Electromagnetic Compatibility Standardization (EMCS) Lead Standardization Activity

Scope

The DoD Electromagnetic Compatibility Standardization (EMCS) area addresses requirements and procedures to achieve EMC, within all frequency ranges of platforms, facilities, electrical and electronic systems/equipment, circuits and components. Included are:

1. Standards for prediction, measurement and validation for EMC
2. Standards for techniques and procedures relating to grounding, bonding, and shielding
3. Standards for prevention and control of electromagnetic radiation to personnel and equipment (including hazardous material and substances)
4. Standards relating to the prevention of deleterious electromagnetic effects resulting from nuclear detonations (e.g., EMI and EMP).

Responsibilities

Lead Standardization Authorities (LSAs) shall manage and coordinate standardization efforts to ensure the optimal degree of standardization across the DoD to:

• Ensure  with our allies and among the military departments
• Allow for rapid insertion of new technology to promote modernization of equipment
• Maintain awareness of standardization needs and activities in the DoD
• Serve as the DoD-wide technical focal point
• Evaluate and approve or disapprove requests for standardization projects, assign numbers for approved projects, and ensure that no standardization documents are developed or revised that do not comply with the policies and procedures of the Defense Standardization Program (DSP)
• Suggest alternative approaches to requesters when standardization projects are disapproved
• Recommend changes to standardization policies and procedures to their Departmental Standardization Office (DepSo)
• Resolve standardization problems between SMAs or elevate the problem to their DepSo for appropriate action.
• Identify chronic standardization problems or noncompliance with policies and procedures to their DepSo
• Help non-government standardization bodies to identify DoD personnel to serve on technical committees or adopting activities
