Comprehensive Guide to CISPR 14-3 Emission Testing for Household Appliances: A Laboratory Testing Service by Eurolab

CISPR 14-3 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for emission testing of household appliances, including their electrical and magnetic fields. This standard is developed by the International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR), which is a committee of experts from various countries responsible for developing standards related to electromagnetic compatibility.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding CISPR 14-3 emission testing is governed by various national and international regulations. In Europe, the relevant regulations are set forth in the Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU) and the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU). These directives require that all household appliances comply with the limits specified in CISPR 14-3.

International and National Standards

The international standards applicable to CISPR 14-3 emission testing are:

  • IEC 61000-3-2:2009A1:2010 (Electromagnetic compatibility - Part 3-2: Limits for harmonic current emissions)

  • IEC 61000-3-3:1995A1:2008A2:2009 (Electromagnetic compatibility - Part 3-3: Limits for voltage fluctuations and flicker)

    • National standards may also be applicable, such as:

  • EN 50504:2011A1:2014 (Electromagnetic compatibility - Emission standard for residential, commercial and light-industrial environments)

  • TSE 1080:2007 (Electromagnetic compatibility - Emission standard for household appliances)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The CISPR committee is responsible for developing standards related to electromagnetic compatibility. This committee is made up of experts from various countries who contribute their expertise to the development of international standards.

    Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies and requirements emerge. The CISPR committee regularly reviews and updates its standards to ensure that they remain relevant and effective in addressing emerging issues.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    Some specific standard numbers related to CISPR 14-3 emission testing are:
