  • Setting up data acquisition systems

    • Proper preparation ensures accurate and reliable results.

    Testing Parameters and Conditions

    The standard defines specific test parameters and conditions to assess product immunity, including:

  • Test frequencies: 30 kHz to 300 MHz

  • Test levels: 10 V/m to 1 kV/m (depending on the type of disturbance)

  • Test duration: 10 minutes

    • These parameters and conditions are crucial for evaluating a products immunity under various electromagnetic disturbances.

    Test Report and Certificate

    After testing, a test report is generated, including:

  • Test results

  • Compliance statements

  • Calibration certificates

    • This documentation serves as evidence of compliance with CISPR 14-2 requirements.

    CISPR 14-2 applies to various industries, including:

  • Household appliances (e.g., refrigerators, washing machines)

  • Electric motors (e.g., pumps, fans)

  • Electrical devices (e.g., lighting fixtures, power tools)

    • These examples illustrate the broad scope of CISPR 14-2 and its relevance to diverse product categories.

    Additional test conditions and methodology include:

  • Radiated immunity testing

  • Conducted immunity testing

  • Emission testing

    • These tests assess a products susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and emissions, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

    CISPR 14-2 testing offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Improved product safety

  • Enhanced competitiveness in the market

  • Reduced costs associated with non-compliance

  • Simplified compliance with regulatory requirements
