scope:

This standard is applicable to equipment for resistance welding and allied processes intended for use in industrial and light industrial environments which are connected to mains supplies with rated voltages up to 1 000 V a.c. rms. This standard does not define safety requirements. Resistance welding equipment type tested in accordance with, and which has met the requirements of this standard, shall be deemed to be in compliance for all applications. The frequency range covered is from 0 Hz to 400 GHz. This product EMC standard for resistance welding equipment takes precedence over all aspects of the generic standards and no additional EMC tests are required or necessary. Resistance welding equipment are classified as class A and class B equipment. The objective of this standard is to specify: a) test methods to be used in conjunction with EN 55011:1998 and its amendments A1:1999 and A2:2002 to determine electromagnetic emission; b) relevant standards for harmonic current emission, voltage fluctuations and flicker.
