The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has released IEC 61000-4-39:2017 for “Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) – Part 4-39: Testing and measurement techniques – Radiated fields in close proximity – Immunity test” and is now available on the IEC webstore.
Description: “IEC 61000-4-39:2017 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.”
*Description from the IEC Website
IEC 61000-4-39 has been included in the Ed. 4.1 of the IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC standard for medical devices) but the test is restricted to only three fixed frequencies, without using the horn antenna but only magnetic field coils.
Is there talk in any of the family standards committees of adding 61000-4-31 or 61000-4-39 to product/family requirements?
