BS EN 61000-6-1:2007 - Start year: 2007
Location: Europe - United Kingdom

Description:

BS EN 61000-6-1 is intended for use by all manufacturers, designers and test houses associated with electrical and electronic equipment for use in residential, commercial and light-industrial  environments.

Specific technical changes have been introduced to Tables 1 to 4. The frequency range for tests according to BS EN 61000-4-3 has been extended above 1 GHz according to technologies used in this frequency area. The use of TEM waveguide testing according to BS EN 61000-4-20 has been introduced for certain products and the testing requirements according to BS EN 61000-4-11 have been amended significantly

Notes:

Replaces BS EN 61000-6-1:2001 which remains current

This part of BS EN 61000 for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) immunity requirements applies to electrical and electronic apparatus intended for use in residential, commercial and light-industrial environments. Immunity requirements in the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz are covered. No tests need to be performed at frequencies where no requirements are specified.

This generic EMC immunity standard is applicable if no relevant dedicated product or product-family EMC immunity standard exists.

BS EN 61000-6-1:2001 - Start year: 2001 Withdrawn 2009
Location: Europe - United Kingdom

Description:

This part of EN 61000-6 for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) immunity requirements applies to electrical and electronic apparatus intended for use in residential, commercial and light-industrial environments for which no dedicated product or product-family immunity standard exists. Immunity requirements in the frequency range up to 400 GHz are covered.

This European Standard applies to apparatus directly connected to a low-voltage public mains network or connected to a DC source interfaced between the apparatus and the low-voltage public mains network. This standard applies also to battery operated apparatus or apparatus powered by a non-public, but non industrial, low voltage power distribution system.

This standard defines the immunity test requirements for apparatus in relation to continuous and transient, conducted and radiated disturbances including electrostatic discharges. These test requirements represent essential electromagnetic compatibility immunity requirements. The immunity requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of immunity for apparatus at residential, commercial and light-industrial locations. The level does not cover extreme cases occurring at any location but with an extremely low probability of occurrence.
