Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods - Part 4-2: Uncertainties, statistics and limit modelling - Measurement instrumentation uncertainty

CISPR 16-4-2:2011 is a basic EMC publication. It specifies the method of applying Measurement Instrumentation Uncertainty (MIU) when determining compliance with CISPR disturbance limits. The material is also relevant to any EMC test when interpretation of the results and conclusions reached will be impacted by the uncertainty of the measurement instrumentation used during testing. This second edition includes significant technical additions about methods of conducted disturbance measurements on mains and communication ports and about methods of radiated disturbance measurements using a FAR in the ranges of 30 MHz to 1 000 MHz and of 1 GHz to 18 GHz. The annexes contain the background material used in providing the amount of MIU found in generating the CISPR values shown in the main document and hence provide valuable background material for those needing both initial and further information on MIU and how to take individual uncertainties in the measurement chain into account. The annexes, however, are not intended to be a tutorial or user manual or to be copied when making uncertainty calculations. For that purpose, the references shown in the bibliography, or other widely recognized documents, may be used. Measurement instrumentation specifications are given in the CISPR 16-1 series, while the methods of measurement are covered in the CISPR 16-2 series. Further information and background on CISPR and radio disturbances is given in CISPR 16-3. The other parts of the CISPR 16-4 series contain further information on uncertainties in general, statistics and limit modelling.

Spécifications des méthodes et des appareils de mesure des perturbations radioélectriques et de l'immunité aux perturbations radioélectriques - Partie 4-2: Incertitudes, statistiques et modélisation des limites - Incertitudes de mesure de l'instrumentation

La CISPR 16-4-2:2011 est une publication fondamentale en CEM. Elle spécifie la méthode d'application de l'incertitude de mesure de l'instrumentation (MIU) à la détermination de la conformité aux limites de perturbation du CISPR. Cela s'applique également à tous les essais CEM lorsque l'interprétation des résultats et les conclusions peuvent être influencées par l'incertitude de l'instrumentation de mesure utilisée pendant les essais. Cette deuxième édition constitue une révision technique. Elle inclut les modifications techniques majeures concernant les méthodes de mesure des perturbations conduites via les accès secteur et les accès télécommunication, ainsi que concernant les méthodes de mesure des perturbations rayonnées au moyen d'une FAR, dans la gamme de fréquences de 30 MHz à 1 000 MHz et de 1 GHz à 18 GHz. Les annexes contiennent les éléments de référence utilisés pour fournir la quantité de MIU trouvée dans l'élaboration des valeurs CISPR indiquées dans le document principal, et en conséquence, fournissent également des informations importantes pour ceux qui ont besoin à la fois d'informations initiales et complémentaires sur les MIU et sur la façon de prendre en compte les incertitudes individuelles dans la chaîne de mesure. Toutefois, les annexes ne sont pas destinées à être un modèle didactique ou un manuel d'utilisateur ou encore à être reproduites pour effectuer des calculs d'incertitude. A cet effet, il est possible d'utiliser les références fournies dans la bibliographie ou dans d'autres documents de fiabilité reconnue. Les spécifications des instruments de mesure sont données dans la série CISPR 16-1 et les méthodes de mesure sont couvertes par la série CISPR 16-2. Des informations complémentaires et références contextuelles sur les perturbations CISPR et radioélectriques sont données dans la CISPR 16-3. Les autres parties de la série CISPR 16-4 contiennent des informations complémentaires sur l'incertitude en général, les statistiques et la modélisation des limites.

Ta del CISPR 16-4 določa metodo za uporabo negotovosti merilnih instrumentov (MIU) pri določanju skladnosti z mejami motenj po CISPR. Gradivo je pomembno tudi za vse preskuse EMC, pri katerih na razlago rezultatov in zaključke vpliva negotovost merilnih instrumentov, uporabljenih med preskušanjem.
OPOMBA: V skladu z Vodilom IEC 107 je CISPR 16-4-2 osnovni standard EMC, ki ga uporabljajo odbori za proizvode IEC. Kot je navedeno v Vodilu 107, so odbori za proizvode odgovorni za določevanje uporabe tega standarda EMC. CISPR in njegovi pododbori so pripravljeni sodelovati s tehničnimi odbori in odbori za proizvode pri ocenjevanju uporabnosti tega standarda za določene proizvode. Dodatki vsebujejo temeljno gradivo, ki se uporablja pri podajanju velikosti MIU, ugotovljene pri nastajanju vrednosti CISPR, prikazanih v točkah od 4 do 8, in so zato koristno temeljno gradivo za tiste, ki potrebujejo začetne in nadaljnje informacije o MIU in informacije o tem, kako v verigi meritev upoštevati posamezne negotovosti. Dodatki niso mišljeni kot priročniki za vajo ali uporabo ali za kopiranje pri izračunavanju negotovosti. V ta namen se lahko uporabljajo reference, navedene v bibliografiji, ali drugi splošno priznani dokumenti.
Specifikacije merilnih instrumentov so podane v seriji CISPR 16-1, merilne metode pa zajema serija CISPR 16-2. Nadaljnje informacije in ozadje o CISPR in radijskih motnjah so navedeni v CISPR 16-3.

