EN 55024 Immunity Requirements for IT EquipmentEN 55024 Immunity Requirements for IT Equipment Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab
Standard-Related Information
EN 55024 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for the electromagnetic immunity of information technology (IT) equipment. This standard is part of the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards series, which aims to ensure that electrical and electronic equipment does not generate or radiate electromagnetic disturbances that can affect other equipment.
Comprehensive Overview of Relevant Standards
International and National Standards
EN 55024 is part of the EN 61000 series, which covers electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards for electrical and electronic equipment. This standard is recognized worldwide and is used as a basis for national and international regulations.
Standard Development Organizations and Their Role
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) are responsible for developing and maintaining EN 55024. These organizations bring together experts from various countries to develop and maintain standards that ensure safety, efficiency, and compatibility of electrical and electronic equipment.
How Standards Evolve and Get Updated
Standards evolve and get updated as new technologies emerge, and existing ones improve. This process involves input from industry experts, regulatory bodies, and international standardization organizations.
Standard Numbers and Their Scope
EN 55024 is the standard for information technology equipment - immunity characteristics - specifications for electrostatic discharge immunity test (8 kV contact, 15 kV air discharge). The standard specifies the requirements for electromagnetic immunity of IT equipment to electrostatic discharges.
