Overview

SIST EN 55016-1-3:2007/A2:2020 is a Slovenian standard developed by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST), aligned with the European Standard EN 55016-1-3:2006/A2:2020. This standard is part of the wider series on radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods. Specifically, Part 1-3 of the standard covers requirements for ancillary equipment used in the measurement of radio disturbance (electromagnetic disturbances) and immunity, focusing particularly on the determination of disturbance power.

The standard provides guidance on apparatus, methods, and calibration techniques for measuring the disturbance power emitted by electrical and electronic equipment. These procedures support consistent and accurate electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) assessments, promoting reliable performance in an increasingly interconnected electronic environment.

Key Topics

• Ancillary Equipment for EMC Measurement: Defines performance and calibration requirements for accessory devices, such as absorbing clamps, used in radio disturbance and immunity measurement setups.
• Disturbance Power Measurement: Clarifies the methods for determining the disturbance power emitted by a device under test, supporting EMC compliance.
• Measurement Uncertainty: Addresses the documentation and estimation of measurement uncertainty in apparatus calibration, specifically referencing guidance from CISPR TR 16-4-1 for standardized EMC tests.
• Calibration Process Requirements: Details both original and jig calibration methods for absorbing clamps, listing sources of uncertainty and their impact on calibration reliability.
• Documentation and Compliance: Guides test laboratories on documenting uncertainty and following proper calibration procedures in accordance with international EMC standards.

Applications

Implementing SIST EN 55016-1-3:2007/A2:2020 is crucial across several sectors where controlling electromagnetic interference is necessary to ensure device reliability and regulatory compliance. Key application areas include:

• Product Compliance Testing: Laboratories use requirements from this standard when testing electrical and electronic equipment for EMC certification, mandated in many global markets.
• Quality Assurance: Manufacturers and test houses apply these calibration and measurement procedures to maintain the precision and repeatability of EMC test results.
• Accreditation and Audits: Accreditation bodies refer to this standard when evaluating laboratories’ competence in performing standardized EMC tests.
• Test Equipment Manufacturing: Designers and manufacturers of EMC test systems and ancillary equipment employ the defined requirements to ensure their products meet market and regulatory expectations.
• Industry Sectors: The standard is widely applicable to automotive, telecommunications, medical, industrial, and consumer electronics sectors where emission limits and immunity levels are regulated.

Related Standards

For consistent implementation and up-to-date technical practices, the following related standards and technical reports are also important:

• EN 55016-1-1: Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus - Measuring apparatus
• EN 55016-1-2: Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus - Ancillary equipment - Conducted disturbances
• CISPR 16-1-3: International reference for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus - Ancillary equipment - Disturbance power
• CISPR TR 16-4-1:2009: Technical report on uncertainties, statistics, and limit modelling in standardized EMC tests
• EN 55016-4-2: Specification for uncertainty in EMC measurements (for historical reference)

Using SIST EN 55016-1-3:2007/A2:2020 together with these standards ensures comprehensive and harmonized approaches to EMC testing, calibration, and compliance verification. This facilitates reliable EMC test results, reduces market barriers, and supports the interoperability of electronic devices in diverse operational environments.
