CISPR 15 Limits for Radio Disturbance from Lighting Equipment Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab: A Comprehensive Guide

CISPR 15 is an international standard that sets limits for radio disturbance from lighting equipment. It is a critical standard for ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and reducing the risk of electromagnetic interference (EMI) in various industries, including lighting, electrical, and electronics.

International and National Standards

The CISPR 15 standard is developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), which is responsible for setting standards for electrotechnology worldwide. The IEC has a network of national committees that participate in the development of international standards. In addition to the IEC, other standardization organizations, such as the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) and the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee (JISC), also play a significant role in developing standards related to CISPR 15.

Standard Development Organizations

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is responsible for setting international standards, including CISPR 15. The IEC has a network of national committees that participate in the development of international standards. These committees include:

  • CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization)

  • JISC (Japanese Industrial Standards Committee)

  • ANSI (American National Standards Institute)

  • CSA (Canadian Standards Association)

    • Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and industry practices. CISPR 15 is no exception. The standard has undergone several revisions since its first publication in 1975.

    Scope and Requirements

    CISPR 15 sets limits for radio disturbance from lighting equipment with a frequency range of 9 kHz to 80 GHz. The standard requires that lighting equipment be designed and constructed to meet these limits, which are based on the emission levels of various frequencies.

    Industry-Specific Compliance Requirements

    Different industries have specific requirements for CISPR 15 compliance. For example:

  • Lighting equipment used in residential buildings must comply with CISPR 15 Class B emissions limits.

  • Lighting equipment used in industrial settings must comply with CISPR 15 Class A emissions limits.

  • Lighting equipment used in medical facilities must comply with CISPR 15 Class I emissions limits.

    • Consequences of Non-Compliance

    Failure to comply with CISPR 15 can result in:

  • Electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can affect the performance and reliability of other electronic devices.

  • Fines and penalties for non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

  • Damage to reputation and brand image.

  • Loss of business due to non-compliance.

    • Why This Test is Needed
