Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 1-2: General - Methodology for the achievement of functional safety of electrical and electronic systems including equipment with regard to electromagnetic phenomena

This part of IEC 61000 establishes a methodology for the achievement of functional safety
only with regard to electromagnetic phenomena. This methodology includes the implication it
has on equipment used in such systems and installations.
This standard:
a) applies to safety-related systems and installations incorporating
electrical/electronic/programmable electronic equipment as installed and used under
operational conditions;
b) considers the influence of the electromagnetic environment on safety-related systems;
c) is not concerned with direct hazards from electromagnetic fields on living beings nor is it
concerned with safety related to breakdown of insulation or other mechanisms by which
persons can be exposed to electrical hazards.
It mainly covers EMC related aspects of the design and application specific phases of safetyrelated
systems and equipment used therein, and deals in particular with
• some basic concepts in the area of functional safety,
• the various EMC specific steps for the achievement and management of functional safety,
• the description and assessment of the electromagnetic environment,
• the EMC aspects of the design and integration process, taking into account the process of
EMC safety planning on system as well as on equipment level,
• the validation and verification processes regarding the immunity against electromagnetic
disturbances,
• the performance criterion and some test philosophy considerations for safety-related
systems and the equipment used therein,
• aspects related to testing of the immunity of safety-related systems and equipment used
therein against electromagnetic disturbances.
This International Standard is applicable to electrical/electronic/programmable electronic
(E/E/PE) safety-related systems intended to comply with the requirements of IEC 61508
and/or associated sector-specific functional safety standards. It is intended for designers,
manufacturers, installers and users of safety-related systems and can be used as a guide by
IEC committees.
For safety-related systems covered by other functional safety standards, the requirements of
this standard should be considered in order to identify the appropriate measures that should
be taken with relation to EMC and functional safety.
NOTE This standard can also be used as a guide for considering EMC requirements for other systems having a
direct contribution to safety.

Compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM) - Partie 1-2: Généralités - Méthodologie pour la réalisation de la sécurité fonctionnelle des systèmes électriques et électroniques, y compris les équipements, du point de vue des phénomènes électromagnétiques

L'IEC 61000-1-2:2016 établit une méthodologie pour la réalisation de la sécurité fonctionnelle uniquement du point de vue des phénomènes électromagnétiques. Cette méthodologie inclut les conséquences qu'elle a sur les équipements utilisés dans ce type de systèmes et d'installations. Elle a le statut d une publication fondamentale de sécurité conformément au Guide IEC 104. Cette première édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition de l'IEC TS 61000-1-2 parue en 2008. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.

Elektromagnetna združljivost (EMC) - 1-2. del: Splošno - Metodologija za doseganje funkcionalne varnosti električne in elektronske opreme v zvezi z elektromagnetnimi pojavi

Ta del standarda IEC 61000 določa metodologijo za doseganje funkcionalne varnosti samo v zvezi z elektromagnetnimi pojavi. Ta metodologija vključuje vpliv, ki ga ima na opremo, uporabljeno v takšnih sistemih in napeljavah.
Ta standard:
a) se uporablja za varnostne sisteme in napeljave, ki vključujejo električno/elektronsko/programirljivo elektronsko opremo kot vgrajeno in uporabljeno pod pogoji delovanja;
b) upošteva vpliv elektromagnetnega okolja na varnostne sisteme;
c) ne obravnava neposrednih nevarnosti elektromagnetnih polj na živa bitja ali varnostjo v povezavi z okvaro izolacije ali drugih mehanizmov, ki lahko privede do izpostavljenosti oseb električni nevarnosti.
Zajema predvsem vidike elektromagnetne združljivosti načrtovanja in uporabe posebnih faz varnostnih sistemov
in povezane opreme ter obravnava predvsem
• nekatere osnovne koncepte na področju funkcionalne varnosti,
• različne korake elektromagnetne združljivosti za doseganje in upravljanje funkcionalne varnosti,
• opis in oceno elektromagnetnega okolja,
• vidike elektromagnetne združljivosti oblikovanja in procesa integracije, upoštevajoč procese varnostnega načrtovanja elektromagnetne združljivosti na ravni sistema in opreme,
• procese vrednotenja in preverjanja v zvezi z odpornostjo na elektromagnetne motnje,
• kriterije delovanja in preskusna načela za varnostne sisteme in povezano opremo,
• vidike, povezane s preskušanjem odpornosti varnostnih sistemov in opreme na elektromagnetne motnje.
Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za električne/elektronske/programirljive elektronske varnostne sisteme (E/E/PE), ki so predvidoma v skladu z zahtevami standarda IEC 61508 in/ali povezanih standardov, ki obravnavajo funkcionalno varnost v posamezni panogi. Namenjen je oblikovalcem, proizvajalcem, monterjem in uporabnikom varnostnih sistemov in se lahko uporablja kot priročnik odborov za standarde IEC.
Za varnostne sisteme, ki jih obravnavajo drugi standardi za funkcionalno varnost, morajo biti za prepoznavanje primernih ukrepov upoštevane zahteve standarda v povezavi z elektromagnetno združljivostjo in funkcionalno varnostjo.
OPOMBA: Ta standard se lahko uporablja tudi kot priročnik za upoštevanje zahtev glede elektromagnetne združljivosti za druge sisteme, ki so v neposredni povezavi z varnostjo.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) –

Part 1-2: General – Methodology for the achievement of functional safety
of electrical and electronic systems including equipment with regard to
electromagnetic phenomena

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 61000-1-2 has been prepared by technical committee 77:
Electromagnetic compatibility.
It has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.
This first edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC TS 61000-1-2 published in
2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
• Alignment with the changes done in the latest edition of the functional safety standard
IEC 61508.
