Papers abstracts
Developments in EMC Standards - John Woodgate
John will describe changes in EMC standards in 2015.
Electromagnetic Aspects of Safety
The EMC Directive only considers 'functionality' within its scope. However
it is widely known and accepted the EM phenomena can have an effect on
safety. This talk will highlight how EM safety assessments are mandated and
what manufacturers should consider as part of product compliance with
references to both the LVD and Machinery directives.
Interference Control in Audio Systems - Anthony Waldron
Anthony will present his latest thinking on the subject.
Art appreciation for engineers - Alistair Duffy
No, your committee cannot predict the content of this presentation either!
Alistair will give us a light-hearted presentation in his inimitable style.
Information on speakers
John Woodgate
John Woodgate was awarded the Bachelor of Science (Engineering) degree of
London University. He is a Chartered Engineer, a Member of the Institution
of Engineering and Technology, a Member of the Institute of Acoustics, an
Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Sound and Communications Engineers, a
Senior Member of IEEE and a Fellow of the Audio Engineering Society.
He is at present Chairman of the British Standards technical committee
dealing with multimedia equipment and systems. He is a member of BSI
committees on EMC and electroacoustics, a past Chairman of the Audio
Engineering Society British Section and vice-chair of AES Standards
Sub-committee SC-05 He has made major contributions to important
international standards including IEC 60118-4, IEC 62489-1 and IEC 62489-2,
all concerning hearing loop equipment and systems (AFILS).
James Daniels, ESQ Consultant, Element
James has many years of experience in helping manufacturers understand and
meet their obligations regarding product compliance and CE marking;
following several years working as Technical Manager for an EMC filter
manufacturer, James held the position of Technical Director at a CE marking
test and consultancy company, where he led a team that provided expert
advice, training and testing services to a wide range of companies in
regards to the majority of CE marking directives. James is now working for
Element Materials Technology as their Early Stage Qualification consultant,
continuing to provide guidance to manufacturers in regards to CE marking and
global certification.
Anthony Waldron
Anthony Waldron's interest in interference control developed during the
1980s while working as Head of Sound at the Royal National Theatre. The
close association of analogue audio electronics and the computer control
systems necessary for theatre production produced interference problems that
could not be solved using the accepted audio engineering design techniques.
After specifying new audio control systems for the Royal National Theatre,
the manufacturing company - CADAC Electronics - employed him as Technical
Manager.
Since 1994, he has specialized in design techniques for obtaining EMC
compliance for audio equipment, working closely with customers and system
integrators to help them get the best performance from the company's
products and from other system components that they need to work with. He
now runs an EMC consultancy, specializing in audio equipment and systems.
Professor Alistair Duffy BEng(Hons), MEng, MBA, PhD, CEng, FIET, IEEE Fellow
Alistair Duffy is a Fellow of the IEEE and a past Distinguished Lecturer.
His interests are in numerical electromagnetics, measurements and the
cross-validation of both of these. He is Professor of Electromagnetics at
De Montfort University, Leicester.
The event is an open meeting, with all welcome. There is no charge for
