Overview

IEC 62236-3-2:2018 - Railway applications - Electromagnetic compatibility - Part 3-2: Rolling stock - Apparatus - sets out EMC emission and immunity requirements for electrical and electronic apparatus intended for use on railway rolling stock. This third edition (2018) is focused on the integration of apparatus on rolling stock, defining limits and test methods for conducted and radiated disturbances across a very wide frequency range (DC to 400 GHz). The standard is intended to ensure that onboard equipment neither interferes with, nor is unacceptably affected by, other railway systems or external radio sources.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and applicability: Applies to apparatus used on rolling stock; test application depends on apparatus type, configuration, ports and operating conditions. Not intended for intentional radio transmitters; immunity exclusion bands per radio equipment standards apply.
  • Emission and immunity limits: Defines limits and test methods for conducted and radiated disturbances. Emission requirements were extended into the 1 GHz–6 GHz band; immunity requirements extended to 5.1 GHz–6 GHz in this edition.
  • Ports and test assignments: Requirements are port-specific (e.g., traction AC/DC power ports, auxiliary power, battery, signal/communication, process measurement/control ports, enclosure ports). Tables in the standard list applicable tests per port.
  • Test methods referenced: Uses established IEC and CISPR techniques (for example IEC 61000-4 series test methods and CISPR measurement methods) and should be read in conjunction with IEC 62236-1 (general provisions).
  • Annexes: Informative annexes provide examples of apparatus and ports (Annex A) and detailed guidance on conducted disturbances from power converters (Annex B).
  • Exclusions: Transient emissions during start/stop are excluded; intentional radiators are covered by radio regulations rather than these EMC limits.

Practical applications and who uses this standard

IEC 62236-3-2 is used by:

  • Rolling stock OEMs and system integrators to specify EMC performance during vehicle design and integration.
  • Component and apparatus manufacturers to design products that meet railway EMC requirements for onboard use.
  • EMC test laboratories and certification bodies to plan and perform the required conducted and radiated tests and to interpret port-specific tables.
  • Railway operators and maintainers when assessing retrofit compatibility and interference risk on existing fleets.

Practical benefits include reduced risk of onboard equipment interference, clearer test requirements for procurement and compliance, and harmonized EMC practices across international projects.

Part 3-2: Rolling stock – Apparatus

1 Scope
This part of IEC 62236 applies to emission and immunity aspects of EMC for electrical and
electronic apparatus intended for use on railway rolling stock. IEC 62236-3-2 applies for the
integration of apparatus on rolling stock.
The frequency range considered is from DC to 400 GHz. No measurements need to be
performed at frequencies where no requirement is specified.
The application of tests shall depends on the particular apparatus, its configuration, its ports,
its technology and its operating conditions.
This document takes into account the internal environment of the railway rolling stock and the
external environment of the railway, and interference to the apparatus from equipment such
as hand-held radio-transmitters.
If a port is intended to transmit or receive for the purpose of radio communication (intentional
radiators, e.g. transponder systems), then the radiated emission and immunity limits in this
standard at the communication frequency do not apply requirement in this document is not
intended to be applicable to the intentional transmission from a radio-transmitter as defined
by the ITU.
Immunity limits do not apply in the exclusion bands as defined in the corresponding EMC
related standard for radio equipment.
This document does not apply to transient emissions when starting or stopping the apparatus.
The objective of this document is to define limits and test methods for electromagnetic
emissions and immunity test requirements in relation to conducted and radiated disturbances.
These limits and tests represent essential electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
Emission requirements have been selected so as to ensure that disturbances generated by
the apparatus operated normally on railway rolling stock do not exceed a level which could
prevent other apparatus from operating as intended. The emission limits given in this
document take precedence over emission requirements for individual apparatus on board the
rolling stock given in other standards.
Likewise, the immunity requirements have been selected so as to ensure an adequate level of
immunity for rolling stock apparatus.
The levels do not however cover extreme cases which may occur with an extremely low
probability of occurrence in any location. Specific requirements which deviate from this
standard shall be specified.
Test requirements are specified for each port considered.

