cables installed in gas insulated substations (GIS) and in some cases also air insulated
substations (AIS) or in any installation due to high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP)
phenomena.
The object of this document is to establish a common and reproducible reference for
evaluating the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to damped
oscillatory waves on supply, signal, control and earth ports. The test method documented in

For emission requirements applies to electrical and electronic equipment intended for use within the environment existing at industrial (see 3.1.12) locations. This document does not apply to equipment that fall within the scope of IEC 61000-6-3. The environments encompassed by this document cover both indoor and outdoor locations. Emission requirements in the frequency range 9 kHz to 400 GHz are covered in this document and have been selected to provide an adequate level of protection of radio reception in the defined electromagnetic environment. No measurement needs to be performed at frequencies where no requirement is specified. These requirements are considered essential to provide an adequate level of protection to radio services. Not all disturbance phenomena have been included for testing purposes but only those considered relevant for the equipment intended to operate within the environments included within this document. Requirements are specified for each port considered. This generic EMC emission standard is to be used where no applicable product or productfamily EMC emission standard is available.

This part of CISPR 16 specifies the methods of measurement of radiated disturbance
phenomena in the frequency range of 9 kHz to 18 GHz. The aspects of measurement
uncertainty are specified in CISPR 16-4-1 and CISPR 16-4-2.
NOTE In accordance with IEC Guide 107 [13]1, CISPR 16-2-3 is a basic EMC publication for use by product
committees of the IEC. As stated in Guide 107, product committees are responsible for determining the

committees in the evaluation of the value of particular EMC tests for specific products.

This standard applies to the emission (radiated and conducted) of radiofrequency disturbances from: - lighting equipment (3.3.16); - the lighting part of multi-function equipment where this lighting part is a primary function;.- UV and IR radiation equipment for residential and non-industrial applications; - advertising signs; - decorative lighting; - emergency signs. Excluded from the scope of this document are: - components or modules intended to be built into lighting equipment and which are not user-replaceable; - lighting equipment operating in the ISM frequency bands (as defined in Resolution 63 (1979) of the ITU Radio Regulation); - lighting equipment for aircraft and airfield facilities (runways, service facilities, platforms); - video signs; - installations; - equipment for which the electromagnetic compatibility requirements in the radio-frequency range are explicitly formulated in other CISPR standards, even if they incorporate a builtin lighting function. The frequency range covered is 9 kHz to 400 GHz. No measurements need to be performed at frequencies where no limits are specified in this document. Multi-function equipment which is subjected simultaneously to different clauses of this document and/or other standards need to meet the provisions of each clause/standard with the relevant functions in operation. For equipment outside the scope of this document and which includes lighting as a secondary function, there is no need to separately assess the lighting function against this document, provided that the lighting function was operative during the assessment in accordance with the applicable standard.

This part of IEC 61000 is concerned with the limitation of voltage fluctuations and flicker impressed on the public low-voltage system. It specifies limits of voltage changes which may be produced by an equipment tested under specified conditions and gives guidance on methods of assessment. This part of IEC 61000 is applicable to electrical and electronic equipment having an input current equal to or less than 16 A per phase, intended to be connected to public low-voltage distribution systems of between 220 V and 250 V line to neutral at 50 Hz, and not subject to conditional connection. Equipment which does not comply with the limits of this part of IEC 61000 when tested with the reference impedance Zref of 6.4, and which therefore cannot be declared compliant with this part, may be retested or evaluated to show conformity with IEC 61000-3-11. Part 3-11 is applicable to equipment with rated input current ≤ 75 A per phase and subject to conditional connection. The tests according to this part are type tests. Particular test conditions are given in Annex A and the test circuit is shown in Figure 1.

This standard is concerned with conducted disturbances in the frequency range from 0 kHz to 9 kHz, with an extension up to 148,5 kHz specifically for mains signalling systems. It gives compatibility levels for public low voltage a.c. distribution systems having a nominal voltage up to 420 V, single-phase or 690 V, three-phase and a nominal frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

This part of CISPR 16 specifies the characteristics and performance of equipment for the
measurement of radio disturbance in the frequency range 9 kHz to 18 GHz. In addition,
requirements are provided for specialized equipment for discontinuous disturbance
measurements.

MME will operate as intended in its environment in the frequency range 0 kHz to 400 GHz;
• to specify procedures to ensure the reproducibility of tests and the repeatability of results.
Due to technology convergence of the functions of MME, the performance criteria have been
determined on a function-orientated basis rather than on an equipment-orientated basis.

This part of IEC 61000 specifies immunity requirements for electrical and electronic
equipment when it is exposed to radiated electromagnetic energy from RF transmitters used
in close proximity. It establishes test levels and the required test procedures. The applicable
frequency range is 9 kHz to 6 GHz. Fixed-installation equipment being exposed to portable
transmitting devices, mobile equipment exposed to fixed transmitting devices and mobile
equipment exposed to other mobile transmitting devices are considered.
The object of this document is to establish a common reference for evaluating the immunity
requirements of electrical and electronic equipment that is exposed to radiated, RF
electromagnetic fields from sources at close distances. It is understood that this part of
IEC 61000 does not replace general immunity requirements of electrical and electronic
equipment to radiated electromagnetic energy as given in IEC 61000-4-3 and other parts of
IEC 61000 and that it is only applicable if an equipment or system is exposed to disturbance
sources in close proximity.
In the context of this document, “close proximity” generally refers to a separation distance
between the source and victim equipment of less than or equal to 200 mm for frequencies
greater than 26 MHz and 500 mm for frequencies lower than 26 MHz.
The test methods documented in this part of IEC 61000 describe consistent methods to
assess the immunity of an equipment or system against a defined phenomenon in the
respective frequency range. Product committees would consider the applicability of the test
and then if necessary select the applicable test method depending on the EUT, frequency
range, disturbance source, etc.
NOTE 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.
This document deals with immunity tests related to RF magnetic and electromagnetic fields
from any source used in close proximity to other electrical or electronic equipment or systems.
This document is an independent test method. Other test methods should not be used as
substitutes for claiming compliance with this document.
