CISPR 24:2010

Information technology equipment - Immunity characteristics - Limits and methods of measurement

CISPR 24:2010 applies to information technology equipment (ITE) as defined in CISPR 22. The object of this publication is to establish requirements that will provide an adequate level of intrinsic immunity so that the equipment will operate as intended in its environment. The publication defines the immunity test requirements for equipment within its scope in relation to continuous and transient conducted and radiated disturbances, including electrostatic discharges (ESD). Procedures are defined for the measurement of ITE and limits are specified which are developed for ITE within the frequency range from 0 Hz to 400 GHz. For exceptional environmental conditions, special mitigation measures may be required. Owing to testing and performance assessment considerations, some tests are specified in defined frequency bands or at selected frequencies. Equipment which fulfils the requirements at these frequencies is deemed to fulfil the requirements in the entire frequency range from 0 Hz to 400 GHz for electromagnetic phenomena. The test requirements are specified for each port considered. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1997, and its Amendments 1(2001) and 2(2002). It is a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- dated references updated;
- option of using a 4 % step size for continuous conducted immunity test deleted;
- revision of Annex A for telephony equipment including methodology for measuring the demodulation from a speaker/hands free device;
- inclusion of new annex related to DSL equipment. The contents of the corrigendum of June 2011 have been included in this copy.

Appareils de traitement de l'information - Caractéristiques d'immunité - Limites et méthodes de mesure

La CISPR 24:2010 s'applique aux appareils de traitement de l'information (ATI) tels que définis dans la CISPR 22. L'objet de cette publication est de définir des exigences qui apportent un niveau approprié d'immunité intrinsèque de façon que l'appareil puisse fonctionner normalement dans son environnement. La publication définit les exigences d'essai d'immunité pour les appareils définis dans le domaine d'application, en matière de perturbations continues et transitoires, conduites et rayonnées, ce qui inclut les décharges électrostatiques (DES). Des procédures sont définies pour la mesure des ATI et des limites leur sont spécifiées dans la gamme des fréquences comprises entre 0 Hz et 400 GHz. Dans des conditions environnementales exceptionnelles, des mesures particulières de protection peuvent être nécessaires. Suite à l'évaluation des essais et des critères d'aptitude, certains essais ne sont définis que dans certaines bandes de fréquences ou à des fréquences particulières. Tout appareil qui satisfait à ces exigences pour ces fréquences est considéré comme satisfaisant aux exigences pour les phénomènes électromagnétiques dans toute la gamme des fréquences comprises entre 0 Hz et 400 GHz. Les exigences d'essai sont spécifiées pour chaque accès considéré. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 1997, son Amendement 1 (2001) et 2 (2002). Elle constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- références datées mises à jour;
- option d'utilisation d'un pas de 4 % pour l'essai d'immunité conduite continu supprimée;
- révision de l'Annexe A pour les appareils de téléphonie, y compris la méthodologie de mesure de la démodulation d'un haut-parleur / dispositif mains libres;
- inclusion d'une nouvelle annexe relative aux appareils DSL. Le contenu du corrigendum de juin 2011 a été pris en considération dans cet exemplaire.

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
misinte
