Updates On The New Release Of IEC 61000-4-3 Edition 3
Source: ARThe IEC 61000-4-3 has been used for many years as the basic test standard for testing to Radiated, electromagnetic field immunity testing in order to satisfy one of many European Union requirements for the CE mark. This standard is usually used in conjunction with a product standard that will specify this and other test standards detailing the requirements the product must meet. The product standard may give additional guidance on how this test standard is used, including test level severity and changes to procedure.
The object of this standard is to establish a common reference to radiated RF immunity caused by any source. Electronic products need to be designed and tested to have immunity to these sources. Radiated RF sources can radiate from many sources such as other electronic devices, electric motors and intentional transmitters such as walkie-talkies and cell phones. The introduction of more wireless devices in the past couple of years has increased the need for this testing not only to satisfy governmental requirements but also increase product reliability which increases customer satisfaction.
Note: This document should not be used in conjunction with or instead of the official released publication. It is only intended to give you guidance and information on the possible changes. Always refer to the latest standards.
IEC 61000-4-3: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) – Part 4-3: Testing and measurement techniques – Radiated, radio-frequency, electromagnetic field immunity test.
