Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of electrical equipment and systems to function acceptably in their electromagnetic environment, by limiting the unintentional generation, propagation and reception of electromagnetic energy which may cause unwanted effects such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) or even physical damage to operational equipment. The goal of EMC is the correct operation of different equipment in a common electromagnetic environment. It is also the name given to the associated branch of electrical engineering.
Conformance testing — an element of conformity assessment, and also known as compliance testing, or type testing — is testing or other activities that determine whether a process, product, or service complies with the requirements of a specification, technical standard, contract, or regulation. Testing is often either logical testing or physical testing. The test procedures may involve other criteria from mathematical testing or chemical testing. Beyond simple conformance, other requirements for efficiency, interoperability, or compliance may apply. Conformance testing may be undertaken by the producer of the product or service being assessed, by a user, or by an accredited independent organization, which can sometimes be the author of the standard being used. When testing is accompanied by certification, the products or services may then be advertised as being certified in compliance with the referred technical standard. Manufacturers and suppliers of products and services rely on such certification including listing on the certification body's website, to assure quality to the end user and that competing suppliers are on the same level.
The German Commission for Electrotechnical, Electronic & Information Technologies of DIN and VDE, abbreviated DKE, is the German organisation responsible for the development and adoption of standards and safety specifications in the areas of electrical engineering, electronics and information technologies.
Useware is a generic term introduced in 1998. It denotes all hardware and software components of a technical system that serves its interactive use. The main idea of the term Useware is the focus on technical design according to human abilities and needs. The only promising method to design future technical products and systems is to understand human abilities and limitations, and to focus the technology on these abilities and limitations.
The IECEE is the IEC System of Conformity Assessment Schemes for Electrotechnical Equipment and Components being a body of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The IEC uses the name IECEE for the IEC System for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrotechnical Equipment and Components that is better known as the CB System
Wolfgang Gerhard Herbert Steinert was a German electrical engineer.
The German National Platform for Electric Mobility is an advisory council of the German Federal Government for electric vehicle introduction. It consists of the top representatives of industry, politics (6), science (3), associations (3) and unions (1). It was officially established on 3 May 2010 during a meeting with German chancellor Angela Merkel. Its task is to push on the National Development Plan for Electric Mobility. The goal for 2020 of the NPE is to develop Germany to the leading supplier and lead market for electric mobility and to gain an employment effect of 30,000 additional jobs.
Eugen Wüster was an industrialist and terminologist, regarded as "the father of technological standardization".
Detlef Zuehlke is a German engineer and professor.
The VDMA represents 3.600 German and European mechanical and plant engineering companies. The industry stands for innovation, export orientation and SMEs. The companies employ a total of around 3 million people in the EU-27, more than 1.2 million of them in Germany alone. This makes mechanical and plant engineering the largest employer among the capital goods industries, both in the EU-27 and in Germany. In the European Union, it represents a turnover volume of an estimated 860 billion euros. Around 80 percent of the machinery sold in the EU comes from a manufacturing plant in the domestic market.
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 39 Sustainability for and by Information Technology is a standardization subcommittee of the Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1 of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), that develops and facilitates standards within the field of sustainability and resource efficiency through Information Technology. The international secretariat of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 39 is the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), located in the United States.

EUREL, the Convention of National Associations of Electrical Engineers of Europe, is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, composed of 12 national members associations in 11 countries in greater Europe.
User Association of Automation Technology in Process Industries (NAMUR), established in 1949, is an international association for users of automation technology and digitalization in the process industries with its headquarters in Leverkusen, Germany. The association represents the interests of, and supports the experience exchange among over 160 member companies and with other associations and organizations. Work results are published in the form of NAMUR recommendations and worksheets and submitted to national and international standardization bodies as proposed standards.

Karl Reinisch was a German electrical engineer and professor for control engineering in Ilmenau. Under his lead, a solid foundation for automation and system technology for cybernetics was developed at the Technische Universität Ilmenau. For many years, he was active at the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC).
Ulrich Jakobus is Senior Vice President - Electromagnetic Solutions of Altair, Germany and was awarded Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2013 for leadership in hybrid computational tool development and commercialization. His research laid the foundations for the commercial electromagnetics code FEKO which is used in antenna design, antenna placement, electromagnetic compatibility, microwave components, bioelectromagnetics, radar cross section and related fields.
Matthias Kraume is a German Chemical and Process Engineer and university professor. He is a professor of process engineering at the Technical University of Berlin and a member of the advisory board of Chemie Ingenieur Technik (CIT), the monthly journal of the Society of German Chemists (GDCh).
The Hütte - Das Ingenieurwissen is a reference work for engineers of various disciplines. It was compiled for the first time in 1857 by the Akademischer Verein Hütte of the Königliches Gewerbe-Institut in Berlin, from which the association of German engineers Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (VDI) emerged. The authors were members of the association. The technical illustrations were created in woodcut technique by Otto Ebel. It is published in constantly revised editions to this day and is therefore the oldest German reference work still available today.
