CISPR 16 Radio Interference and Immunity Measurement Devices and Methods

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of CISPR 16 testing. CISPR 16 specifies everything required to perform EMC tests in the CISPR series.

It describes the characteristics and performance of equipment for the measurement of radio interference voltages and currents in the 9 kHz to 1 GHz frequency range.

CISPR 16 has the status of a basic EMC broadcast. The specification includes details of auxiliary apparatus needed for artificial mains networks, current and voltage probes, and coupling units for current injection into cables.

CISPR 16-1

It consists of five parts specifying the voltage, current and field measuring apparatus.

• Chapter 1-1 Measuring apparatus
• Chapter 1-2 Auxiliary equipment - Conveyed ailments
• Section 1-3 Auxiliary equipment - Distortion power
• Section 1-4 Auxiliary equipment - Radiated interferences
• Section 1-5 Antenna calibration test sites for 30 MHz to 1 MHz

CISPR 16-2

CISPR 16-2 consists of five parts that specify methods for measuring high frequency EMC events. It addresses both EMC disorders and immunity.

• Section 2-1 Conducted distortion measurements
• Chapter 2-2 Measurement of distortion power
• Chapter 2-3 Diffuse distortion measurements
• Chapter 2-4 Immune measurements
• Chapter 2-5 On-site measurements for nuisance emissions produced by physically large equipment

CISPR 16-3

CISPR 16-3 is primarily a technical report rather than a standard, and contains specific technical reports and information on the history of CISPR.

CISPR 16-4

CISPR 16-4 consists of five parts and includes information on uncertainties, statistics and limit modelling.

• Chapter 4-1 Uncertainties in standardized EMC testing
• Chapter 4-2 Uncertainty in EMC measurements
• Chapter 4-3 Statistical considerations in determining EMC compliance of mass-produced products
• Chapter 4-4 Complaint statistics and a model for calculating limits
• Chapter 4-5 Conditions of use of alternative test methods
