I was talking with an EMC engineer at our facility and he introduced me
to a site called Banana Skins. This is a list of EMC immunity problems
that should be considered for product design. Apparently complying
with the standard (if there is one) can have rather disastrous results.
No immunity standard claims to ensure perfect immunity.
As an example, a lady died as a result of EMC sensitivity between the
warlike talkie
'Saving Private Ryan'?
in the ambulance and the heart machine.
Not really a subject to joke about.
It should be understood that these incidents are very rare, but it is
always necessary to consider 'What could go wrong?' One difficulty is
that immunity data on some products, particularly medical products, is
virtually impossible to obtain.
