This document discusses electromagnetic interference (EMI) and compatibility standards. It explains that EMI standards are needed to ensure trouble-free coexistence between electrical systems and compatibility between different systems. There are two types of standards: military standards, which ensure compatibility in real-time military environments and are more stringent than civilian standards, and civilian standards, which apply to commercial, industrial, and domestic equipment and specify emission limits to protect broadcast services from interference. The document outlines some advantages of EMI standards, including increased compatibility, reliability, and product life.
