CISPR 11 Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) Equipment Emissions

Comprehensive Guide to CISPR 11 Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) Equipment Emissions Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

CISPR 11 is an international standard for the assessment of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) equipment. This standard is published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and is widely adopted globally. The CISPR 11 standard provides a framework for assessing the electromagnetic emissions (EME) of ISM equipment to ensure that they do not cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) with other devices.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding CISPR 11 testing is governed by various national and international regulations. For example, in the European Union (EU), the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU requires that ISM equipment complies with the relevant CISPR standards, including CISPR 11. In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates the electromagnetic emissions of ISM equipment under Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

International and National Standards

CISPR 11 is an international standard published by the IEC, but it has been adopted and modified by various national standards organizations around the world. For example, in the EU, CISPR 11 is referenced as EN 55011, while in the United States, it is referenced as ANSI C63.10.

Standard Development Organizations

The development of CISPR 11 is overseen by the IEC Technical Committee (TC) 77: EMC, which is responsible for developing and maintaining international standards for EMC. The TC 77 also has a subcommittee (SC) dedicated to ISM equipment, which develops and maintains standards such as CISPR 11.

Standard Evolution and Updates

Standards like CISPR 11 are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in technology and regulatory requirements. For example, the latest edition of CISPR 11 (2019) includes new test methods for assessing the electromagnetic emissions of ISM equipment.

Standard Numbers and Scope

CISPR 11 has several annexes that provide additional information on specific aspects of the standard. These include:
