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. As an example, a lady died as a result of EMC
sensitivity between the warlike talkie in the ambulance and the heart
machine.

Lots of us here; I'm one and few of mine are in there. Do be aware that
a good many of those Banana Skins were just High School Physics -- at
least for an experienced military tech and longtime Ham Operator (guilty
on both counts).
Lots of fun. There was one time I got a whole SW engineering team to sit
on wet seat cushions, and another I found a product problem by using a
disconnected hot plate... certifiable Mad Scientist type, and I'm
writing a memoir, yes I am.
