Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 4-3: Testing and measurement techniques - Radiated, radiofrequency, electromagnetic field immunity test
This part of IEC 61000 is applicable to the immunity requirements of electrical and electronic
equipment to radiated electromagnetic energy. It establishes test levels and the required test
procedures.
The object of this document is to establish a common reference for evaluating the immunity of
electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to radiated, radio-frequency
electromagnetic fields. The test method documented in this part of IEC 61000 describes a
consistent method to assess the immunity of an equipment or system against RF
electromagnetic fields from RF sources not in close proximity to the EUT. The test environment
is specified in Clause 6.
NOTE 1 As described in IEC Guide 107, this is a basic EMC publication for use by product committees of the IEC.
As also stated in Guide 107, the IEC product committees are responsible for determining whether this immunity test
standard should be applied or not, and if applied, they are responsible for determining the appropriate test levels
and performance criteria. TC 77 and its sub-committees are prepared to co-operate with product committees in the
evaluation of the value of particular immunity tests for their products.
NOTE 2 Immunity testing against RF sources in close proximity to the EUT is defined in IEC 61000-4-39.
Particular considerations are devoted to the protection against radio-frequency emissions from
digital radiotelephones and other RF emitting devices.
NOTE 3 Test methods are defined in this part for evaluating the effect that electromagnetic radiation has on the
equipment concerned. The simulation and measurement of electromagnetic radiation is not adequately exact for
quantitative determination of effects. The test methods defined in this basic document have the primary objective of
establishing an adequate reproducibility of testing configuration and repeatability of test results at various test
facilities.
This document is an independent test method. It is not possible to use other test methods as
substitutes for claiming compliance with this document.
Elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit (EMV) - Teil 4-3: Prüf- und Messverfahren - Prüfung der Störfestigkeit gegen hochfrequente elektromagnetische Felder
Compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM) - Partie 4-3 : Techniques d'essai et de mesure - Essai d'immunité aux champs électromagnétiques rayonnés aux fréquences radioélectriques
IEC 61000-4-3:2020 traite des exigences d'immunité des matériels électriques et électroniques à l'énergie électromagnétique rayonnée. Elle définit les niveaux d'essai et les procédures d'essai exigés. Le présent document a pour objet d'établir une référence commune d'évaluation des performances en matière d’immunité des matériels électriques et électroniques soumis à des champs électromagnétiques aux fréquences radioélectriques. La méthode d'essai documentée dans la présente partie de l’IEC 61000 décrit une méthode cohérente d’évaluation de l'immunité d'un équipement ou d'un système aux champs électromagnétiques à fréquences radioélectriques générés par des sources de rayonnement aux fréquences radioélectriques qui ne se trouvent pas à proximité immédiate de l’EUT. L’environnement d’essai est spécifié à l’Article 6.
NOTE 1 Comme cela est décrit dans le Guide IEC 107, cette publication est une publication fondamentale en CEM destinée à être utilisée par les comités de produits de l’IEC. Comme cela est également indiqué dans le Guide 107, les comités de produits de l’IEC sont responsables de déterminer s’il convient d’appliquer ou non la présente norme d’essai d’immunité et, si c’est le cas, ils sont responsables de déterminer les niveaux d’essai et les critères de performance appropriés. Le comité d’études 77 et ses sous-comités sont prêts à coopérer avec les comités de produits à l’évaluation de la valeur des essais d’immunité particuliers pour leurs produits. NOTE 2 Les essais d’immunité aux sources de rayonnement aux fréquences radioélectriques à proximité de l’EUT sont définis dans l’IEC 61000-4-39. Des considérations particulières sont consacrées à la protection contre les émissions aux fréquences radioélectriques des radiotéléphones numériques et d'autres dispositifs d'émission RF. NOTE 3 La présente partie définit des méthodes d'essai pour évaluer l'incidence des rayonnements électromagnétiques sur le matériel concerné. La simulation et le mesurage des rayonnements électromagnétiques ne sont pas suffisamment exacts pour déterminer quantitativement les effets. Les méthodes d'essai définies dans le présent document fondamental ont été principalement mises au point pour obtenir une bonne reproductibilité de la configuration des essais et une bonne répétabilité des résultats d’essai sur différentes installations d'essai.
Le présent document présente une méthode d'essai indépendante. Il n'est pas possible d'utiliser d'autres méthodes d'essai comme variantes pour se conformer au présent document. Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition parue en 2006, l'Amendement 1:2007 et l'Amendement 2:2010. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente.
- description des essais qui utilisent des signaux d’essai multiples;
- ajout d’informations supplémentaires sur l’EUT et la disposition des câbles;
- la limitation en matière de fréquences supérieures a été supprimée pour tenir compte des nouveaux services;
- la caractérisation du champ ainsi que la vérification de la linéarité de l’amplificateur de puissance de la chaîne d'immunité sont spécifiées.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) –
Part 4-3: Testing and measurement techniques –
Radiated, radio-frequency electromagnetic field immunity test
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
ri
