This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the General
Electrotechnical Standards Policy Committee and is the English language
version of EN 50081-2, Electromagnetic compatibility - Generic emission
standard Part 2: Industrial environment, published by the European
Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC).
This standard is one of a number of generic standards related to European
Council Directive 89/336/EEC, dated 3 May 1989 (referred to as the
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive), which applies to apparatus
(equipment) liable to cause electromagnetic disturbance or the performance of
which is liable to be affected by such disturbance. I t defines the protection
requirements, and related conformity procedures. The protection requirements
state that apparatus within the scope of the Directive are to be so constructed
that:
a) the electromagnetic disturbance it generates does not exceed a level
allowing radio and telecommunications equipment and other apparatus to
operate as intended;
b) the apparatus has an adequate level of intrinsic immunity to
electromagnetic disturbance to enable it to operate as intended.

BS EN 50081-2 : 1994
Member States of the EC are required to presume compliance with the
protection requirements where apparatus is in conformity with the relevant
national standard implementing the harmonized standard (in this case
Attention is drawn to the following:
EN 50081-2).
The factor which determines, for EMC purposes, whether an apparatus is
deemed to be Industrial or Residential, commercial and light industrial , is
given in clause 1 as follows: Apparatus covered by this standard is not
intended for connection to a public mains network but is intended to be
connected to a power network supplied from a high or medium-voltage
transformer dedicated for the supply of an installation feeding manufacturing
or similar plant.
NUTE. Apparatus intended for direct connection to a public mains network is covered by
relevant product or product family standards or generic standards BS EN 50081-1 (Emission) and
BS EN 50082-1 (Immunity).
The following guidance is given to manufacturers intending to make a
declaration of conformity with the protection requirements of Directive
89/336/EEC.
1) Where a declaration of conformity is to be based exclusively on
standards, a manufacturer should apply all of the standards which have
been listed in the Official Journal of the European Communities where
the scopes of the standards are appropriate to the product.
2) Where the scopes of the product or product family standards are not
appropriate to a particular product, the generic standards should be
applied.
Guidance on the use and applicability of generic EMC standards is given in
PD 6582 : 1993 which implements CENELEC Report R110-002 : 1993 Guide to
Geizeric Standards (see note to clause 1).
3) Where, for whatever reason, a manufacturer chooses not to apply the
standards, or to apply them only in part (see note 1 to the table), the
technical construction file route, as described in Article lO(2) of
Directive 89/336/EEC, can be followed in order to make a declaration of
conformity.
The examples of typical equipment given in the table, which is not exhaustive,
show which standards should be applied if it is intended to make a declaration
of conformity which is based exclusively on standards.
Although the Member States of the EC were required to implement the EMC
Directive on 1 J anuary 1992, Amending Directive 92/3l/EEC provides for a
transitional period ending on 31 December 1995, during which manufacturers
of electrotechnical products have the option either to:
a) comply with the requirements of the EMC Directive; or
b) to continue to comply with existing national regulations which were in
force at 30 J une 1992.
Products manufactured in one Member State which do not conform to the
Directive are required to conform to the regulations of the Member State in
which they are marketed.

1 Scope
This standard for emission requirements applies to
electrical and electronic apparatus intended for use
in the industrial environment, as described in
clause 5, for which no dedicated product or
product-family emission standard exists. Apparatus
designed to radiate electromagnetic energy for
radio communications purposes is excluded from
this standard.
Disturbances in the frequency range O Hz to
400 GHz are covered. Fault conditions of apparatus
are not taken into account.
Where a relevant dedicated product or
product-family EMC emission standard exists, it
shall take precedence over ail aspects of this
generic standard.
The environments encompassed by this standard
are industrial, both indoor and outdoor. Apparatus
covered by this standard is not intended for
connection to a public mains network but is
intended to be connected to a power network
supplied from a high or medium-voltage
transformer dedicated for the supply of an
installation feeding manufacturing or similar plant.
This standard applies to apparatus intended to
operate in industrial locations or in proximity to
industrial power installations.
NOTE. Guidance on the choice and applicability of
Generic EMC Standards can be found in
CENELEC Report R110-002 : 1993 - Guide to Generic
Standards.

