Afternoon Meeting Agenda.
13:15 - 13:20 Welcome. Alan Warner Chair IEEE EMC Soc UK and Ireland.
13:20 - 14:00 In-vehicle exposure to low frequency magnetic fields. Dr.
Alastair Ruddle, Computational Electromagnetics Specialist, MIRA Ltd.
The need to assess the possible exposure of vehicle occupants to low
frequency magnetic fields is an emerging vehicle design requirement that is
of particular significance for vehicles with electrical powertrains. This
paper outlines the nature of the potential threats, methods for their
evaluation, and practical mitigation measures that could be adopted to limit
occupant exposure.
14:00 - 14:30 EN 300 328: Versions V1.7.1, V1.8.1, V1.8.2 and V1.9.1 -
Michael Derby, Regulatory Engineer ACB Europe
A brief overview of the history, the technical testing changes and the new
challenges. The presentation will include the reasons for the changes and
the important timescales. This is a widely used standard for WLAN,
Bluetooth and Zigbee devices. The presentation will be important to
manufacturers, test labs and Notified Bodies.
14:30 - 14:40 Update briefing on the transition dates for the new EMC
Directive and Radio Equipment Directive. Brian Jones BSc. (Hons) C Eng MIET
SMIEEE, EMC Consultant
A clarification of implementation dates and validity of Declarations of
Conformity
14:40 - 15:10 Break.
15:10 - 15:20 Briefing presentation on the next Chapter meeting at
Baldock Monitoring Station scheduled for 25th March 2015. Neville Wain,
Ofcom.
15:20 - 16:00 The Radio Equipment Directive and spectrum policy in the UK
Dave Donachie, Project Manager R&TTED/RED, Ofcom.
16:00 - 16:40 Electromagnetic compatibility below 150 kHz - is there a
solution? John Ryan, Consultant,
At the last presentation on this topic in 2012 a solution to the issue of
corruption of meter readings, a serious matter because these are subject to
legal metrology, had been instituted, but other identified conflicts,
including inverters/AICs, low-energy lighting and aging of filter capacitors
remain largely unresolved. Such disturbances are mainly conductive and all
too often involve new energy efficient technologies and renewable energy
sources. This presentation looks at the current situation - suggestions for
solutions welcome! CENELEC FprTR 50627 is under vote with a deadline of 5th
December and gives many examples of measurements on similar interference
cases.
16:45 Finish
Après-meeting.
The meeting will be followed by optional Après-meeting networking at a
London pub:

Information available on speakers:
Alastair Ruddle has been with MIRA Limited since 1996, working primarily on
the use of numerical modelling methods to investigate electromagnetic issues
for automotive and other applications. Specific areas of interest include
EMC, installed performance of antennas, and human exposure to
electromagnetic fields, as well as associated test and measurement methods.
Brian Jones is an independent EMC Consultant. For the past two years his
major customer has been the European Commission, whom he advises on the
suitability of candidate harmonised standards for listing in the Official
Journal of the European Union. He is speaking here in a personal capacity.
Dave Donachie is Project Manager, R&TTED and RED in the Spectrum Technology
Policy Team in Ofcom. He trained as a civilian apprentice with the MoD in
radio engineering. After some time in the private sector working for
various companies in the PMR and cellular industry he worked for the Radio
Communications Agency based first in Scotland, then transferred to the
policy team in London. He transferred to Ofcom at its inception and became
involved in European Regulatory Committees for the R&TTE Directive. He was
involved in the revision of the R&TTE Directive, discussions on which
started in 2007. This resulted in the RED being adopted recently. Dave is
project manager for the R&TTE Directive and RED within Ofcom and is
particularly focused on the spectrum and standards aspects related to the
RED.
John Ryan is a consultant to the Energy Networks Association on powerline
carrier issues. Following his graduation from Imperial College he began his
career with EMI Central Research Labs where he remained for nearly 30 years,
working at various times on computer memories, remote terminals, data
communications, X-ray computed tomography image reconstruction and finally
powerline carrier systems. He joined the Electricity Association is 1994 and
became a part-time consultant for the Energy Networks Association in 2003.
He is a former Secretary to TC 210, an expert on TC 210/WG11, Secretary of
CENELEC SC205A and the CENELEC/ETSI JWG on EMC of Networks.
Michael Derby is the senior regulatory review engineer and Director of ACB
