standards

This article summarizes the current state of affairs of standards documents sponsored by the IEEE EMC Society, including areas where there is active development in progress, as well as information on those standards that are currently stable and those that are currently inactive. We’ll also advise readers on how to become more directly involved in the IEEE EMC standards development efforts.

The international standard for electromagnetic emissions from industrial, scientific, and medical equipment has evolved dramatically since 1975. From basic measurements at 100 meters to today's sophisticated testing protocols covering robots and wireless devices, CISPR 11's journey reflects our increasingly complex technological landscape.

Measuring E-fields in the far field works for the majority of consumer and military hardware developed in the 20th and early 21st centuries. But with EVs becoming more common (for aircraft as well as terrestrial cars), measuring the H-field in the near field is more appropriate.

Navigating the complex world of ESD testing standards? This blog examines how discharge parameters vary across standards, from aerospace's CS118 to automotive's ISO 10605. Discover how resistance and capacitance values affect test severity and learn when to apply custom parameters for your specific threat environment.

Discover how different standards require various approaches to bonding equipment under test to ground planes. Learn the critical differences between MIL-STD-461, CISPR 25, and ANSI C63.4 that could impact your compliance testing results and save you costly retesting.

The IEEE has partnered with a major testing and standards development organization to create a new standard to address the securing of biomedical devices and health-related data.

This article describes the parameters that can be used to tailor your application of MIL-STD-461 RE102, such as frequency ranges, designing notches, and relaxing limits.

The charged device model spark itself is not just resistive; it often has extra inductance or L-C energy storage. These plus hardware properties affect the CDM waveform and affect methods to correlate alternate CDM test methods to standard JEDEC CDM.

Standards and requirements for hardware testing must be carefully tailored rather than rigidly applied. A thorough understanding of source documents, appendices, parent standards, and similar projects helps ensure testing is efficient and relevant for specific hardware applications, preventing delays and oversights.

Learn about China's new mandatory safety requirements for lithium-ion batteries in portable electronics. This comprehensive guide explores the GB 31241-2022 standard's essential test procedures, certification requirements, and key changes that manufacturers must implement for market compliance.
