Why do household appliances need EMI conducted emission test?

In order to assess whether or not they are compliant with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) norms and standards, household appliances are put to electromagnetic interference conducted emission testing. These laws and standards have been put in place to ensure that electronic equipment do not result in interference that is disruptive to the operation of other electronic devices. EMC has become a significant concern in recent years due to the proliferation of electronic equipment found in homes and the widespread usage of such equipment in day-to-day activities. Testing home appliances for electromagnetic interference (EMI) is necessary because of this. EMC has become a significant concern because of these two factors. Home appliances have the potential to emit an excessive quantity of electromagnetic radiation if they are not designed with an acceptable EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) design. As a consequence of this, it is possible that the functionality of other electronic de
