scope:

This standard applies to the emission (radiated and conducted) of radio frequency disturbances from and to the immunity to radio frequency disturbances of:

- all lighting equipment with a primary function of generating and/or distributing light intended for illumination purposes, and intended either for connection to the low voltage electricity supply or for battery operation;

- the lighting part of multi-function equipment where one of the primary functions of this is illumination;

- independent auxiliaries exclusively for use with lighting equipment:

- UV and IR radiation appliances;

- neon advertising signs;

- street/flood lighting intended for outdoor use only;

- transport lighting (installed in buses, trains, etc.).

NOTE - Requirements concerning immunity are under consideration.

Excluded from the scope of this standard are:

- apparatus for which the electromagnetic compatibility requirements in the radio frequency range are explicitly formulated in other IEC or CISPR standards.

NOTE - Examples are:

- built-in lighting devices in other equipment, for example scale illumination or neon indicators;

- photocopiers;

- slide projectors.

The frequency range covered is 9 kHz to 400 GHz.

Multi-function equipment

Multi-function equipment which is subjected simultaneously to different clauses of this standard and/or other standards shall meet the provisions of each clause/standard with the relevant functions in operation.

The limits in this standard have been determined on a probabilistic basis to keep the suppression of disturbances within economically reasonable limits while still achieving an adequate radio protection and electromagnetic compatibility. In exceptional cases radio frequency disturbance may occur, in spite of compliance with the limits. In such cases additional provisions may be required.
