    Definition
  • Applies to television broadcast receivers, sound broadcast receivers and associated equipment intended for use in the residential, commercial and light industrial environment. Describes the methods of measurement and specified limits applicable to sound and television receivers and to(...)
  • Applies to information technology equipment (ITE). Procedures are given for the measurement of the levels of spurious signals generated by the ITE and limits are specified for the frequency range 9 kHz to 400 GHz for both class A and class B equipment.
  • Defines the immunity test requirements for information technology equipment (ITE, as defined in CISPR 22) in relation to continuous and transient, conducted and radiated disturbances, including electrostatic discharges (ESD). Procedures are defined for the measurement of ITE and limits are(...)
  • Specifies minimum performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results for general requirements which can be applied to those characteristics common to the following equipment: shipborne radio equipment, shipborne navigational equipment, and, for EMC only, all other(...)
  • Ensures electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of devices providing residual current protection, for rated voltages not exceeding 440 V a.c., intended principally for protection of persons against shock hazards.
  • Electromagnetic immunity requirements applies to lighting equipment which is within the scope of IEC Technical Committee 34, such as lamps, auxiliaries and luminaires, intended either for connecting to a low voltage electricity supply or for battery operation.
  • Applies to residual current monitors having rated voltages not exceeding 440 V a.c. and rated currents not exceeding 125 A for household and similar purposes.
  • This standard specifies requirements and tests for type B RCDs. Requirements and tests given in this standard are in addition to the requirements of type A residual current devices. Type B RCCBs and Type B RCBOs are able to provide protection in case of alternating residual sinusoidal currents(...)
  • Specifies test methods and acceptance criteria for evaluating the electromagnetic compatibility of tractors and all kinds of mobile (including hand-held) agricultural machinery, forestry machinery, landscaping and gardening machinery.
  • The process in which energy is captured from a system's environment and converted into usable electric power.
  • the process of adjusting the balance between frequency components within an electronic signal
  • Any electronic assembly under test. Also known as Device Under Test (DUT).
  • Any electronic assembly under test. Also known as Device Under Test (DUT).
  • A measure used to quantify the performance of a digital radio transmitter or receiver. The error vector magnitude is equal to the ratio of the power of the error vector to the root mean square (RMS) power of the reference.
  • A measure used to quantify the performance of a digital radio transmitter or receiver. The error vector magnitude is equal to the ratio of the power of the error vector to the root mean square (RMS) power of the reference.
  • Provides guidance in understanding the triboelectric phenomenon and relates current information and experience regarding tribocharge testing as used in static control for electronics. 
  • This Advisory document defines the minimum requirements for a basic ESD protective workstation used in ESD sensitive areas. It provides a test method for evaluating and monitoring workstations. It defines workstations as having the following components: support structure, static dissipative(...)
  • A family of computer networking technologies for local area networks (LANs).
  • Extremely Low Frequency usually refers to magnetic fields at 0.5 to 100 Hertz.
  • Extremely Low Frequency usually refers to magnetic fields at 0.5 to 100 Hertz.