Overview

EN 55016-4-2:2011 (CISPR 16-4-2:2011) is a foundational EMC publication that specifies how to apply Measurement Instrumentation Uncertainty (MIU) when assessing compliance with CISPR disturbance limits. This second edition (2011) updates and expands methods for both conducted and radiated disturbance measurements, and provides the uncertainty framework needed to interpret EMC test results reliably.

Key Topics and Technical Requirements

  • Measurement Instrumentation Uncertainty (MIU): Defines the criterion and approach for including instrumentation uncertainty in compliance decisions. Emphasises transparent uncertainty accounting rather than prescriptive pass/fail adjustments.
  • Conducted disturbance methods: Expanded procedures and uncertainty considerations for measurements on mains and telecommunication ports using:
    • AMN (artificial mains network)
    • VP (voltage probe)
    • AAN / ISN (artificial antenna network / individual subscriber network)
    • CVP (capacitive voltage probe)
    • CP (current probe)
  • Radiated disturbance methods: Uncertainty treatment for measurements in:
    • Open-area test sites (OATS) and semi-anechoic chambers (SAC)
    • Fully anechoic rooms (FAR / FSOATS) for 30 MHz–1 000 MHz and 1 GHz–18 GHz frequency ranges
  • Uncertainty budgets and rationale: Annexes contain background material, example uncertainty budgets, and tabulated Ucispr values used in the main document. Annexes are informative background - not a step‑by‑step tutorial.
  • Compliance assessment and statistics: Guidance on how to include MIU in conformity assessment; links to broader statistical and limit‑modelling topics covered in the CISPR 16-4 series.

Practical Applications and Who Should Use It

This standard is essential for:

  • EMC test laboratories - to document and apply MIU when reporting compliance with CISPR limits.
  • Certification and conformity assessment bodies - to interpret test results and audit measurement uncertainty practices.
  • Product manufacturers and design engineers - to understand how measurement uncertainty may affect compliance conclusions and to design for robust EMC performance.
  • Metrologists and standards developers - to build uncertainty budgets and validate measurement chains for radiated and conducted disturbance tests.

Practical benefits include improved confidence in pass/fail decisions, consistent reporting of uncertainty across test sites, and better-informed limit modelling for mass-produced products.

FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.

– 6 – CISPR 16-4-2  IEC:2011 INTRODUCTION The CISPR 16-4 series, Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods – Uncertainties, statistics and limit modelling, contains information related to uncertainties, statistics and limit modelling, and consists of the following five parts: • Part 4-1: Uncertainties in standardized EMC tests, • Part 4-2: Measurement instrumentation uncertainty, • Part 4-3: Statistical considerations in the determination of EMC compliance of mass-produced products, • Part 4-4: Statistics of complaints and a model for the calculation of limits for the protection of radio services, and • Part 4-5: Conditions for the use of alternative test methods. For practical reasons, standardized electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests are simplified representations of possible electromagnetic interference (EMI) scenarios that a product may encounter in practice. Consequently, in an EMC standard, the measurand, the limit, measurement instruments, measurement set-up, measurement procedure and measurement conditions are simplified but are still meaningful (representative). Here meaningful means that there is a statistical correlation between compliance of the product with a limit, based on a standardized EMC test using standardized test equipment, and a high probability of actual EMC of the same product during its life cycle. Part 4-4 provides methods based on statistics to derive meaningful disturbance limits to protect radio services. In general, a standardized EMC test should be developed such that reproducible results are obtained if different parties perform the same test with the same EUT. However, various uncertainty sources limit the reproducibility of a standardized EMC.
Part 4-1 is a technical report that consists of a collection of informative reports that address all relevant uncertainty sources that may be encountered during EMC compliance tests. Typical examples of uncertainty sources are the EUT itself, the measurement instrumentation, the set-up of the EUT, the test procedures and the environmental conditions. Part 4-2 describes a specific category of uncertainties, i.e. measurement instrumentation uncertainties. In this part, examples of MIU budgets are given for most of the CISPR measurement methods. Also in this part, normative requirements are given on how to apply the MIU when determining compliance of an EUT with a disturbance limit (i.e. conformity assessment decision). Part 4-3 is a technical report that describes the statistical treatment of test results when compliance tests are performed on samples of mass-produced products. This treatment is known as the 80 %/80 % rule. Part 4-4 is a technical report that contains CISPR recommendations for the collation of statistical data on interference complaints and for the classification of interference sources. Also, models for the calculation of limits for various modes of interference coupling are given. Part 4-5 is a technical report describing a method to enable product committees to develop limits for alternative test methods, using conversions from established limits. SIST EN 55016-4-2:2011

