INTEGRATED CIRCUITS –
MEASUREMENT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS,
150 kHz to 1 GHz –
Part 1: General conditions and definitions
FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61967-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 47A: Integrated
circuits, of IEC technical committee 47: Semiconductor devices.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
47A/632/FDIS 47A/643/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 3.
Annexes A, B and C are for information only.

INTEGRATED CIRCUITS –
MEASUREMENT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS,
150 kHz to 1 GHz –
Part 1: General conditions and definitions
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61967 provides general information and definitions on measurement of
conducted and radiated electromagnetic disturbances from integrated circuits. It also provides
a description of measurement conditions, test equipment and set-up as well as the test
procedures and content of the test reports. A test method comparison table is included as
annex A to assist in selecting the appropriate measurement method(s).
The object of this standard is to describe general conditions in order to establish a uniform
testing environment and obtain a quantitative measure of RF disturbances from integrated
circuits (IC). Critical parameters that are expected to influence the test results are described.
Deviations from this standard are noted explicitly in the individual test report. The measure-
ment results can be used for comparison or other purposes.
Measurement of the voltage and current of conducted RF emissions or radiated RF
disturbances, coming from an integrated circuit under controlled conditions, yields information
about the potential for RF disturbances in an application of the integrated circuit.
