Gert Gremmen Sent: woensdag 17 juni 1998 19:59 To: R. Heller; [email protected] Subject: RE: Basic EMC Standards I make a difference in three type of standards to be applicable for your products 1. Product family standards describing compliance limits, test conditions and product specific compliance criteria . ( FI EN 55022 or EN 60730 or EN 55013) ( all above 9 kHz) 2. Generic standards are the same but applicable if no product family standard exist. (above 9 kHz) ( EN 50081-1/2 and EN 50082-1/2) 3. Basic standards , they are used to describe measurements methods and suggest limits (classes) values to be used in 1 or 2. 4. "Generic/BASIC Standards" for mains related topics ( < 9 kHz) ( FI EN 61000-2-2 and EN 61000-3-3) Categories 1,2 and 3 are candidates to be harmonized ( published in the official Journal of EC) as they are limits defining standards referring to category 3 standards, which by themselves are not to be harmonized. (they are published however ( by CENELEC) but not in the legal sense of OJ publication) For CE-marking one should select 2 standards from 1 or 2 for emission and immunity. In addition one of category 4 should be considered. The newer Basic standards can be recognized easy by the 4 in the standards number (FI EN 61000-4-6). Some harmonized standards such as EN 55022 also have a BASIC function, in the sense that they are referred to the generic standards, but for use of the method only, not the limits. Any additional questions please reply to this group as a whole. Gert Gremmen Ing.

The 61000-4 series are widely used but are not in the OJ. What gives? RCIC - http://www.rcic.com Regulatory Compliance Information Center
