Electromagnetic compatibility - Requirements for household appliances, electric tools and similar apparatus - Part 1: Emission
Executive summaryRequirements for radio-frequency disturbance level of household appliances and electric tools.
AbstractThis European Standard applies to the conduction and the radiation of radio frequency disturbances from appliances whose main functions are performed by motors and switching or regulating devices, unless the r.f. energy is intentionally generated or intended for illumination.
The intention of this standard is to establish uniform requirements for the radio disturbance level of the equipment, to fix limits of disturbance, to describe methods of measurement and to standardize operating conditions and interpretation of results.
This standard includes equipment such as: household electrical appliances, electric tools, regulating controls using semiconductor devices, motor-driven electro-medical apparatus, electric/electronic toys, automatic dispensing machines as well as cine or slide projectors. It also includes separate parts of the above mentioned equipment such as motors, switching devices e.g. (power or protective) relays; however no emission requirements apply unless formulated in this standard.
The frequency range covered is 9 kHz 1o 400 GHZ.
The effects of electromagnetic phenomena relating to the safety of apparatus are excluded from this standard.
History and related standardsThis European Standard supersedes BS EN 55014-1:1997 which is withdrawn.
This European Standard includes the following cross references:
IEC 60050(161):1990, IEC 60335-2-76:1997, IEC 60598-2-10:1987,
CISPR 16-1:1993, CISPR 16-2:1996, CISPR 22.
