIABILITY

Lifetime and electrical stressors

Electronics's lifespan is influenced by temperature, moisture, and vibration, but also by electrical influences like large pulse currents in components and in the worst case explosion or burning. A newly developed estimation tool for mathematical modeling of electrical and thermal conditions is focusing on this issue. This tool can be used to evaluate stressors for wear and tear on electronics.