4 Performance criteria
The variety and the diversity of the apparatus within the scope of this document make it
difficult to define precise criteria for the evaluation of the immunity test results.
A functional description and a definition of performance criteria, during or as a consequence
of the EMC testing, shall be provided by the manufacturer and noted in the test report, based
on the criteria A, B, C defined in IEC 62236-1:2018.
5 Conditions during testing
It is not always possible to test every function of the apparatus. The tests shall be made at a
typical operating mode considered by the manufacturer to produce the largest emission or
maximum susceptibility to noise disturbance as appropriate in the frequency band being
investigated consistent with normal applications. The manufacturer shall define The
conditions during testing shall be defined in a test plan (see basic standard of IEC 61000-4
series).
If the apparatus is part of a system, or can be connected to auxiliary apparatus, then the
apparatus shall be tested while connected to the minimum configuration of auxiliary apparatus
necessary to exercise the ports in accordance e.g. with CISPR 22 CISPR 32:2015, Clause 6.
The configuration and mode of operation shall be specified in the test plan and the actual
conditions, during the tests, shall be precisely noted in the test report.
If the apparatus has a large number of similar ports or 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 (e.g. 20 % of the ports or at least
four ports).
The tests shall be carried out within the specified operating range for the apparatus and at its
rated nominal supply voltage, unless otherwise indicated in the basic standard.
6 Applicability
The measurements in this document shall be made on the relevant ports of the apparatus.
It may be determined from consideration of the electrical characteristics, the connection and
the usage of a particular apparatus that some of the tests are not applicable (e.g. radiated

immunity of induction motors, transformers). In such cases, the decision not to test has to be
recorded in the test plan or and test report.
If not otherwise specified, the EMC tests shall be type tests.
7 Emission tests and limits
The emission tests and limits for apparatus covered by this document are given on a port by
port basis.
Measurements shall be performed in well-defined and reproducible conditions for each type of
disturbance.
The radiated emission limits defined for enclosure port in IEC 61000-6-4:2006, Table 1 shall
be complied with. The description of the test, the test methods and the test set-up are given in
Basic Standards which are referred to in Tables 1 to 6 IEC 61000-6-4:2006.
Measurement distance is 10 m according to line 1.1 in IEC 61000-6-4:2006, Table 1. A
measurement distance of 3 m may be used with the limit increased by 10 dB.
Traction converters and auxiliary converters over 50 kVA need not be tested individually, but
when the vehicle is tested as a whole in accordance with IEC 62236-3-1.
The description of the conducted emission tests, the test methods and the test set-up are
given in Basic Standards which are referred to in Tables 1 and 2.
The contents of these Basic Standards are not repeated herein, however, modifications or
additional information needed for the practical application of the tests are given in this
document.
NOTE The reference to “Basic Standard“ is intended to be limited to those parts of the standard that give the
description of the test, the test methods and the test set-up.

NOTE 2 At present, there is no agreed method or limit for conducted emissions on the traction supply from 9 kHz to 30 MHz. Limiting conducted emissions from an apparatus
connected to the traction supply will prevent excessive radiated emissions from the supply system. A method for measuring conducted emissions is proposed in Annex B.
Experience in this technique and the relationship between conducted and radiated emissions are necessary in order to make this standard progress in the future.

NOTE 1 At present, there are no limits for conducted emissions from 9 kHz to 150 kHz. Limiting conducted emissions from an apparatus will prevent excessive radiated
emissions. Experience in this technique and the relationship between conducted and radiated emissions are necessary in order to make this standard progress in the future.
NOTE 2 230 V AC power outlet ports for public use should offer a power quality, which is sufficient for the use of intended equipment like PC and mobile telephone chargers.
The total harmonic distortion should be limited by a sine-filter to ≤ 8 %. The burst and surge emissions of the outlet should be limited to the levels of residential equipment
according to IEC 61000-6-1. AM radio receivers are not intended to be supplied by these power outlets.
NOTE 3 Wherever applicable the method defined by CISPR 11 is to be used. At present, the existing method of measuring conducted emissions (CISPR 11) has limitations in
terms of voltage and current rating of coupling networks. In addition, the method of measuring voltage has safety implications for testing high power systems. Limiting conducted
emissions from apparatus connected to external cable systems will prevent excessive radiated emissions.

of occurrence in any location. Specific requirements which deviate from this document shall
be specified.
To ensure the immunity of the complete vehicle, the limits requirements shall be applicable to
all relevant apparatus.
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 Basic Standards which are referred to in Tables 3 to 5.
The contents of these Basic Standards are not repeated herein, however, modifications or
additional information needed for the practical application of the tests are given in this
document.
When installing new apparatus in existing rolling stock or replacing apparatus, special care
should be taken to ensure that EMC is maintained, e.g. in the EMC plan.

such cases the manufacturer should test susceptible sub-systems (e.g. control electronics). The test report should justify the selection or not of sub-systems and any assumptions
made (e.g. reduction of field due to case shielding).
NOTE 3 The test in 5.2 of IEC 61000-4-3 should be applied at the digital radio telephone frequencies in use in the countries in which the equipment is intended to be operated.
NOTE 4 The immunity test levels may be reduced for equipment mounted in areas where the threat from mobile digital radio telephones has been demonstrated to be less severe.
NOTE 5 Only applicable to equipment accessible to passengers and operational staff (not maintenance).

Annex A
(informative)
Examples of apparatus and ports
The purpose of this annex is to provide examples of the different types of rolling stock
apparatus together with their ports. Examples of apparatus which may be placed on the
market as a single commercial unit are given in Table A.1. However, these items of apparatus
may also form a sub-system in a larger apparatus (e.g. control electronics in an auxiliary
converter). In this case, the requirements of the standard apply only to the apparatus which is
placed on the market. A port is defined in the standard as the interface of an apparatus with
the external environment. The matrix in the table indicates whether the particular apparatus is
relevant to emission, immunity or neither. This guidance is offered for the benefit of users of
this document, but it is not intended to be definitive. It is for the user of the document to make
the necessary technical judgements in determining whether or not a test is applicable.
The drawings of The following figures clarify the most essential ports. They show examples of
different arrangements.
Figure A.1 applies for an AC fed locomotive traction unit with AC traction drive and
psophometric filter on the line side.
Figure A.2 shows another AC/AC system with power factor correction filter on the converter
side and with DC or three-phase auxiliary and train power supply.
Figure A.3 shows a more conventional system with AC input and DC traction motors fed by
phase control converter.
Figure A.4 is a DC fed system with AC traction drive.
Figure A.5 shows some additional ports of converter and control electronics.
Of course, many other different system arrangements are possible.

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 IEC 62236-3-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 9:
Electrical equipment and systems for railways.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2008. It constitutes a
technical revision and has been developed on the basis of EN 50121-3-2:2015.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) clarification of scope (Clause 1);
b) new definition of ports and clarification in Tables 1 to 5;
c) emission requirement extended in the frequency range 1 GHz to 6 GHz following
IEC 61000-6-4;
d) immunity requirement extended in the frequency range 5,1 GHz to 6 GHz;

– 4 – IEC 62236-3-2:2018 © IEC 2018
e) revision of Annex B.
This International Standard is to be read in conjunction with IEC 62236-1.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
9/2338/FDIS 9/2368/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.

