Product Standards


EMC Product Standards

EMC Product Standards look at both emissions and immunity in the light of every kind of disturbance relevant to the product in its given environment.

EMC Product Standards define specific EM requirements, test procedures and limits dedicated to particular products, systems or installations for which specific conditions must be considered.

Just like most products, virtually all electrotechnical equipment must be tested. More often than not, whether for safety, functional, importability or other reasons, electrotechnical products in particular must also be assessed and certified as conforming to certain Standards.

EN 300 329

EN 300 329 Radio Equipment and Systems (RES); ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) Equipment This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) covers the assessment of radio communication and ancillary equipment in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC). This ETS specifies the minimum performance and the methods of measurements of EMC on Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) radio and ancillary equipment. This ETS specifies the applicable EMC tests, the limits, and the performance criteria for digital radio equipment as described in ETS 300 175-2 [4] and I-ETS 300 176 [5], operating in the frequency range 1880 to 1900 MHz, and for the associated ancillary equipment. The environment classification used in this ETS refers to the environment classification used in the Generic Standards EN 50081-1 [1] and EN 50082-1 [2], except the vehicular environment class which refers to ISO 7637 [6], [7]. The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus at residential, commercial, light industrial and vehicular environments. The levels, however, do not cover extreme cases which may occur in any location but with a low probability of occurrence. This ETS may not cover those cases where a potential source of interference, which is producing individually repeated transient phenomena, or a continuous phenomena, is permanently present, e.g. a radar or broadcast site in the near vicinity. In such a case it may be necessary to use special protection applied to either the source of interference, or the interfered part, or both. Compliance of radio equipment to the requirements of this ETS does not signify compliance to any requirement related to the use of the equipment (i.e. licensing requirements). Compliance to this ETS does not signify compliance to any safety requirements. However, it is the responsibility of the assessor of the equipment that any observation regarding the equipment becoming dangerous or unsafe as a result of the application of the tests of this ETS, should be recorded in the test report.

IEC 61730-1

IEC 61730-1 Photovoltaic (PV) Module Safety Qualification - Part 1: Requirements for Construction IEC 61730 specifies and describes the fundamental construction requirements for photovoltaic (PV) modules in order to provide safe electrical and mechanical operation. Specific topics are provided to assess the prevention of electrical shock, fire hazards, and personal injury due to mechanical and environmental stresses. This part of IEC 61730 pertains to the particular requirements of construction. IEC 61730-2 defines the requirements for testing. This International Standard series lays down IEC requirements of terrestrial photovoltaic modules suitable for long-term operation in open-air climates. This standard is intended to apply to all terrestrial flat plate module materials such as crystalline silicon module types as well as thin-film modules. PV modules covered by this standard are limited to a maximum DC system voltage of 1500 V. This International Standard defines the basic requirements for various applications of PV modules, but it cannot be considered to encompass all national or regional codes. Specific requirements, e.g. for building, marine and vehicle applications, are not covered. This International Standard does not address specific requirements for products that combine a PV module with power conversion equipment, monitoring or control electronics, such as integrated inverters, converters or output disabling functions. This International Standard is designed to coordinate with the test sequences in the IEC 61215 series, so that a single set of samples may be used to perform both the safety and qualification of a photovoltaic module design. The object of this International Standard is to define the requirements for the construction of photovoltaic modules with respect to safety. Preview Standard

IEC 61730-2

IEC 61730-2 Photovoltaic (PV) Module Safety Qualification - Part 2: Requirements For Testing The scope of IEC 61730-1 is also applicable to this part of IEC 61730. While IEC 61730-1 outlines the requirements of construction, this part of the standard lists the tests a PV module is required to fulfill for safety qualification. IEC 61730-2 is applied for safety qualification only in conjunction with IEC 61730-1. The sequence of tests required in this standard may not test for all possible safety aspects associated with the use of PV modules in all possible applications. This standard utilizes the best sequence of tests available at the time of its writing. There are some issues - such as the potential danger of electric shock posed by a broken PV module in a high voltage system - that should be addressed by the system design, location, restrictions on access and maintenance procedures. The objective of this standard is to provide the testing sequence intended to verify the safety of PV modules whose construction has been assessed by IEC 61730-1. The test sequence and pass criteria are designed to detect the potential breakdown of internal and external components of PV modules that would result in fire, electric shock, and/or personal injury. The standard defines the basic safety test requirements and additional tests that are a function of the PV module end-use applications. Test categories include general inspection, electrical shock hazard, fire hazard, mechanical stress, and environmental stress. Preview Standard

prEN 50498

prEN 50498 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) - Product Family Standard for Electronic Devices which are subsequently installed in Vehicles This European Standard specifies limits and methods of measurement for disturbance emissions and immunity characteristics of aftermarket equipment (ESAs) which are referenced by Automotive EMC Directive 2004/104/EC, Annex I, 3.2.9, and which are not related to immunity-related functions of vehicles as defined in Automotive EMC Directive 2004/104/EC, Annex I, 2.1.12. Any equipment (or part of an ESA) which has a primary function of radio transmission and/or reception according to the ITU Radio Regulations are excluded from the scope of this publication. This European Standard covers the frequency range 9 kHz to 400 GHz. To date, it specifies limits and methods of measurement for conducted and radiated disturbances from ESAs in the frequency range 30 MHz to 1 GHz and immunity requirements for conducted transients. The assessment of an ESA needs to be performed only in the frequency ranges where limits are defined. The emission requirements have been selected so as to ensure that disturbances generated by ESAs operating normally do not exceed a level that could prevent the vehicle or apparatus external to the vehicle from operating as intended. Fault conditions are not taken into account. Not all disturbance phenomena have been included for testing purposes in this standard but only those considered as relevant for the equipment covered by this standard. As ESAs covered by this standard are not related to immunity-related function, only the following electromagnetic disturbance phenomena are evaluated:

  • broadband and narrowband radiated electromagnetic disturbances
  • conducted transient disturbances
  • conducted transient immunity
Accessories that are not connected directly to the vehicle harness, but only via a special interface are normally excluded from vehicular EMC requirements. Preview Standard
