General Information
Overview
EN 55016-1-3:2006/A2:2020 (CISPR 16-1-3/A2) is an amendment to the European standard that defines requirements for disturbance power ancillary equipment used in radio disturbance and immunity measurements. The amendment updates normative references, clarifies calibration and measurement uncertainty practices, and provides guidance for absorbing clamp calibration across 30 MHz to 1 000 MHz. The standard is intended for test houses, calibration laboratories and EMC engineers responsible for accurate disturbance-power measurement and traceable results.
Key Topics
- Scope and status: Amendment A2 modifies EN 55016-1-3:2006 and was approved by CENELEC in 2020. It incorporates the international CISPR text without modification.
- Normative references: Adds CISPR TR 16-4-1:2009 (Uncertainties, statistics and limit modelling) and removes the previous CISPR 16-4-2 reference.
- Absorbing clamp calibration: Describes two calibration routes (original method and jig calibration) and requires documentation of the measurement instrumentation uncertainty in calibration reports.
- Measurement uncertainty: Requires application of CISPR TR 16-4-1 guidance to calculate expanded uncertainty. For 30 MHz–300 MHz use Table E.1 guidance; for 300 MHz–1 000 MHz use Table E.2 guidance.
- Jig calibration example: Provides an example uncertainty budget for the absorbing-clamp jig calibration method. Example combined standard uncertainty is 1.02 dB and expanded uncertainty (k=2) is 2.04 dB (illustrative values derived from the standard).
- Practical calibration factors: Includes items such as the uncertainty of the JTF, mismatch between receiver and clamp, influence of cable connections, repeatability, and environmental influences. The absorbing clamp must meet minimum decoupling factors (DF and DR) as specified in the standard.
Applications
This amendment has immediate practical value for organizations conducting EMC disturbance-power measurements:
- Ensures traceable calibration of absorbing clamps and ancillary equipment used in EMC tests.
- Improves repeatability and comparability of disturbance-power results between test houses by standardizing uncertainty estimation methods.
- Guides selection and setup of calibration jigs, including recommended CRP (Clamp Reference Point) spacing - CRP specified as 30 mm with deviations between 25 mm and 35 mm producing <0.15 dB change.
- Recommends mitigation measures such as secondary absorption on receiver cables (see Figure B.4) and vertical flanges on jigs (see Figure B.5) to reduce environmental influence.

By aligning calibration practice with CISPR guidance and documenting instrumentation uncertainty, EN 55016-1-3:2006/A2:2020 helps laboratories reduce measurement error and demonstrate compliance in disturbance-power and EMC testing.
