BS EN 61000-6-4:2001

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 6-4: Generic standards - Emission standard for industrial environments

Electromagnetic emission requirements for electrical and electronic apparatus in industrial environments.

This European Standard for emission requirements applies to electrical and electronic apparatus intended for use in industrial environments, for which no dedicated product or product-family emission standard exists. Apparatus designed to radiate electromagnetic energy for radio communication purposes is excluded from this standard.

The objective of this standard is to define limits and test methods for apparatus in relation to electromagnetic emissions which may cause interference in other apparatus.

Disturbances in the frequency range up to 400 GHz are covered. Fault conditions of apparatus are not taken into account.

The environments encompassed by this standard are industrial, both indoor and outdoor. Apparatus covered by this standard is not intended for connection to a public mains network but is intended to be connected to a power network supplied from a high or medium-voltage transformer dedicated for the supply of an installation feeding manufacturing or similar plant.

This European Standard supersedes BS EN 50081-2:1994 which is withdrawn.
