Railway applications - Electromagnetic compatibility - Part 4: Emission and immunity of the signalling and telecommunications apparatus

IEC 62236-4:2008 specifies limits for emission and immunity and provides performance criteria for signalling and telecommunications apparatus which may interfere with other apparatus in the railway environment, or increase the total emissions for the railway environment beyond the limits defined in the appropriate standard and so risk causing electromagnetic interference to apparatus outside the railway system. The main change with respect to the previous edition consists of the requirements for the radiated immunity test.

Applications ferroviaires - Compatibilité électromagnétique - Partie 4: Emission et immunité des appareils de signalisation et de télécommunication

La CEI 62236-4:2008 spécifie les limites d'émission et d'immunité et donne les critères d'aptitude à la fonction pour les appareils de signalisation et de télécommunication qui peuvent perturber d'autres appareils dans l'environnement ferroviaire ou augmenter les émissions totales pour l'environnement ferroviaire au-delà des limites définies dans la norme appropriée et qui risquent ainsi d'être la cause d'un brouillage électromagnétique pour des appareils à l'extérieur du système ferroviaire. Les modification principales par rapport à l'édition précédente concernent les exigences pour l'essai d'immunité rayonnée.

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.

International Standard IEC 62236-4 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 9:

INTRODUCTION


This part of IEC 62236 has been prepared in the form of a product standard.


It defines the immunity and emission test requirements for apparatus defined in the scope in
relation to the electromagnetic disturbances likely to be experienced in the railway. In

particular, the test requirements represent the essential electromagnetic immunity

requirements and have been selected to ensure an adequate level of immunity for apparatus

installed in the railway locations.


Test requirements are specified for each port considered.

Safety considerations are not covered by this standard.
In special situations, where the level of disturbances may exceed the levels considered in this
standard, for example at a special location or where a hand-held transmitter is used in very
close proximity to an apparatus, special mitigation measures may be necessary.

RAILWAY APPLICATIONS –

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY –



Part 4: Emission and immunity of the signalling

and telecommunications apparatus








1 Scope

This part of IEC 62236 applies to signalling and telecommunication apparatus which is
installed in the railway environment. Signalling and telecommunication apparatus mounted in
vehicles is covered by IEC 62236-3-2.
This standard specifies limits for emission and immunity and provides performance criteria for
signalling and telecommunications (S&T) apparatus which may interfere with other apparatus
in the railway environment, or increase the total emissions for the railway environment beyond
the limits defined in the appropriate standard and so risk causing Electro-Magnetic
Interference (EMI) to apparatus outside the railway system.
Apparatus which complies with the emission levels of IEC 61000-6-4 will meet the emission
requirements of this standard provided that emissions from any d.c. power port are within the
emissions limits specified for a.c. power ports. The immunity levels of IEC 61000-6-2 will also
be adequate except for the special case of apparatus as defined in Note 1 of Table 1. This
standard provides the immunity requirements for such apparatus.
The immunity levels given for the apparatus will in most cases allow the apparatus to perform
as intended in the railway environment (see Note). The immunity level establishes a common
reference for evaluating the performance of the apparatus when subject to interference
resulting from direct exposure of the apparatus and associated cables to a radio frequency
field, or by coupling of the interference from a remote source.
If a port is intended to transmit or receive for the purpose of radio communication (intentional
radiators, e.g. transponder systems), then the emission and immunity limits in this standard at
the communication frequency do not apply.
The standard does not specify basic personal safety requirements for apparatus such as
protection against electric shock, unsafe operation, insulation co-ordination and related
dielectric tests. The requirements were developed for and are applicable to this set of
apparatus when operating under normal conditions. Fault conditions of the apparatus have

not been taken into account.
The requirements and test methods also apply to telecommunications and signalling data and
power lines connected to the equipment under test (EUT).
The frequency range considered is from d.c. to 400 GHz. No measurements need to be
performed at frequencies where no requirement is specified.
For products in the scope of IEC 61000-3-2 or IEC 61000-3-3, the requirements of those
standards apply.
Testing methods are given in the basic standards listed in Clause 2.
These specific provisions are to be used in conjunction with the general provisions in
IEC 62236-1.

NOTE The immunity and emission levels do not of themselves guarantee that the integration of apparatus will

necessarily be satisfactory. The standard cannot cover all the possible configurations of the apparatus, but the test
levels are sufficient to achieve satisfactory EMC in the majority of cases.

4 Description of location
The railway environment is characterised as described in IEC 62236-1. Special consideration
is given in this standard to apparatus intended to be installed within 3 m of the centreline of
the nearest track and as defined in Note 1 of Table 1.
NOTE Tests covering compatibility with specific items of signalling equipment may be required.
5 Emission limits for apparatus
The maximum emissions permitted by IEC 61000-6-4 shall be complied with. The conducted
emission limits shall apply to both a.c. and d.c. power ports. A measurement distance of 10 m
may be used with the limits increased by 10 dB for the radiated emission of the enclosure
port. Where the apparatus is intended to be used in an environment other than the railway
environment, then the emission limits given in the appropriate standards shall apply.
If the field-strength measurement at 10 m or 30 m cannot be made because of high ambient
noise levels, or for other reasons, measurements may be made at a closer distance, for

example 3 m. An inverse proportionality factor of 20 dB per decade should be used to
normalize the measured data to the specified distance for determining compliance. Care
should be taken in the measurement of large EUTs at 3 m at frequencies near 30 MHz, due to
the near field effects.
6 Immunity
6.1 Performance criteria
It is impossible to define precise criteria for the evaluation of the apparatus within the scope
of this standard, but performance criteria are as specified in IEC 62236-1, unless otherwise
stated.
6.2 Test requirements
The immunity requirements for apparatus covered by this standard are given on a port by port
basis.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
62236-4 © IEC:2008 – 9 –


Tests shall be conducted in a well-defined and reproducible manner. The tests shall be

carried out as single tests in sequence. The sequence of testing is optional. The description

of the test, the test generator, the test methods and the test set-up are given in the basic

standards referred to in Tables 1 to 5. If the apparatus has a large number of similar ports

with many similar connections, then a sufficient number shall be selected to simulate actual

operating conditions and to ensure that all the different types of termination are covered.


The contents of the basic standards are not repeated here; however, additional information

needed for the practical application of the tests is given where appropriate.


Voltages induced by traction currents are not treated here. They have to be covered by the

functional specification.
