Electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use - EMC requirements
Executive summary
Electromagnetic compatibility requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use.
Abstract
This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for immunity and emissions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for electrical equipment, operating from a supply of less than 1 000 V a.c. or 1 500 V d.c. or from the circuit being measured, intended for professional, industrial-process and educational use, including equipment and computing devices for:
- measurement and test;
- control;
- laboratory use;
- accessories intended for use with the above (such as sample handling equipment), intended to be used in industrial and non-industrial locations.
Computing devices and assemblies and similar equipment within the scope of information technology equipment (ITE) and conforming to applicable ITE EMC standards can be used without additional testing.
The following equipment is covered in this standard:
a) electrical measurement and test equipment;
b) electrical control equipment; and
c) electrical laboratory equipment.
This standard is applicable to
- equipment for use in industrial locations;
- equipment for use in laboratories or test and measurement areas with a controlled electromagnetic environment;
- test and measurement equipment which is portable and powered by battery or from the circuit being measured.
This equipment may also be used in areas other than laboratories.
