ITU-T K.60-2008 Emission levels and test methods for wireline telecommunication networks to minimize electromagnetic disturbance of radio services Study Group 5
This Recommendation is intended to be used only in the case of a radio interference complaint. All
involved parties (including but not limited to network operators, service providers or customers) are
recommended to work together for solving the case.
The test methods presented apply to
• disturbing emissions from wire-line telecommunication networks as defined in clause 3
• only those frequencies that are launched onto the telecommunication wire-pair as part of the
intentional transmission spectrum of the broadband system1 .
It covers, but is not restricted to, target levels regarding radiated disturbing emissions for such
telecommunication networks as:
– All telecommunication networks using telecommunication cables and their in-house cabling
extensions;
– All telecommunication networks using the Low Voltage (LV) AC mains network;
– Community antenna TV (CATV) distribution networks.
This Recommendation covers the frequency range 9 kHz to 400 GHz. To date, it specifies target
levels for radiated disturbance in the frequency range 9 kHz to 6 GHz.
Application of defined test methods is restricted to that section of the telecommunication network in
the vicinity of the radio interference.: it is not necessary to apply the test method to all sections of
the telecommunication network.
The emission target levels have been selected so as to ensure that disturbances emanating from
telecommunication networks do not, in most cases, exceed a level which could prevent radio
communications receivers operated in the near vicinity from functioning as intended.
