Part 6-2: Generic standards –
Immunity standard for industrial environments

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
has been made. Additions are in green text, deletions are in strikethrough red text.

test according to IEC 61000-4-3;
d) change of the repetition frequency for the fast transients immunity test according to
IEC 61000-4-4;
e) introduction of requirements according to IEC 61000-4-34;
f) revision of the test levels;
g) consideration of measurement uncertainty;
h) addition of Annex A.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
77/521/FDIS 77/523/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 61000 series, published under the general title Electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC), can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

General considerations (introduction, fundamental principles)
Definitions, terminology
Part 2: Environment
Description of the environment
Classification of the environment
Compatibility levels
Part 3: Limits
Emission limits
Immunity limits (insofar as these limits do not fall under the responsibility of the product
committees)
Part 4: Testing and measurement techniques

Part 6-2: Generic standards –
Immunity standard for industrial environments

1 Scope and object
This part of IEC 61000 for EMC immunity requirements applies to electrical and electronic
apparatus equipment intended for use in industrial environments locations, as described
below. Immunity requirements in the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz are covered. No tests
need to be performed at frequencies where no requirements are specified.
This generic EMC immunity standard is applicable if no relevant dedicated product or product-
family EMC immunity standard exists.
This standard applies to apparatus intended to be connected to a power network supplied
from a high or medium voltage transformer dedicated to the supply of an installation feeding
manufacturing or similar plant, and electrical and electronic equipment intended to be
operated in or in proximity to industrial locations, as described below defined in 3.7, both
indoor and outdoor.
This standard applies also to apparatus equipment intended to be directly connected to a DC
distribution network or which is battery operated, and intended to be used in industrial
locations.
The environments encompassed by this standard are industrial, both indoor and outdoor.
Industrial locations are in addition characterised by the existence of one or more of the
following:
– industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) apparatus (as defined in CISPR 11);
– heavy inductive or capacitive loads are frequently switched;
– currents and associated magnetic fields are high.
The object of This standard is to defin