3 Objective
The objective of this standard is to define limits
and test methods for apparatus defined in the
scope, in relation to electromagnetic emissions
which may cause interference in other apparatus.
These emission limits represent essential
electromagnetic compatibility requirements and
have been selected to ensure that the disturbances
generated by the apparatus operated normally at
industrial locations do not exceed a level which
could prevent other apparatus from operating as
intended.
Test requirements are specified for each port
considered.
NOTE 1. The limits in this standard may not, however, provide
full protection against interference to radio and television
reception when the apparatus is used closer than 30 m to the
receiving antenna(e).
NOTE 2. In special cases, for instance when highly susceptible
apparatus is being used in proximity, additional mitigation
measures may have to be employed to reduce the
electromagnetic emission further below the specified levels.

4 Definitions
Definitions related to EMC and to relevant
phenomena may be found in the EEC Directive, in
chapter 161 of the IEV (IEC 50) and in IEC and
CISPR Publications. The definitions stated in the
Directive (89/336/EEC) take precedence.
The following particular definitions are used in this
standard :
port:
Particular interface of the specified apparatus with
the external electromagnetic environment (see
figure 1).
enclosure port:
The physical boundary of the apparatus through
which electromagnetic fields may radiate or
impinge.
5 Industrial locations
Industrial locations are characterized by the
existence of one or more of the following
conditions:
- industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) i)
apparatus are present;
- heavy inductive or capacitive loads are frequently
switched;
- currents and associated magnetic fields are high.
These are the major contributors to the industrial
electromagnetic environment and as such
distinguish the industrial from other environments.
6 Conditions during measurement
The measurement shall be made in the operation
mode producing the largest emission in the
frequency band being investigated consistent with
normal applications,
An attempt shall be made to maximize the emission
by varying the configuration and the mode of
operation of the test sample in accordance with the
basic standard.
If L e apparatus is part of a system, or can be
connected to auxiliary apparatus, then the
apparatus shall be tested while connected to the
minimum configuration of auxiliary apparatus
necessary to exercise the ports in a similar manner
to that described in clause 8 of EN 55022 : 1987.
The configuration and mode of operation during
measurement shall be precisely noted in the test
report.
If the apparatus has a large number of similar ports
or ports with many similar connections, then a
sufficient number shall be selected to simulate
actual operating conditions and to ensure that ail
the different types of termination are covered.
The tests shall be carried out within the specified
operating conditions for the apparatus and at its
rated supply voltage, unless otherwise indicated in
the basic standard.
7 Documentation for the purchaserhser
7.1 Documentation which shall be supplied to
the purchaserhser:
The apparatus shall be supplied with a written
warning indicating that the apparatus shall not be
used in the residential, commercial and
light-industrial environment unless the apparatus
also conforms to the relevant standard
The purchaserhser shall be informed if special
measures have to be taken to achieve compliance,
e.g. the use of shielded or special cables.
7.2 Documentation which shall be available to
the purchaserhser upon request:
A list of auxiliary apparatus which together with
the apparatus comply with the emission
requirements.

8 Applicability
The measurements in this standard are made on
the relevant ports of the apparatus in accordance
with table 1. Measurements shall only be carried
out where the relevant ports exist.
It may be determined from consideration of the
electrical characteristics and usage of a particular
apparatus that some of the measurements are
inappropriate and therefore unnecessary. In such a
case it is required that the decision not to test be
recorded in the test report.
9 Emission limits
The emission limits for apparatus covered by this
standard are given on a port by port basis.
Measurements shall be performed in well-defined
and reproducible conditions for each type of
disturbance.
The description of the test, the test methods and
the test set-up are given in basic standards which
are referred to in table 1 and in table A. l .
The contents of these basic standards are not
repeated here; however modifications or additional
information needed for the practical application of
the tests are given in this standard.
NOTE. The term basic standard has been used for want of a
more suitable term. The standards references (EN 55011,
EN 55014, EN 55022 and EN 60555) are stand-alone
product-family standards. The reference to basic standard is
intended to be limited to those parts of the standard that give
the description of the test, the test methods and the test
Set-up.
