Ken, I don't recall your original query but it sounds like you were asking about BCI testing requirements. I can answer for medical equipment. The 2nd ED of 60601-1-2 requires BCI testing of all patient connected cables.

I am aware that the US FDA imposes a BCI type requirement like MIL-STD-461 CS114. Of course that is for medical equipment. RTCA/DO-160 imposes a very similar BCI requirement on commercial avionics. SAE ARP 1972 included BCI testing but was just a recommended practice, I don't know of any entity that actually levied it as a requirement. The automotive world in this country at least has adopted BCI techniques as well. There were in-house specs (I recall seeing a GM spec) and a better version has been adopted as an SAE J-type requirement industry-wide. That's about all I can think of off the top of my head. ---------- >From: [email protected] >To: "'EMC-PSTC'" <[email protected]> >Subject: noise immunity on mains powered equipment >Date: Wed, Jan 23, 2002, 11:06 AM > > > Hello, > > Has any-one ever heard about a standard (non-military) that describes noise > immunity of mains powered equipment. > Testing seems to be done by the current bulk injection method. the standard > is not IEC 61000-4-6. > Regards, > Kris Carpentier > > > ------------------------------------------- > This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety > Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list. > > Visit our web site at: http://www.ewh.ieee.org/soc/emcs/pstc/ > > To cancel your subscription, send mail to: > [email protected] > with the single line: > unsubscribe emc-pstc > > For help, send mail to the list administrators: > Michael Garretson: [email protected] > Dave Heald [email protected] > > For policy questions, send mail to: > Richard Nute: [email protected] > Jim Bacher: [email protected] > > All emc-pstc postings are archived and searchable on the web at: > No longer online until our new server is brought online and the old > messages are imported into the new server. > ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
