AMENDMENT 1
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) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 1 to CISPR 15:2018 has been prepared by subcommittee CIS/F: Interference
relating to household appliances tools, lighting equipment and similar apparatus, of IEC
technical committee CISPR: International special committee on radio interference.

INTRODUCTION
This Amendment includes the following significant technical changes with respect to
CISPR 15:2018.
a) The voltage probe method for the conducted disturbance measurement of local wired port
other than the electrical power supply interface of ELV lamps has been deleted.
b) Limits and measurement methods have been introduced for radiated disturbance of the
enclosure port in the frequency range 1 GHz to 6 GHz.
c) The test set-up for the conical metal housing for single capped lamps has been rotated.
d) The arrangement of cables connected to interfaces of wired network ports has been
modified. Cable length has been extended to 1,0 m.
e) Measuring arrangements for conducted disturbances for very large EUTs have been
clarified.
f) Annex E regarding statistical methods has been deleted.

1 Scope
Replace the first and second paragraphs with the following text:
This document sets out requirements for controlling the emission (radiated and conducted) of
radiofrequency disturbances from:
– lighting equipment (3.3.16) and modules, except for the types excluded in the second
paragraph;
– the lighting part of multi-function equipment where this lighting part is a primary function;
NOTE 1 Examples are lighting equipment with visible-light communication.
– UV and IR radiation equipment for residential and non-industrial applications;
– simple advertising signs (see 3.3.1);
– decorative and entertainment lighting (see 3.3.6);
– emergency signs.
Excluded from the scope of this document are:
– components or modules intended to be built into lighting equipment and which are not user-
replaceable;
– lighting equipment intended exclusively for aircraft or airfield facilities (runways, service
facilities, platforms). However, general-purpose lighting that can be installed in many
locations, including installations not related to aircraft or airfield, is not excluded from the
scope of this document;
– installations;
– equipment for which the electromagnetic compatibility requirements in the radio-frequency
range are explicitly formulated in other IEC standards, even if they incorporate a built-in
lighting function.
NOTE 2 Examples of exclusions are:
– equipment with built-in lighting devices for display back lighting, scale illumination and signalling;
– video signs and dynamic displays (in scope of CISPR 32);
– range hoods, refrigerators, freezers (in scope of CISPR 14);
– photocopiers, projectors (in scope of CISPR 32);
– lighting equipment for road vehicles (in scope of CISPR 12);
– maritime equipment (in scope of IEC TC 18 and TC 80);
– lighting equipment operating in the ISM frequency bands (in scope of CISPR 11).

Replace the sixth paragraph with the following text:
