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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any

equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.

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.

The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a

technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected

data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for

example "state of the art".

CISPR 16-2-5, which is a technical report, has been prepared by CISPR subcommittee H:

Limits for the protection of radio services.

SPECIFICATION FOR RADIO DISTURBANCE AND IMMUNITY
MEASURING APPARATUS AND METHODS –
Part 2-5: In situ measurements of disturbing emissions
produced by physically large equipment
1 Scope

This part of CISPR 16 deals with in situ electromagnetic disturbance measurements in any

environment from physically large equipment and systems excluding networks.

It covers both radiated and conducted emission phenomena, and does not deal with immunity

tests.

This technical report is intended to be applied primarily to such physically large equipment

which are not under the scope of any existing emission standards (as for example CISPR 11

and CISPR 22). It serves only as a guideline on how to deal with emissions of that equipment

at the particular location of installation. It does not establish any emission requirements.

NOTE 1 Although this technical report is intended to be applied to equipment which is not under the scope of any

existing emission standards, it may be used also in such cases in order to serve as additional information for

carrying out in situ measurements for any type of large equipment.

NOTE 2 Examples of large equipment are: production machines, conveyors, large displays, aircraft simulators,

traffic control equipment, etc.

Due to the severe impact of the conditions existing at a particular location of operation and

the use of the respective large equipment, however, it is not intended to use the

measurements in the frame of type testing.

NOTE 3 In general, type testing on large equipment is only possible at standardized test sites in a controlled

environment. The assessment results obtained under in situ conditions are only valid for the respective individual

large equipment actually measured at its particular place of installation. These results cannot be transposed to

other equipment of the same type, but installed at other locations.

Reference in-situ measurement distances will be given. This allows comparison of the

measurement results with limits from existing relevant standards.
The frequency range under consideration is from 9 kHz to 18 GHz.
Dealing with biological effects on living matter is excluded from this document.

determine the measurement distance between the equipment under test and the antenna

3.3
characterised interference

interference with an origin from an identified electromagnetic phenomenon, and for which the

disturbance level at a given point is characterised by a collection of technical data, for

example the spectrum
3.4
deviation from intended use regarding EMC

installation and/or operation of a device, equipment or system, deviating from the instructions

of the manufacturer given in the user's manual

NOTE The installation refers to both the defined environment and electrical conditions including cabling.

3.8
reference point (for in situ measurement)
point at which in situ measurement is performed

NOTE 1 In case of radiated measurements, it is measured along a perpendicular line from the boundary to the

antenna reference point.

NOTE 2 Different reference points might be defined according to the frequency range.

NOTE 3 The boundary to be taken into account for measurement depends on the actual in situ conditions

3.9
physically large equipment

a group of items of equipment functionally connected to form a commercially specified

physically large equipment considered in a defined context as a whole and separated from

their environment

NOTE 1 An equipment can be considered as physically large when it has a total dimension exceeding that which

is practical for testing on a conventional 10 m test site.

NOTE 2 The physically large equipment is considered to be separated from the environment and from the other

external systems by an imaginary surface, which cuts the links between them and the physically large equipment.

NOTE 3 For the purpose of this document, the elements of the physically large equipment are objects such as

devices, items of equipment or sub-systems. They are interrelated for achieving an objective which is the

performance of a function or a set of functions.

EUT
the equipment (devices, appliances and systems) subjected to tests
4 Methodology
4.1 Structure of each measurement

The investigated EUT shall be checked and measured at each type of port for which EMC

requirements are defined. In case of interference complaints this may be restricted to those

ports which cause the interference situation. Each measurement may be separated according

to the following steps.

• A preliminary measurement of the investigated port is carried out to detect the frequencies

with the highest emissions by a measurement method which may deviate from the

measurement method on the standardized test site as described in the relevant part of

CISPR 16-2.

• Frequently appearing operating modes of the EUT have to be checked in order to find the

mode with the highest disturbance emission (see 4.3).

• For each investigation the reference point has to be selected at the EUT and has to be

used for the final measurements (see also 4.3).
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
– 8 – TR CISPR 16-2-5 © IEC:2008(E)

• The measurement quantity has to be identified under environmental conditions for the final

measurement. This value may have to be transferred to the standard conditions if

necessary. In case of interference complaint, the value of the measurement quantity

needs only be determined in the direction in which compatibility is required. This value

may have to be transferred to the standard conditions if necessary.
4.2 Preliminary measurements and selection of measurement method

It is useful to apply different approaches for the detection of the frequencies with the highest

emissions. One approach could be to check the technical documentation of the EUT with

respect to such emissions; another
