INSTRUCTIONS
EMC DESIGN ENGINEER CERTIFICATION CRITERIA
1. Complete the online Application and submit the non-refundable examination fee for the
requested examination.
2. Submission of the application form implies agreement to adhere to the iNARTE Code of Ethics.
3. Provide specific record of nine years or more of experience in engineering work. Provide an up-to-
date resume or complete the EMC Detailed Work History Form
a. Graduation from an iNARTE-approved engineering curriculum of four years shall be
considered equivalent to four years of such required experience.
b. Graduation in a physical science curriculum other than engineering will be evaluated by
iNARTE.
c. Graduation from a college with a BSET in Engineering Technology (BSET) shall be
considered as equivalent to two years of such required experience.
d. Graduation in a curriculum other than engineering or physical science will be evaluated by
iNARTE.
e. The completion of five (5) years of EMC design work experience shall be considered as
sufficient work experience without regard to educational achievements.
f. Undergraduates may attempt the examination and if successful will be awarded an
Associate Certification pending final graduation.
4. Provide evidence of education and training. Official school transcripts are required. Photocopies
of applicable training certificates may be submitted.
5. References: Using the iNARTE reference forms (Pages 10-11), submit a minimum of 1 academic,
(faculty member), reference or 1 supervisory reference supporting character and competency as
an EMC Design Engineer. Reference forms must be signed and forwarded directly to iNARTE.
6. Pass the EMC Design Engineer examination.
7. The examination is significantly different from the established iNARTE EMC Certification Exam in
the following respects: The exam questions are all related to EMC Design for Compliance and
other EMC fundamentals. There are few if any questions related to Field Theory, EMC Emission or
Susceptibility standards and disciplines better suited to Test, Measurement and Mitigating
