Overview

IEC 60050-161 Amendment 3 (SIST IEC 60050-161:1999/A3:2017) is a crucial update to the International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) focusing on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this amendment refines terminology related to EMC, ensuring clarity and uniform understanding within the global electrical engineering community. By updating definitions and terms between May 2013 and January 2014, this document supports standardization in electromagnetic compatibility applications and research.

Key Topics

• Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Terminology: The amendment updates specific vocabulary entries, such as the term "reference-earth plane," reinforcing the precise language used in electrical engineering.
• Reference-Earth Plane: Defined as a flat conductive surface used as a common potential reference point, essential for EMC measurements and design.
• Multilingual Definitions: The amendment provides definitions in multiple languages including English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Slovenian, and Swedish to support international harmonization.
• Standard Terminology Maintenance: This amendment is based on approved change requests by IEC Technical Committee 1 (Terminology), facilitating ongoing vocab consistency.
• Integration with Electropedia: The changes are incorporated into the IEC’s online Electropedia platform, making updated terminology easily accessible to professionals.

Applications

• EMC Design and Testing: Precise definitions help engineers design products that meet EMC requirements, reducing interference and ensuring device compatibility.
• Standardized Communication: Harmonized vocabulary promotes clear, unambiguous communication among international stakeholders, including manufacturers, testers, and regulators.
• Educational Resources: Updated terms serve as a reliable reference for academic programs and training materials in electrical engineering and EMC fields.
• Regulatory and Compliance Documentation: Clear terminology supports drafting of standards, regulations, and compliance documentation globally, facilitating market access and certification processes.
• Technical Research: Enables researchers to describe electromagnetic compatibility phenomena consistently, fostering improved innovation and collaboration.

Related Standards

• IEC 60050 International Electrotechnical Vocabulary: The broader vocabulary series defining electrical and electronic terms across various specialties.
• IEC 61000 Series - Electromagnetic Compatibility Standards: Standards for testing and measurement techniques related to EMC performance.
• ISO/IEC Directives: Guidelines governing terminology and documentation used in international standards development.
• Regional EMC Standards (e.g., CISPR, FCC Rules): National and regional EMC compliance requirements that benefit from harmonized terminology.

By aligning terminology through IEC 60050-161 Amendment 3, industry stakeholders ensure consistent understanding and implementation of EMC principles, essential for reliable, interference-free electrical and electronic equipment worldwide.
