Kurt, There are unfortunately no short cuts with regard to acquiring the information contained in EN related standards. If your company is serious about understanding the requirements they need to purchase not only EN55024 but all the referenced standards as well. But tell them to look on the bright side, the cost of the standards will pale by comparison to the cost of test equipment, ongoing calibration, and actually getting your product in compliance.

Specifically what are the various voltages, currents, etc. used for each test. I do not have a copy of the standard and my company does not want to purchase it at this time. For instance I know that one of the tests involves zapping the EUT with an ESD charge, but I don't know the voltages/currents involved. I also know that the input power is subjected to various dips and drops, but again I don't know the specifics. If anyone in the group could come up with all of the various test voltages, currents, etc. for all of the EN 55024 tests it would be very much appreciated. A web site with the same information would also be great. If it would take too much research to come up with this information (as I suspect), let me know and maybe I can justify our purchase of the standard.
