(Main)Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 6-8: Generic standards - Emission standard for professional equipment in commercial and light-industrial locations
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 6-8: Generic standards - Emission standard for professional equipment in commercial and light-industrial locations
IEC 61000-6-8: 2020 is a generic EMC emission standard and is applicable only if no relevant dedicated product or product family EMC emission standard has been published. This part of IEC 61000 for emission requirements applies to electrical and electronic equipment intended for use in commercial and light-industrial (see 3.1.3) locations. This document applies to equipment that satisfy the following restrictions of use:
is defined as professional equipment (see 3.1.13),
is professionally installed and maintained (see 3.1.14 and Clause 6),
is not intended to be used in residential locations (see 3.1.16). IEC 61000-6-3 applies to electrical and electronic equipment intended for use at commercial and light-industrial locations that do not satisfy these restrictions. The intention is that all equipment used in the residential, commercial and light-industrial environments are covered by IEC 61000-6-3 or IEC 61000-6-8. If there is any doubt, the requirements in IEC 61000-6-3 apply. Emission requirements within the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz are covered. The conducted and radiated emission requirements in the frequency range up to 400 GHz are considered essential and have been selected to provide an adequate level of protection of radio reception in the defined electromagnetic environment. Not all disturbance phenomena have been included for testing purposes but only those considered relevant for the equipment intended to operate within the locations included within this document. The emission requirements in this document are not intended to be applicable to the intentional transmissions and their harmonics from a radio transmitter as defined by the ITU. NOTE 1 Safety considerations are not covered by this document. NOTE 2 In special cases, situations will arise where the levels specified in this document will not offer adequate protection; for example where a sensitive receiver is used in close proximity to an equipment. In these instances, employ special mitigation measures to reduce any impact. NOTE 3 Disturbances generated in fault conditions of equipment are not covered by this document. NOTE 4 Equipment which complies with IEC 61000-6-3 are suitable for use within these defined locations.
Elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit (EMV) - Teil 6-8: Fachgrundnormen - Störaussendung für professionell genutzte Geräte, die in Geschäfts- und Gewerbebereichen sowie in Kleinbetrieben verwendet werden
Compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM) - Partie 6-8: Normes génériques - Norme d’émission pour les matériels professionnels utilisés dans des environnements commerciaux et de l’industrie légère
IEC 61000-6-8: 2020 est une norme d'émissions CEM générique et n'est applicable que si aucune norme d'émissions CEM de produit ou de famille de produits dédiée n'a été publiée. La présente partie de l’IEC 61000 concernant les exigences d’émission s'applique aux matériels électriques et électroniques destinés à être utilisés dans des environnements commerciaux et de l'industrie légère (voir 3.1.3). Le présent document s’applique aux matériels qui satisfont aux restrictions d’utilisation suivantes:
qui sont définis comme matériels professionnels (voir 3.1.13),
qui sont installés et maintenus par des professionnels (voir 3.1.14 et Article 6),
qui ne sont pas destinés à être utilisés dans des environnements résidentiels (voir 3.1.16). L‘IEC 61000-6-3 s’applique aux matériels électriques et électroniques destinés à être utilisés dans des environnements commerciaux et de l'industrie légère qui ne satisfont pas à ces restrictions. L’objectif est que tous les matériels utilisés dans les environnements résidentiels, commerciaux et de l’industrie légère soient couverts par l’IEC 61000-6-3 ou l’IEC 61000-6-8. En cas de doute, les exigences spécifiées dans l’IEC 61000-6-3 s'appliquent. Les exigences d’émission dans la plage de fréquences de 0 Hz à 400 GHz sont couvertes. Les exigences d’émissions conduites et rayonnées dans la plage de fréquences jusqu'à 400 GHz sont considérées comme essentielles et ont été choisies de manière à assurer un niveau adéquat de protection de la réception radioélectrique dans l’environnement électromagnétique défini. Tous les phénomènes perturbateurs n'ont pas été inclus pour les besoins de l'essai. Seuls l'ont été ceux considérés comme pertinents pour les matériels destinés à fonctionner dans les environnements couverts par le présent document. Les exigences d’émission spécifiées dans le présent document ne sont pas destinées à s’appliquer aux transmissions intentionnelles et à leurs harmoniques provenant d’un émetteur tel que défini par l'UIT. NOTE 1 Ce document ne traite pas des aspects de sécurité. NOTE 2 Dans des cas particuliers, des situations apparaissent dans lesquelles les niveaux spécifiés dans le présent document n’offrent pas la protection adéquate, lorsqu’un récepteur sensible est utilisé très proche d’un matériel par exemple. Dans de tels cas, utiliser des mesures d’atténuation particulières afin de réduire tout effet éventuel. NOTE 3 Les perturbations générées dans les conditions de défaut du matériel ne sont pas couvertes par le présent document. NOTE 4 Les matériels conformes à l’IEC 61000-6-3 conviennent à une utilisation dans ces environnements définis.
