Grenzwerte und Messverfahren für Funkstörungen von elektrischen Beleuchtungseinrichtungen und ähnlichen Elektrogeräten
Limites et méthodes de mesure des perturbations radioélectriques produites par les appareils électriques d'éclairage et les appareils analogues
Mejne vrednosti in metode merjenja karakteristik občutljivosti za radijske motnje električne razsvetljave in podobne opreme
Ta standard se navezuje na oddajanje (sevanje in prevajanje) radiofrekvenčnih motenj zaradi: – svetlobne opreme (3.3.16); – svetlobnega dela večfunkcijske opreme, pri kateri je ta razsvetljava primarna funkcija; – opreme za UV- in IR-sevanje za stanovanjske in neindustrijske namene; – oglasnih znakov; – dekorativne razsvetljave; – opozorilnih znakov. Ta dokument ne zajema: – sestavnih delov ali modulov, ki so namenjeni vgradnji v svetlobno opremo in jih uporabnik ne more sam zamenjati; – svetlobne opreme, ki deluje v frekvenčnih pasovih ISM (kot je opredeljeno v resoluciji 63 (1979) uredbe o radiokomunikacijah ITU); – svetlobne opreme za zrakoplove in letališke objekte (vzletno-pristajalne steze, storitvene objekte, ploščadi); – video znakov; – inštalacij; – opreme, za katero so zahteve glede elektromagnetne združljivosti v radiofrekvenčnem območju izrecno opredeljene v drugih standardih CISPR, tudi če imajo vgrajeno funkcijo osvetlitve. Zajet frekvenčni razpon je od 9 kHz do 400 GHz. Za frekvence, za katere ni določenih omejitev v tem dokumentu, ni treba opraviti meritev. Večfunkcijska oprema, ki je hkrati predmet različnih točk tega dokumenta in/ali drugih standardov, mora izpolnjevati določbe vsake točke/standarda z ustreznimi funkcijami v delovanju. Za opremo, ki ni predmet tega dokumenta in vključuje razsvetljavo kot sekundarno funkcijo, ni treba posebej ocenjevati svetlobne funkcije na podlagi tega dokumenta pod pogojem, da je funkcija osvetlitve med ocenjevanjem delovala v skladu z veljavnim standardom.

LIMITS AND METHODS OF MEASUREMENT OF
RADIO DISTURBANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF
ELECTRICAL LIGHTING AND SIMILAR EQUIPMENT
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

International Standard CISPR 15 has been prepared by subcommittee CIS/F: Interference
relating to household appliances tools, lighting equipment and similar apparatus, of IEC
technical committee CISPR: International special committee on radio interference.
This ninth edition cancels and replaces the eighth edition published in 2013 and its
Amendment 1:2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) full editorial revision and restructuring;
b) the restriction to mains and battery operation is deleted in the scope;
c) radiated disturbance limits in the frequency range 300 MHz to 1 GHz have been
introduced;
– 8 – CISPR 15:2018 © IEC 2018
d) the load terminals limits and the CDNE (alternative to radiated emissions) limits have
changed;
e) deletion of the insertion-loss requirements and the associated Annex A;
f) introduction of three basic ports: wired network ports, local wired ports and the enclosure
port;
g) introduction of a more technology-independent approach;
h) replacement of Annex B (CDNE) by appropriate references to CISPR 16-series of
standards;
i) modified requirements for the metal holes of the conical housing;
j) new conducted disturbance measurement method for GU10 self-ballasted lamp;
k) addition of current probe measurement method and limits for various types of ports (in
addition to voltage limits and measurement methods);
l) introduction of the term ‘module’ (instead of independent auxiliary) and requirements for
measurement of modules using a host (reference) system;
m) modified specifications for stabilization times of EUTs;
n) for large EUT (> 1,6 m), addition of the magnetic field measurement method using a 60 cm
loop antenna at 3 m distance (method from CISPR 14-1) as an alternative to the 3 m and
4 m LAS.

LIMITS AND METHODS OF MEASUREMENT OF
RADIO DISTURBANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF
ELECTRICAL LIGHTING AND SIMILAR EQUIPMENT
1 Scope
This document applies to the emission (radiated and conducted) of radiofrequency
disturbances from:
– lighting equipment (3.3.16);
– the lighting part of multi-function equipment where this lighting part is a primary function;
NOTE 1 Examples are lighting equipment with visible-light communication, entertainment lighting.
– UV and IR radiation equipment for residential and non-industrial applications;
– advertising signs;
NOTE 2 Examples are neon tube advertising signs.
– decorative lighting;
– emergency signs.
Excluded from the scope of this document are:
– components or modules intended to be built into lighting equipment and which are not
user-replaceable;
NOTE 3 See CISPR 30 (all parts) for built-in controlgear.
– lighting equipment operating in the ISM frequency bands (as defined in Resolution 63
(1979) of the ITU Radio Regulation);
– lighting equipment for aircraft and airfield facilities (runways, service facilities, platforms);
– video signs;
– installations;
– equipment for which the electromagnetic compatibility requirements in the radio-frequency
range are explicitly formulated in other CISPR standards, even if they incorporate a built-
in lighting function.
NOTE 4 Examples of exclusions are:
– equipment with built-in lighting devices for display back lighting, scale illumination and signaling;
– SSL-displays;
– range hoods, refrigerators, freezers;
– photocopiers, projectors;
– lighting equipment for road vehicles (in scope of CISPR 12).
The frequency range covered is 9 kHz to 400 GHz. No measurements need to be performed
at frequencies where no limits are specified in this document.
Multi-function equipment which is subjected simultaneously to different clauses of this
document and/or other standards need to meet the provisions of each clause/standard with
the relevant functions in operation.
For equipment outside the scope of this document and which includes lighting as a secondary
function, there is no need to separately assess the lighting function against this docum
