CISPR TR 18-1:2017 is available as CISPR TR 18-1:2017 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
CISPR TR 18-1:2017 which is a Technical Report, applies to radio noise from overhead power lines, associated equipment, and high-voltage equipment which may cause interference to radio reception. The scope of this document includes the causes, measurement and effects of radio interference, design aspects in relation to this interference, methods and examples for establishing limits and prediction of tolerable levels of interference from high voltage overhead power lines and associated equipment, to the reception of radio signals and services. The frequency range covered is 0,15 MHz to 3 GHz. Radio frequency interference caused by the pantograph of overhead railway traction systems is not considered in this document. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- updated description of the RF characteristics of spark discharges which might contain spectral radio noise components up to the GHz frequency range;
- addition of state of the art in HVDC converter technology
Keywords: radio noise from overhead power lines and high-voltage equipment

CISPR TR 18-3:2017 is available as CISPR TR 18-3:2017 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
CISPR TR 18-3:2017 which is a technical report, applies to radio noise from overhead power lines and high-voltage equipment which may cause interference to radio reception, excluding the fields from power line carrier signals. The frequency range covered is 0,15 MHz to 3 GHz. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- localisation system of spark discharges which might contain frequency components up to 3 GHz;
- information regarding equations for predetermination of the radio noise level from HVDC overhead power lines.
Keywords: radio noise from overhead power lines and high-voltage equipment

CISPR TR 18-2:2017 est disponible sous forme de CISPR TR 18-2:2017 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.

CISPR 11:2015 is available as CISPR 11:2015 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
CISPR 11:2015 applies to industrial, scientific and medical electrical equipment operating in the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz and to domestic and similar appliances designed to generate and/or use locally radio-frequency energy. This standard covers emission requirements related to radio-frequency (RF) disturbances in the frequency range of 9 kHz to 400 GHz. Measurements need only be performed in frequency ranges where limits are specified in Clause 6. For ISM RF applications in the meaning of the definition found in the ITU Radio Regulations (see Definition 3.13), this standard covers emission requirements related to radio-frequency disturbances in the frequency range of 9 kHz to 18 GHz. Requirements for ISM RF lighting equipment and UV irradiators operating at frequencies within the ISM frequency bands defined by the ITU Radio Regulations are contained in this standard. Equipment covered by other CISPR product and product family emission standards are excluded from the scope of this standard. This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2009 and its Amendment 1 published in 2010. It constitutes a technical revision. It introduces and permits type testing on components of power electronic equipment, systems and installations. Its emission limits apply now to low voltage (LV) a.c. and d.c. power ports, irrespective of the direction of power transmission. Several limits were adapted to the practical test conditions found at test sites. They are also applicable now to power electronic ISM RF equipment used for wireless power transfer (WPT), for instant power supply and charging purposes. The limits in the range 1 GHz to 18 GHz apply now to CW-type disturbances and to fluctuating disturbances in a similar, uniform and technology-neutral way. For these measurements, two alternative methods of measurement are available, the traditional log-AV method and the new APD method. It has the status of a Product Family EMC standard in accordance with IEC Guide 107, Electromagnetic compatibility - Guide to the drafting of electromagnetic compatibility publications (2014).

Has the status of a technical report, and gives information on the various types of disturbances that can be expected on public power supply systems. The following disturbance phenomena are considered: - harmonics - inter-harmonics - voltage fluctuations - voltage dips and short supply interruptions - voltage unbalance - mains signalling - power frequency variation - d.c. components.

Describes the electromagnetic environment. Intended as a basis to achieve electromagnetic compatibility in system and equipment design, using test standards and mitigation methods which satisfactorily take account of undesirable effects. The report is primarily concerned with characteristics and levels of electromagnetic fields and of non-network-frequency-related conducted emissions from unintentional sources of interference.

This technical report provides the guidelines for emission levels within the bands designated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) application.
