Richard et al,
I think you're asking about IEC-1326, to eventually become EN61326,
which is entitled:
EMC requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control,
and laboratory use
IEC-1326 is in draft (last I know), but relatively stable. It is
expected to contain 4 sections:
General requirements,
Particular requirements for equipment used in industrial locations,
Particular requirements for equipment used in laboratories or test
and measurement areas with a controlled electromagnetic environment,
Particular requirements for portable test and measurement equipment
that is powered by battery or from the circuit being measured.
In its current form IEC-1326 contains the expanded set of basic
immunity standards (IEC 1000-x-x) - plus the CISPR 11/22 emission and
the power harmonics & flicker requirements.
Though it contains all the nasty new immunity tests, it does a good
job of defining the Performance Criteria; something sorely needed.
If the proposed portable section is adopted as drafted, the immunity
severity levels are dramatically reduced and some tests dropped.

I understand that there is a directive concerning measuring instruments?
Does anyone know the directive number? Does anyone know the scope of the
directive?
