Electromagnetic compatibility - Requirements for household appliances, electric tools and similar apparatus - Part 2: Immunity - Product family standard
CISPR 14-2:2015 deals with the electromagnetic immunity of appliances and similar apparatus for household and similar purposes that use electricity, as well as electric toys and electric tools, the rated voltage of the apparatus being not more than 250 V for single-phase apparatus to be connected to phase and neutral, and 480 V for other apparatus. Apparatus may incorporate motors, heating elements or their combination, may contain electric or electronic circuitry, and may be powered by the mains, by transformer, by batteries, or by any other electrical power source. Apparatus not intended for household use, but which nevertheless may require the immunity level, such as apparatus intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard, as far as they are included in CISPR 14-1. In addition, the following are also included in the scope of this standard:
- microwave ovens for domestic use and catering;
- cooking hobs and cooking ovens, heated by means of r.f. energy;
- (single- and multiple-zone) induction cooking appliances;
- appliances for personal care equipped with radiators in the range from UV to IR, inclusive (this includes visible light);
- power supplies and battery chargers provided with or intended for apparatus within the scope of this standard.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1997, Amendment 1:2001 and Amendment 2:2008. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- 5.1: For ESD tests on contacts of plugs and sockets the note ("The 4 kV contact discharge shall be applied to conductive accessible parts. Metallic contacts, such as in battery compartments or in socket outlets, are excluded from this requirement.") saying that no test on contacts is necessary has been removed. The IEC 61000-4-2 includes a detailed description how to deal with ESD on contacts and other surfaces. Also discharge on HCP and VCP is required by the basic standard IEC 61000-4-2.
- 5.3 and 5.4: The tables for tests at D.C. power ports according IEC 61000-4-6 are aligned with the generic standards and are the same for 5.3 and 5.4.
- 5.3 and 5.4: For EUT with single mains cable and not other cable, the test set-up as shown in Figure 2 shall be used. The set-up as described in Annex F of IEC 61000-4-6:2013 shall not be used.
- 5.5: The IEC 61000-4-22 has been introduced as alternative method for testing radiated immunity.
- 5.6: No line-to-earth surges are applied to products which do not have provision for connection to earth.
Compatibilité électromagnétique - Exigences relatives aux appareils électrodomestiques, outillages électriques et appareils analogues - Partie 2: Immunité - Norme de famille de produits
La CISPR 14-2:2015 traite de l'immunité aux perturbations électromagnétiques des appareils électrodomestiques et analogues qui utilisent de l'électricité, ainsi que des jouets électriques et des outils électriques dont la tension assignée ne dépasse pas 250 V pour les appareils monophasés raccordés entre phase et neutre, et 480 V pour les autres appareils. Ces appareils peuvent comporter des moteurs et/ou des éléments chauffants. Ils peuvent comporter des circuits électriques ou électroniques et être alimentés par le réseau, par transformateur, par des piles ou batteries ou par toute autre source électrique. Les appareils qui ne sont pas destinés à un usage domestique, mais peuvent néanmoins exiger un certain niveau d'immunité, tels que ceux destinés à être utilisés par des usagers non avertis dans les magasins, l'industrie légère et les fermes, entrent dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme dans la mesure où ils sont couverts par la CISPR 14-1. Entrent également dans le domaine d'application de la présente Norme:
- les fours à micro-ondes à usage domestique ou à usage des collectivités;
- les foyers de cuisson et fours chauffés par des fréquences radioélectriques;
- les appareils de cuisson à induction (comportant un ou plusieurs foyers);
- les appareils à usage individuel avec dispositif à rayonnement dont la gamme s'étend des ultraviolets aux infrarouges (cela comprend la lumière visible);
- les alimentations et chargeurs de batterie dotés d'un appareil ou prévus pour un appareil appartenant au domaine d'application de la présente Norme. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 1997, Amendement 1 (2001) et Amendement 2 (2008). Elle constitue une révision technique. La présente édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- 5.1: Pour les essais électrostatiques réalisés sur les contacts des prises, la note ("La décharge au contact, de 4 kV, doit être appliquée aux parties conductrices accessibles. Les contacts métalliques, par exemple dans les compartiments de piles ou batteries ou dans les socles de prises de courant ne sont pas concernés par cette exigence.") indiquant qu'aucun essai n'est nécessaire a été retirée. L'IEC 61000-4-2 contient une description détaillée de la manière de traiter les décharges électrostatiques sur les contacts et les autres surfaces. De même, les décharges sur le PCH et le PVC sont exigées par la norme de base IEC 61000-4-2.
- 5.3 et 5.4: Les tableaux relatifs aux essais réalisés au niveau des accès d'alimentation continue selon l'IEC 61000-4-6 sont alignés sur les normes génériques et sont identiques pour 5.3 et 5.4.
- 5.3 et 5.4: Pour l'EUT ne contenant qu'un câble de réseau, le montage d'essai présenté à la Figure 2 doit être utilisé. Le montage décrit à l'Annexe F de l'IEC 61000-4-6:2013 ne doit pas être utilisé.
- 5.5: L'IEC 61000-4-22 a été introduite comme une autre méthode d'essai d'immunité aux rayonnements.
- 5.6: Aucune onde de choc entre ligne et terre n'est appliquée aux produits qui n'ont pas de disposition pour le raccordement à la terre.

