CISPR 15

« Back to Glossary Index

CISPR 15:2013 applies to the emission (radiated and conducted) of radio frequency disturbances from:

  • All lighting equipment with a primary function of generating and/or distributing light intended for illumination purposes, and intended either for connection to the low voltage electricity supply or for battery operation;

  • The lighting part of multi-function equipment where one of the primary functions of this is illumination;

  • Independent auxiliaries exclusively for use with lighting equipment;

  • UV and IR radiation equipment;

  • Neon advertising signs;

  • Street/flood lighting intended for outdoor use;

  • Transport lighting (installed in buses and trains).

    Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of electronic equipment to function properly without interference from noise sources and without causing disturbances to other electronic equipment. This article will help the reader understand the modes of electrical noise propagation, how fields interact, and the methods of testing for EMC, helping to provide the basis for designing low-emissions, low-susceptibility electronic equipment.

    1312 F1 coverFFT-based EMI test receivers can be used for EMI compliance measurements in accordance with Amendment 1 to 3rd Edition of CISPR 16-1-1 if this standard is referenced in the product standard. The use is motivated by reducing the scan time by several orders of magnitude and to get more insight due to the possibility of applying longer measurement times and enhanced measurement functions like spectrum in persistence mode. For precise and reproducible measurements the use of preselection filters is highly recommended.
