IEC 60533 Electrical and Electronic Installations on Ships, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Metal Hull Ships

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of IEC 60533 standard. IEC 60533 is available as International standard and IEC 60533 RLV with Redline version and shows all changes in technical content compared to previous version.

IEC 60533 specifies minimum requirements for emission, immunity and performance criteria for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of electrical and electronic equipment for metallic hull ships.

The electrical installations of ships with electrical or electronic systems have to operate in a wide variety of environmental conditions.

Control of unwanted electromagnetic emission ensures that no other devices on board are unduly affected by the equipment in question. Appropriate limits are specified.

On the other hand, the equipment must operate without disturbance in the normal electromagnetic environment. The immunity breakpoints specified in this International standard were chosen under this assumption.

Equipment tested and installed to this International standard meets relevant IMO requirements. Special risks are also covered, such as lightning strikes, transients from the operation of circuit breakers, and electromagnetic radiation from radio transmitters.