RAILWAY APPLICATIONS –
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY –

Part 3-2: Rolling stock – Apparatus

1 Scope
This part of IEC 62236 applies to emission and immunity aspects of EMC for electrical and
electronic apparatus intended for use on railway rolling stock. IEC 62236-3-2 applies for the
integration of apparatus on rolling stock.
The frequency range considered is from DC to 400 GHz. No measurements need to be
performed at frequencies where no requirement is specified.
The application of tests depends on the particular apparatus, its configuration, its ports, its
technology and its operating conditions.
This document takes into account the internal environment of the railway rolling stock and the
external environment of the railway, and interference to the apparatus from equipment such
as hand-held radio-transmitters.
If a port is intended to transmit or receive for the purpose of radio communication (intentional
radiators, e.g. transponder systems), then the radiated emission requirement in this document
is not intended to be applicable to the intentional transmission from a radio-transmitter as
defined by the ITU.
Immunity limits do not apply in the exclusion bands as defined in the corresponding EMC
related standard for radio equipment.
This document does not apply to transient emissions when starting or stopping the apparatus.
The objective of this document is to define limits and test methods for electromagnetic
emissions and immunity test requirements in relation to conducted and radiated disturbances.
These limits and tests represent essential electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
Emission requirements have been selected so as to ensure that disturbances generated by
the apparatus operated normally on railway rolling stock do not exceed a level which could
prevent other apparatus from operating as intended. The emission limits given in this
document take precedence over emission requirements for individual apparatus on board the
rolling stock given in other standards.
Likewise, the immunity requirements have been selected so as to ensure an adequate level of
immunity for rolling stock apparatus.
Test requirements are specified for each port considered.
These specific provisions are used in conjunction with the general provisions in IEC 62236-1.

4 Performance criteria
The variety and the diversity of the apparatus within the scope of this document make it
difficult to define precise criteria for the evaluation of the immunity test results.
A functional description and a definition of performance criteria, during or as a consequence
of the EMC testing, shall be provided by the manufacturer and noted in the test report, based
on the criteria A, B, C defined in IEC 62236-1:2018.
5 Conditions during testing
It is not always possible to test every function of the apparatus. The tests shall be made at a
typical operating mode considered by the manufacturer to produce the largest emission or
maximum susceptibility to disturbance as appropriate in the frequency band being
investigated consistent with normal applications. The conditions during testing shall be
defined in a test plan (see basic standard of IEC 61000-4 series).
If the apparatus is part of a system, or can be connected to auxiliary apparatus, then the
apparatus shall be tested while connected to the minimum configuration of auxiliary apparatus
necessary to exercise the ports in accordance e.g. with CISPR 32:2015, Clause 6.
The configuration and mode of operation shall be specified in the test plan and the actual
conditions, during the tests, shall be precisely noted in the test report.
If the apparatus has a large number of similar ports or 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 (e.g. 20 % of the ports or at least
four ports).
The tests shall be carried out within the specified operating range for the apparatus and at its
nominal supply voltage, unless otherwise indicated.
6 Applicability
The measurements in this document shall be made on the relevant ports of the apparatus.
It may be determined from consideration of the electrical characteristics, the connection and
the usage of a particular apparatus that some of the tests are not applicable (e.g. radiated
immunity of induction motors, transformers). In such cases, the decision not to test has to be
recorded in the test plan and test report.
If not otherwise specified, the EMC tests shall be type tests.
7 Emission tests and limits
The emission tests and limits for apparatus covered by this document are given on a port by
port basis.
Measurements shall be performed in well-defined and reproducible conditions for each type of
disturbance.
The radiated emission limits defined for enclosure port in IEC 61000-6-4:2006, Table 1 shall
be complied with. The description of the test, the test methods and the test set-up are given in
Basic Standards which are referred to in IEC 61000-6-4:2006.

