Hello all, Very interesting questions.
While at the C63 meeting one of the attendees asked how we measure the acoustic noise from speakers when testing radiated and conducted Immunity. We do not test PC's with speakers so no requirement. Telephone Terminal Equipment has a similar requirement. What equipment is generally used to test the acoustic noise levels specified in CISPR 24 Annex A while performing Radiated and conducted immunity? Help, Ken Hall -----Original Message----- From: Geoff Lister [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2001 2:59 AM To: 'Jon Jones' Cc: Emc-Pstc Subject: RE: Immunity testing of Headset Jon, EN55024 uses the IEC 61000-4-x series to define the test set-up. I had a quick look at 61000-4-6 and could only find a reference to a handset. This, in turn refers to IEC CISPR 16-1 for the details of the artificial hand. The telephony sections of EN55024 are based on a standard POTS or ISDN audio telephone with a handset. In the real world, the effects of a human holding a handset and wearing a headset would be similar. Most handsets have a similar shape, and are catered for by CISPR 16. The answer to your question may be buried deep in one of the normative references. For EN55024 Annex A, you will need to measure the sound pressure level at the earphone, as you would with a normal handset. If you placed part of the headset in the artificial hand, you would be showing due diligence in meeting the spirit, if not the letter, of the test set-up. My opinion, not necessarily that of my employer.

Does anyone know of if there is a similar requirement when testing a Headset ?
