What EMC Pre-Compliance does

EMC Pre-Compliance analyzes KiCad PCB designs for EMC and EMI risk before fabrication. It flags likely emissions and immunity issues, ranks severity, and generates a pre-compliance test plan.

EMC Pre-Compliance is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. EMC Pre-Compliance comes from a repository tagged ai-skills, bom-management, claude-code, codex and design-review.

Excerpt

EMC Pre-Compliance Skill

Automated EMC risk analysis for KiCad PCB designs. Identifies the most common causes of EMC test failures using geometric rule checks, analytical emission formulas, and optional SPICE simulation.

This is a risk analyzer, not a compliance predictor. It catches ~70% of common EMC design mistakes before fabrication. It cannot guarantee FCC/CISPR compliance — only a calibrated measurement in an accredited lab can do that. But it can reduce the first-spin failure rate from ~50% toward ~20-30%, potentially saving $5K-$50K per avoided board respin.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
