scope:

This part of CISPR 16 is designated a basic standard, which specifies the characteristics and performance of equipment for the measurement of radio disturbance voltages and currents in the frequency range 9 kHz to 1 GHz. NOTE In accordance with IEC Guide 107, CISPR 16-1-2 is a basic EMC standard for use by product committees of the IEC. As stated in Guide 107, product committees are responsible for determining the applicability of the EMC standard. CISPR and its sub-committees are prepared to co-operate with product committees in the evaluation of the value of particular EMC tests for specific products. Specifications for ancillary apparatus are included for artificial mains networks, current and voltage probes, and coupling units for current injection on cables. It is intended that the requirements of this publication shall be complied with are fulfilled at all frequencies and for all levels of radio disturbance voltages and currents within the CISPR indicating range of the measuring equipment. Methods of measurement are covered in Part 2 of CISPR 16, and further information on radio disturbance is given in Part 3 of CISPR 16, while the method of applying measurement uncertainty is provided in Part 4 of CISPR 16.