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.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This redline version of the official IEC Standard allows the user to identify the changes
made to the previous edition. A vertical bar appears in the margin wherever a change

Part 2: Immunity – Product family standard
1 Scope and object
1.1 This part of CISPR 14 deals with the electromagnetic immunity of appliances and
similar apparatus for household and similar purposes that use electricity, as well as electric
toys and electric tools, the rated voltage of the apparatus being not more than 250 V for
single-phase apparatus to be connected to phase and neutral, and 480 V for other apparatus.
Apparatus may incorporate motors, heating elements or their combination, may contain
electric or electronic circuitry, and may be powered by the mains, by transformer, by batteries,
or by any other electrical power source.
Apparatus not intended for household use, but which nevertheless may require the immunity
level, such as apparatus intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on
farms, are within the scope of this standard, as far as they are included in CISPR 14-1. In
addition, the following are also included in the scope of this standard:
– microwave ovens for domestic use and catering;
– cooking hobs and cooking ovens, heated by means of r.f. energy;
– (single- and multiple-zone) induction cooking appliances;
– UV and IR radiators appliances for personal care equipped with radiators in the range
from UV to IR, inclusive (this includes visible light);

Part 2: Immunity – Product family standard
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.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard CISPR 14-2 has been prepared by CISPR subcommittee F:
Interference relating to household appliances tools, lighting equipment and similar apparatus.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1997, Amendment
1:2001 and Amendment 2:2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) 5.1: For ESD tests on contacts of plugs and sockets the note (“The 4 kV contact discharge
shall be applied to conductive accessible parts. Metallic contacts, such as in battery
compartments or in socket outlets, are excluded from this requirement.”) saying that no
test on contacts is necessary has been removed. The IEC 61000-4-2 includes a detailed
description how to deal with ESD on contacts and other surfaces. Also discharge on HCP
and VCP is required by the basic standard IEC 61000-4-2.
b) 5.3 and 5.4: The tables for tests at d.c. power ports according IEC 61000-4-6 are aligned
with the generic standards and are the same for 5.3 and 5.4.
c) 5.3 and 5.4: For EUT with single mains cable and no other cable, the test set-up as shown
in Figure 2 shall be used. The set-up as described in Annex F of IEC 61000-4-6:2013 shall
not be used.
d) 5.5: The IEC 61000-4-22 has been introduced as alternative method for testing radiated
immunity.
e) 5.6: No line-to-earth surges are applied to products which do not have provision for
connection to earth.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
The intention of this standard is to establish uniform requirements for the electromagnetic
immunity of the equipment mentioned in the scope, to fix test specifications of immunity, to
refer to basic standards for methods of testing, and to standardize operating conditions,
performance criteria and interpretation of results.
Keywords: Immunity, household appliances, electric apparatus, electromagnetic compatibility.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY –
REQUIREMENTS FOR HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES,
ELECTRIC TOOLS AND SIMILAR APPARATUS –
Part 2: Immunity – Product family standard
1 Scope
1.1 This part of CISPR 14 deals with the electromagnetic immunity of appliances and
similar apparatus for household and similar purposes that use electricity, as well as electric
toys and electric tools, the rated voltage of the apparatus being not more than 250 V for
single-phase apparatus to be connected to phase and neutral, and 480 V for other apparatus.
Apparatus may incorporate motors, heating elements or their combination, may contain
electric or electronic circuitry, and may be powered by the mains, by transformer, by batteries,
or by any other electrical power source.
Apparatus not intended for household use, but which nevertheless may require the immunity
level, such as apparatus intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on
farms, are within the scope of this standard, as far as they are included in CISPR 14-1. In
addition, the following are also included in the scope of this standard:
– microwave ovens for domestic use and catering;
– cooking hobs and cooking ovens, heated by means of r.f. energy;
– (single- and multiple-zone) induction cooking appliances;
– appliances for personal care equipped with radiators in the range from UV to IR, inclusive
(this includes visible light);
– power supplies and battery chargers provided with or intended for apparatus within the
scope of this standard.
1.2 This standard does not apply to:
– equipment for lighting purposes;
– apparatus designed exclusively for heavy industrial purposes;
– apparatus intended to be part of the fixed electrical installation of buildings (such as fuses,
circuit breakers, cables and switches);
– apparatus intended to be used in locations where special electromagnetic conditions
prevail, such as the presence of high electromagnetic fields (for example in the vicinity of
a broadcast transmitting station), or where high pulses occur on the power network (such
as in a power generator station);
– radio and television receivers, audio and video equipment, and electronic music
instruments other than toys;
– medical electrical appliances;
– personal computers and similar equipment other than toys;
– radio transmitters;
– apparatus designed to be used exclusively in vehicles;
– babies surveillance systems.
– 8 – CISPR 14-2:2015 © IEC 2015
1.3 Immunity requirements in the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz are covered.
1.4 The effects of electromagnetic phenomena relating to the safety of apparatus are
excluded from this standard and are covered by other standards, for example in the
IEC 60335 series.
Abnormal operation of the apparatus (such as simulated faults in the electric circuitry for
testing purposes) is not taken into consideration.
NOTE 1 Attention is drawn to the fact that additional requirements can be necessary for apparatus intended to be
used on board ships or aircraft.
1.5 The object of this standard is to specify the immunity requirements for apparatus
defined in the scope in relation to continuous and transient, conducted and radiated
electromagnetic disturbances, including electrostatic discharges.
These requirements represent essential electromagnetic compatibility immunity requirements.
NOTE 2 In special cases, situations will arise where the level of disturbances may exceed the test values
specified in this standard. In these instances special mitigation measures may have to be employed.
