This standard applies to the emission (radiated and conducted) of radiofrequency disturbances
from:
– 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 equipment;
– neon advertising signs;
– street/flood lighting intended for outdoor use;
– transport lighting (installed in buses and trains).
Excluded from the scope of this standard are:
– lighting equipment operating in the ISM frequency bands (as defined in Resolution 63
(1979) of the ITU Radio Regulation);
– lighting equipment for aircraft and airports;
– apparatus for which the electromagnetic compatibility requirements in the radio-frequency
range are explicitly formulated in other IEC or CISPR standards.
The frequency range covered is 9 kHz to 400 GHz.
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 level of radio protection and electromagnetic compatibility. In exceptional cases,
additional provisions may be required.
