CISPR 16 is a series of fourteen publications specifying equipment and methods for measuring disturbances and immunity to them at frequencies above 9 kHz.
CISPR 16 is split into four distinct parts with an overall number of fourteen different elements.
CISPR 16 basics
The CISPR standards and specifications are issued by the International Special Committee on Radio Interference, CISPR which is the organisation used for setting EMC standards in Europe.
.CISPR 16 specifies all that is needed to undertake the EMC tests in the CISPR series.
It defines the characteristics and performance of equipment for the measurement of radio disturbance voltages and currents in the frequency range 9 kHz to 1 GHz.
CISPR 16 has the status of a basic EMC publication. The specification includes details of the ancillary apparatus needed for artificial mains networks, current and voltage probes and coupling units for current injection on cables.
CISPR 16-1
This consists of five parts which specify voltage, current and field measuring apparatus.
| CISPR 16 Part 1 | |
|---|---|
| CISPR 16 Part Number | Details |
| Part 1-1 | Measuring apparatus |
| Part 1-2 | Ancillary equipment - Conducted disturbances |
| Part 1-3 | Ancillary equipment - Disturbance power |
| Part 1-4 | Ancillary equipment - Radiated disturbances |
| Part 1-5 | Antenna calibration test sites for 30 MHz to 1 000 MHz |
CISPR 16-2
CISPR 16-2 consists of five parts which specify the methods for measuring high-frequency EMC phenomena. It addresses both EMC disturbances and immunity.
| CISPR 16 Part 2 | |
|---|---|
| CISPR 16 Part Number | Details |
| Part 2-1 | Conducted disturbance measurements |
| Part 2-2 | Measurement of disturbance power |
| Part 2-3 | Radiated disturbance measurements |
| Part 2-4 | Immunity measurements |
| Part 2-5 | In situ measurements for disturbing emissions produced by physically large equipment |
CISPR 16-3
CISPR 16-3 is basically a technical report rather than a standard and it contains specific technical reports and information on the history of CISPR
CISPR 16-4
CISPR 16 Part 4 consists of five parts and contains information related to uncertainties, statistics and limit modelling.
| CISPR 16 Part 1 | |
|---|---|
| CISPR 16 Part Number | Details |
| Part 4-1 | Uncertainties in standardized EMC tests |
| Part 4-2 | Uncertainty in EMC measurements |
| Part 4-3 | Statistical considerations in the determination of EMC compliance of mass-produced products |
| Part 4-4 | Statistics of complaints and a model for the calculation of limits |
| Part 4-5 | Conditions for the use of alternative test methods |
