La présente norme ECSS-E-ST-20-07 spécifie les exigences détaillées applicables au système (Article 4), les conditions générales d'essai, les exigences de vérifications au niveau système et les méthodes d'essai aux niveaux sous-systèmes et équipements (Article 5), ainsi que les limites données à titre d'information (5.4.14.4d.6).
L'ECSS-E-ST-20-06 « Charges électrostatiques des engins spatiaux » est associée à la présente norme. Elle traite du contrôle de la charge et des risques provenant des charges des engins spatiaux induites par l'environnement et le véhicule, tandis que l'ECSS-E-ST-20-07 traite des effets électromagnétiques des décharges électrostatiques.
Les Annexes A à C de l'ECSS-E-ST-20 documentent les activités CEM liées à l'ECSS-E-ST-20-07 : le plan de contrôle CEM (Annexe A) définit l'approche, les méthodes, les procédures, les ressources et l'organisation ; le plan de vérification des effets électromagnétiques (Annexe B) définit et spécifie les processus de vérification, les analyses et les essais ; enfin, le rapport de vérification des effets électromagnétiques (Annexe C) documente les résultats de vérification. L’EMEVP et l’EMEVR constituent les moyens de mise en place de la présente norme.
La présente norme peut être adaptée aux caractéristiques et contraintes spécifiques d’un projet spatial, conformément à l’ECSS-S-ST-00-02.

Introduction
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of a space system or equipment is the
ability to function satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without
introducing intolerable electromagnetic disturbances to anything in that
environment.
The space system is designed to be compatible with its external natural, induced,
or man-made electromagnetic environment. Natural components are lightning
for launchers, the terrestrial magnetic field for space vehicles. Spacecraft
charging is defined as voltage building-up of a space vehicle or spacecraft units
when immerged in plasma. Electrostatic discharges result from spacecraft
charging with possible detrimental effects. External man-made interference,
intentional or not, are caused by radar or telecommunication beams during
ground operations and the launching sequence. Intersystem EMC also applies
between the launcher and its payload or between space vehicles.
Intrasystem EMC is defined between all electrical, electronic, electromagnetic,
and electromechanical equipment within the space vehicle and by the presence
of its self-induced electromagnetic environment. It comprises the intentional
radiated electromagnetic fields and parasitic emission from on-board equipment.
Both conducted and radiated emissions are concerned. An electromagnetic
interference safety margin is defined at system critical points by comparison of
noise level and susceptibility at these points.

Scope
EMC policy and general system requirements are specified in ECSS-E-ST-20.
This ECSS-E-ST-20-07 Standard addresses detailed system requirements
(Clause 4), general test conditions, verification requirements at system level, and
test methods at subsystem and equipment level (Clause 5) as well as informative
limits (Annex A).
Associated to this standard is ECSS-E-ST-20-06 “Spacecraft charging”, which
addresses charging control and risks arising from environmental and vehicle-
induced spacecraft charging when ECSS-E-ST-20-07 addresses electromagnetic
effects of electrostatic discharges.
Annexes A to C of the ECSS-E-ST-20 standard document EMC activities related
to ECSS-E-ST-20-07: the EMC Control Plan (Annex A) defines the approach,
methods, procedures, resources, and organization, the Electromagnetic Effects
Verification Plan (Annex B) defines and specifies the verification processes,
analyses and tests, and the Electromagnetic Effects Verification Report (Annex C)
document verification results. The EMEVP and the EMEVR are the vehicles for
tailoring this standard.
This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristic and constrains of a
space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00-02.

European Foreword
This document (prEN 16603-20-07:2021) has been prepared by Technical
Committee CEN/CLC/TC 5 “Space”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN
(Germany).
This document (prEN 16603-20-07:2021) originates from ECSS-E-ST-20-07C
Rev.2-DIR1.
This document is currently submitted to the ENQUIRY.
This document will supersede EN 16603-20-07:2014.
This document has been developed to cover specifically space systems and will
therefore have precedence over any EN covering the same scope but with a wider
do-main of applicability (e.g. : aerospace).

Introduction
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of a space system or equipment is the
ability to function satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without
introducing intolerable electromagnetic disturbances to anything in that
environment.
The space system is designed to be compatible with its external natural, induced,
or man-made electromagnetic environment. Natural components are lightning
for launchers, the terrestrial magnetic field for space vehicles. Spacecraft
charging is defined as voltage building-up of a space vehicle or spacecraft units
when immerged in plasma. Electrostatic discharges result from spacecraft
charging with possible detrimental effects. External man-made interference,
intentional or not, are caused by radar or telecommunication beams during
ground operations and the launching sequence. Intersystem EMC also applies
between the launcher and its payload or between space vehicles.
Intrasystem EMC is defined between all electrical, electronic, electromagnetic,
and electromechanical equipment within the space vehicle and by the presence
of its self-induced electromagnetic environment. It comprises the intentional
radiated electromagnetic fields and parasitic emission from on-board equipment.
Both conducted and radiated emissions are concerned. An electromagnetic
interference safety margin is defined at system critical points by comparison of
noise level and susceptibility at these points.

Scope
EMC policy and general system requirements are specified in ECSS-E-ST-20.
This ECSS-E-ST-20-07 Standard addresses detailed system requirements
(Clause 4), general test conditions, verification requirements at system level, and
test methods at subsystem and equipment level (Clause 5) as well as informative
limits (5.4.14.4d.6).
Associated to this standard is ECSS-E-ST-20-06 “Spacecraft charging”, which
addresses charging control and risks arising from environmental and vehicle-
induced spacecraft charging when ECSS-E-ST-20-07 addresses electromagnetic
effects of electrostatic discharges.
Annexes A to C of ECSS-E-ST-20 document EMC activities related to
ECSS-E-ST-20-07: the EMC Control Plan (Annex A) defines the approach,
methods, procedures, resources, and organization, the Electromagnetic Effects
Verification Plan (Annex B) defines and specifies the verification processes,
analyses and tests, and the Electromagnetic Effects Verification Report (Annex C)
document verification results. The EMEVP and the EMEVR are the vehicles for
tailoring this standard.
This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristic and constrains of a
space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00-02.