Measurement distance is 10 m according to line 1.1 in IEC 61000-6-4:2006, Table 1. A
measurement distance of 3 m may be used with the limit increased by 10 dB.
Traction converters and auxiliary converters over 50 kVA need not be tested individually, but
when the vehicle is tested as a whole in accordance with IEC 62236-3-1.
The description of the conducted emission tests, the test methods and the test set-up are
given in Basic Standards which are referred to in Tables 1 and 2.
The contents of these Basic Standards are not repeated herein, however, modifications or
additional information needed for the practical application of the tests are given in this
document.
NOTE The reference to “Basic Standard“ is intended to be limited to those parts of the standard that give the
description of the test, the test methods and the test set-up.

a
Wherever applicable the method defined by CISPR 16-2-1 is to be used. At present the existing method of measuring conducted emissions (CISPR 16-2-1) has limitations in
terms of voltage and current rating of coupling networks. In addition, the method of measuring voltage has safety implications for testing high power systems. Limiting
conducted emissions from apparatus connected to external cable systems will prevent excessive radiated emissions.
b
This requirement refers to the industrial limit values, but considering they have been defined to protect radio and TV sets and as the objective is not the same here, the
applicable limit for railway applications has been relaxed by 20 dB to be more representative of potential problems.
c
This requirement is not applicable to power ports which are connected to other dedicated, compatible ports.

8 Immunity requirements
The immunity requirements for apparatus covered by this document are given on a port by
port basis.
The levels do not however cover all cases which may occur with an extremely low probability
of occurrence in any location. Specific requirements which deviate from this document shall
be specified.
To ensure the immunity of the complete vehicle, the requirements shall be applicable to all
relevant apparatus.
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 Basic Standards which are referred to in Tables 3 to 5.
The contents of these Basic Standards are not repeated herein, however, modifications or
additional information needed for the practical application of the tests are given in this
document.
When installing new apparatus in existing rolling stock or replacing apparatus, special care
should be taken to ensure that EMC is maintained, e.g. in the EMC plan.

The test applies to the power supply ports and the battery control input output ports. This test is intended to replicate the phenomenon known as direct coupling; hence, an
output impedance of 42 Ω (40 Ω and 2 Ω generator) and a coupling capacitance of 0,5 µF is specified. This value is accepted as a compromise, as the impedance of battery
referenced network inside a rolling stock can vary up to a few hundred ohms depending on its length.

This limit applies to equipment mounted in the passenger compartments, drivers cab or external to the rolling stock (roof, underframe). For equipment mounted in all other
areas, a severity level of 10 V/m may be used.
b
For large apparatus (e.g. traction drives, auxiliary converters), it is often not practical to perform the immunity test to radiated electromagnetic fields on the complete unit. In
such cases the manufacturer should test susceptible sub-systems (e.g. control electronics). The test report should justify the selection or not of sub-systems and any
assumptions made (e.g. reduction of field due to case shielding).
c
Only applicable to equipment accessible to passengers and operational staff (not maintenance).

Annex A
(informative)
Examples of apparatus and ports
The purpose of this annex is to provide examples of the different types of rolling stock
apparatus together with their ports. Examples of apparatus which may be placed on the
market as a single commercial unit are given in Table A.1. However, these items of apparatus
may also form a sub-system in a larger apparatus (e.g. control electronics in an auxiliary
converter). In this case, the requirements of the standard apply only to the apparatus which is
placed on the market. A port is defined in the standard as the interface of an apparatus with
the external environment. The matrix in the table indicates whether the particular apparatus is
relevant to emission, immunity or neither. This guidance is offered for the benefit of users of
this document, but it is not intended to be definitive. It is for the user of the document to make
the necessary technical judgements in determining whether or not a test is applicable.
The following figures clarify the most essential ports. They show examples of different
arrangements.
Figure A.1 applies for an AC fed traction unit with AC traction drive and psophometric filter on
the line side.
Figure A.2 shows another AC/AC system with power factor correction filter on the converter
side and with DC or three-phase auxiliary and train power supply.
Figure A.3 shows a more conventional system with AC input and DC traction motors fed by
phase control converter.
Figure A.4 is a DC fed system with AC traction drive.
Figure A.5 shows some additional ports of converter and control electronics.
Of course, many other different system arrangements are possible.
