This kit includes the BS EN 55011:2016+A2:2021 as well as Expert commentary.
What is BS EN 55011:2016+A2:2021 about?
This European standard specifies requirements to protect equipment sensitive to radio frequency interference such as radio and TV receivers, microwave ovens, scientific instrumentation. BS EN 55011:2016+A2:2021 includes amendments giving further information on type test requirements for SPCs, and improved repeatability for measurements in the frequency range 1-18 GHz.
Who is BS EN 55011:2016+A2:2021 for?
- Manufacturers and importers of industrial, scientific and medical electrical equipment
- Design engineers
- Procurement engineers
- Product testers
- Noise inspectors
- Regulatory bodies
- Test laboratories
Why should you use BS EN 55011:2016+A2:2021?
The standard covers industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) electrical equipment operating in the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz and to domestic and similar appliances, designed to generate and /or use local radio frequency energy.
It specifies emission requirements related to radio disturbances in the frequency range of 9 kHz to 400 GHz, and 9 kHz to 18 GHz for ISM radio-frequency applications. The emission requirements are designed to protect equipment in these environments which is sensitive to radio frequency interference (e.g. radio or TV receivers, scientific instrumentation, etc.) Requirements for ISM RF lighting equipment and UV irradiators operating at frequencies within the ISM frequency bands are also covered.
This amendment includes further information for full inclusion of type test requirements for semiconductor power converters (SPC) and improves repeatability for measurements for group 2 equipment in the frequency range 1-18 GHz, thus avoiding expensive retesting. As such, the standard will remain relevant as electronic products meet the demands of a smart energy environment.
BS EN 55011:2016+A2:2021 contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goal 9 on industry, innovation and infrastructure because it contributes to building resilient infrastructure.
What’s new about BS EN 55011:2016+A2:2021?
This is the second amendment to the 2016 standard. The major changes in BS EN 55011:2016+A2:2021 are:
- It includes further information for full inclusion of type test requirements for semiconductor power converters (SPC). These requirements apply only to i) power conversion equipment intended for assembly into photovoltaic power generating systems, such as grid connected power converters (GCPCs) and d.c. to d.c. converters, and ii) GCPCs intended for assembly into energy storage systems
- Improvement of repeatability for measurements for group 2 equipment in the frequency range 1-18 GHz, thus avoiding retesting
