iNARTE Certified EMC Engineers and Technicians
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of equipments or systems to function as designed in their intended operational environment without adversely affecting the operation of or being affected by, other equipments or systems. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is the deleterious effects of electromagnetic waves that come from electrical and electronic devices. These two terms are used somewhat interchangeably when applied to personnel who work in this area. EMC/EMI control engineers and technicians use areas of technology such as bonding, grounding, shielding, EMI prediction, EMI analysis, conducted and radiated interference, lightning protection and more.
iNARTE Certified EMC engineers and technicians work on advanced technology systems and components in industries that include automotive, aerospace and military applications.

iNARTE Certified ESDC Engineers and Technicians
Static electricity is defined as an electrical charge caused by an imbalance of electrons on the surface of a material. This imbalance of electrons produces an electric field that can be measured and that can influence other objects at a distance. Electrostatic discharge is defined as the transfer of charge between bodies at different electrical potentials.
Electrostatic discharge can change the electrical characteristics of a semiconductor device, degrading or destroying it. Electrostatic discharge also may upset the normal operation of an electronic system, causing equipment malfunction or failure. Another problem caused by static electricity occurs in clean rooms. Charged surfaces can attract and hold contaminants, making removal from the environment difficult. When attracted to the surface of a silicon wafer or a device's electrical circuitry, these particulates can cause random wafer defects and reduce product yields.
iNARTE Certified ESDC Engineers and Technicians work on advanced technology, production and control systems and components in industries that include consumer manufacturing, automotive, aerospace and military applications. iNARTE certified ESDC (electrostatic discharge control) engineers and technicians training and experience have primarily focused on elimination of problems, engineering design and corrective measures associated with minimizing or eliminating damage effects from electrostatic discharge.

iNARTE Certified Product Safety (PS) Engineers and Technicians
iNARTE product safety certification focuses on engineering and practice to reduce types of risk to persons, animals and property that have to be covered by a formal hazard analysis to meet the requirements of the relevant legislation. The ability to effectively manage product safety in design, manufacture, installation and operational use is a mandatory requirement of all world - wide product safety legislation.
A certified product safety engineer or technician typically develops and conducts tests to evaluate product safety levels and recommends measures to reduce or eliminate hazards: They establish procedures for detection and elimination of physical and electrical hazards and avoidance of potential toxic effects and other product hazards. They investigate causes of accidents, injuries, and illnesses resulting from product usage and develop solutions. They may also evaluate potential health hazards or damage which could result from misuse of products and apply engineering principles and product standards to improve safety. They may also participate in preparation of product usage and precautionary label instructions.
