Emissions versus Immunity

Topic:  Should we be more concerned with emission compliance or immunity protection?
 
The field of EMC deals with electrical equipment operating within an "intended" environment. When we examine our environment and the products that most of us use, what aspect of EMC should we be more concerned with?  Almost everyone has a hand phone, iPAD or other iProduct, wireless Internet, and numerous other electrical products. The RF spectrum is overloaded with EMI.  With much RF energy out there already, will another unintentional signal really cause an EMI event especially since products already have to meet FCC/CE requirements?
 
Should we be more concerned with increasing the immunity level of electrical products against harmful interference or making sure that FCC requirements are met, with a focus only on emissions and not immunity?
 
Comments, debate and opinions are requested.
 

Welcome to Montrose Compliance Services

Welcome to my web site, newly redesigned for enhanced delivery of content. Here one will find tibits of information related to EMC engineering, mostly with a view toward understanding concepts and design techniques using a non-traditional manner. 
 
We at the company believe the EMC education and training should be easy to understand without the need for extensive EM theory or math.  Details on services are found on this site.
 
Feel free to post questions or comments on any aspect of regulatory compliance; product safety engineering or electromagnetic compatibility
