EMC Standards

EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards define terms, rules and test methods for EMC. They specify limits and minimum test levels for electronic products which are under the scope of relevant EMC standard.

Below illustration shows the EMC standards in general:

EMC testing standards are published by international, regional or national organizations.

1. International EMC standard Organizations 🌍

• International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
  • Committees within IEC for Basic and Generic EMC Standards
    • Technical Committee 77, Electromagnetic Compatibility (TC 77)
    • International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR)
  • Committees within IEC for ​Product and Product Family EMC Standards
    • Plenty of committees
  • Liaison partners of IEC
    • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
    • ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T)
    • International Council on Large Electric Systems (CIGRE)