Measurement instrumentation uncertainty
1 Scope This part of CISPR 16-4 specifies the method of applying Measurement Instrumentation Uncertainty (MIU) when determining compliance with CISPR disturbance limits. The material is also relevant to any EMC test when interpretation of the results and conclusions reached will be impacted by the uncertainty of the measurement instrumentation used during testing.
NOTE In accordance with IEC Guide 107, CISPR 16-4-2 is a basic EMC standard for use by product committees of the IEC. As stated in Guide 107, product committees are responsible for determining the applicability of the EMC standard. CISPR and its sub-committees are prepared to co-operate with technical committees and product committees in the evaluation of the applicability of this standard for specific products. The annexes contain the background material used in providing the amount of MIU found in generating the CISPR values shown in Clauses 4 through 8 and hence provide valuable background material for those needing both initial and further information on MIU and how to take individual uncertainties in the measurement chain into account. The annexes, however, are not intended to be a tutorial or user manual or to be copied when making uncertainty calculations. For that purpose, the references shown in the bibliography, or other widely recognized documents, may be used. Measurement instrumentation specifications are given in the CISPR 16-1 series, while the methods of measurement are covered in the CISPR 16-2 series. Further information and background on CISPR and radio disturbances is given in CISPR 16-3. The other parts of the CISPR 16-4 series contain further information on uncertainties in general, statistics and limit modelling. See the introduction of this part for more information on the background and on the content of the CISPR 16-4 series. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

La norme SIST EN 55016-4-2:2011 constitue une référence essentielle dans le domaine de la conformité aux limites de perturbation radioélectrique et d'immunité, spécifiquement en ce qui concerne l'incertitude de l'instrumentation de mesure. En tant que publication de base en compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM), elle établit une méthodologie claire pour l’application de l'incertitude de mesure d'instrumentation (MIU) lors de l'évaluation de la conformité aux limites de perturbation définies par le CISPR. Les atouts de cette norme résident dans sa portée technique élargie, notamment l'inclusion d'approches pertinentes pour la mesure des perturbations conduites sur des ports d'alimentation et de communication. De plus, elle traite des méthodes de mesure des perturbations rayonnées à l'aide d'une antenne de référence (FAR) dans les bandes de fréquences allant de 30 MHz à 1 000 MHz et de 1 GHz à 18 GHz. Ces ajouts techniques significatifs améliorent la précision et la fiabilité des résultats des tests de CEM. L'annexe du document joue un rôle clé en fournissant des éléments de fond sur le calcul de l’MIU et sur l'interprétation des résultats, ce qui est d'une grande pertinence pour les professionnels qui travaillent dans le domaine de la mesure et de l'évaluation des perturbations radio. Toutefois, il est important de noter que ces annexes ne se veulent pas un manuel d'utilisation. Les utilisateurs doivent se référer aux documents normalisés appropriés pour les calculs d'incertitude. En résumé, la norme SIST EN 55016-4-2:2011 s'avère être un outil précieux pour garantir que les résultats des tests de conformité CEM prennent adéquatement en compte les incertitudes de mesure, consolidant ainsi son importance dans le cadre des exigences de la norme CISPR et des pratiques de mesure en électromagnétisme. Les spécifications d'instrumentation de mesure, telles que décrites dans la série CISPR 16-1, et les méthodes de mesure établies dans la série CISPR 16-2, renforcent encore plus la pertinence de cette norme dans le panorama actuel des tests et des évaluations en CEM.

The EN 55016-4-2:2011 standard serves as a crucial reference point for entities engaged in the measurement and evaluation of radio disturbance and immunity characteristics of their products. This standard outlines essential guidelines in applying Measurement Instrumentation Uncertainty (MIU) when assessing compliance with CISPR disturbance limits, thus ensuring that manufacturers can accurately interpret test results and draw appropriate conclusions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). One of the primary strengths of the standard is its comprehensive scope, which encompasses significant technical updates regarding conducted and radiated disturbance measurement methods, specifically in frequencies ranging from 30 MHz to 18 GHz. These advancements enable testers to gain a more nuanced understanding of how to appropriately measure disturbances on mains and communication ports, contributing to reliable product evaluations. Moreover, the inclusion of annexes that provide foundational background material surrounding MIU adds notable value for professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge. These annexes offer insights into how MIU is determined and the relevance of individual uncertainties within the measurement chain. However, it is important to note that these annexes are not designed to serve as a tutorial or manual, guiding users to refer to established references for practical uncertainty calculation methods, thereby fostering thorough and precise approaches in EMC testing. Another strength lies in the integration and interrelation with other parts of the CISPR 16 series. By referencing specifications found in the CISPR 16-1 series for measurement instrumentation and methodologies detailed in the CISPR 16-2 series, EN 55016-4-2:2011 situates itself within a broader framework that enhances its applicability and relevance in the field. This interconnectedness promotes consistency across EMC testing practices and aids organizations in ensuring robust compliance with international standards. Overall, EN 55016-4-2:2011 is an indispensable standard that not only addresses measurement instrumentation uncertainty but also enhances the understanding and accuracy of EMC test methodologies, making it relevant for professionals striving to navigate the complex landscape of radio disturbances and immunity assessments.
