Electromagnetic Compatibility
     
         (EMC) The extent to which a piece of
        hardware will tolerate electrical interference from other
        equipment, and will interfere with other equipment.
     
        There are strict legal EMC requirements for the sale of any
        electrical or electronic hardware in most countries, although
        the actual standards differ.  See, for example, {EMCNet
        (http://www.emcnet.com/)}.
     
        See also {Electrostatic Discharge}, {Radio Frequency
        Interference}.
