National foreword
This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the General Electrotechnical Engineering Standards
Committee and is the English language version of EN 55 014, which is based on CISPR Publication 14 : 1985 'Limits and
methods of measurement of radio interference characteristics of household electrical appliances, portable tools and
similar electrical apparatus', with CENELEC common modifications. It is a revision of BS 800 : 1983, but it will become
effective only from a date to be announced later by amendment. The reasons for this are explained in the following
paragraphs of this foreword.
Instrument 1989 No. 562 which amends SI 1978 No. 1267 as amended by SI 1985 No, 808.
The effect of SI 1989 No. 562 was that equipment complying with either BS 800 : 1983 or BS 800 : 1988 could be
marketed freely until 31 December 1989, a t which time BS 800 : 1983 would be withdrawn and thereafter only
' equipment which complies with BS 800 : 1988 could be placed on the market.
By 1 July 1991, HM Government are obliged to enact further legislation which will come into force on 1 January 1992
. to implement the provisions of Directive 89/336/EEC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), a t which time Directive
. 76/889/EEC as amended by Directives 82/499/EEC and 87/308/EEC will be repealed.
Under this legalisation, a method of meeting the essential requirements of Directive 89/336/EEC will be
compliance with harmonized standards. BS 800 : 1988 is one of the harmonized standards.
-__ - - ___ ----- -_
From 1 January 1992, EEC Directive 76/889 as amended by Directives 82/439 and 87/308 will be repealed and BS 800 :
1988 will be the subject of ths provisions of EEC Directive W 3 3 6 on Electromagnetic Compatibility.'

Brief History
Amendment 2 to EN 55014 includes
- Amendment 1 to EN 55014, which is herewith
withdrawn, and
- the results of the parallel voting procedure on IEC
documents CISPR/F (Central Office) 44 to 50.
The documents which received a majority support were
ratified by the Technical Board during its 57th meeting

LIMITS AND METHODS OF MEASUREMENT OF RADIO

INTERFERENCE CHARACTERISTIC§ OF HOUSEHOLD ELECTRICAL
APPLIANCES, PORTABLE TOOLS AND SIMILAR ELECTRICAL
APPARATUS
1. Scope
1.1 This publication applies to the conduction and the radiation of electromagnetic energy from
household eIectrical equipment, portable tools and other electrical apparatus which may
cause interference to radio reception, such as: office machines, cine or slide projectors,
electric toys, recording apparatus, milking machines, motor-driven electromedical apparatus,
etc., but excluding those producing high-frequency radiation for heating and therapeutic
purposes.
Among portable tools, those with a power in excess of 2 kW are excluded.
Separate motors, sold as such, are also excluded.
1.2 The frequency range covered is O. I5 MHz to 300 MHz.
1.3 Multifunction equipment which is subjected simultaneously to different clauses of this publi-
cation and/or other publications shall be tested with each function operated in isolation, if
this can be achieved without modifying the equipment internally. The equipment thus tested
shall be deemed to have complied with the requirements of all the clauses/publications when
each function has satisfied the requirements of the relevant clause/publication.
For equipment for which it is not practicable to test with each function operated in
isolation, or where the isolation of a particular function would result in the equipment being
unable to fulfil its primary function, the equipment shall be deemed to have complied only if
it meets the provisions of each clause/publication with the necessary functions operative.
2. Object
To establish uniform requirements for the radio interference level of household electrical
equipment, portable tools and other electrical apparatus which may cause interference to
radio reception, to fix limits of interference, to describe methods of measurement, and to give
guidance for the standardization of measuring methods and limits for the level of radio inter-
ference generated by household appliances, portable tools and other above-mentioned elec-
trical apparatus.
3. Definitions
For the purpose of this publication, the definitions contained in IEC hblication 50(902):
International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV), Chapter 902: Radio Interference, apply.
4. Limits of interference
4.1 Continuous interference"
Commutator motors as well as other devices incorporated in household appliances,
portable tools and similar electrical apparatus may cause continuous interference.
Continuous interference may be' either broadband, caused by switching devices such as mechanical
switches, commutators, and semiconductor regulators, or may be narrowband, caused by electronic
L
control devices such as microprocessors.
Broadband interference is measured with a measuring receiver including a quasi-peak detector as
described in Section One of CISPR Publication 16 (1977).
Narrowband interference is measured with a CISPR measuring receiver in which the quasi-peak detector
is replaced by an average detector. The average detector shall comply with Clause 23 of CISPR
Publication 16.
Note. -The limits for narrowband interference are tentative and may be relaxed or restricted after a period of
experience.

4.1.1 Frequency range 0.15 MHz to 30.-M H z (terminal voltages)
The operating conditions and methods of measurement are given in Clauses 5 and 6 ,
respectively, of this publicatiòn.
The limits of the interference terminal voltages measured with the 50 W 5 0 pH artificial
mains V-network (see Sub-ciause 6.1.2) are given in Table I.
4.1.2 Frequency range 30 MHz to 300 M H z (interference power)
AA The operating conditions and methods of measurement are given in Clauses 5 and 7,
respectively.
The limits of interference power, measured with the absorbing clamp (see Clause 7 and
,Appendix C), are given in Tables II and IIa.
4.1.3 Interference produced by regulating controls incorporating semiconductor devices
The limits are applicable only to regulating controls of rated input currents not exceeding
25 A and which incorporate semiconductor devices.
The limits are given in Table I and the methods of measurement are specified in Sub-
clause 5.2.
Regulating controls which incorporate semiconductor devices are not subject to the inter-
ference power limits in the frequency range 30 MHz to 300 MHz.
Terminals which may be used as either mains terminals or load/additional terminals are
subject to the limits for mains terminals.
Measurements at the load terminals and additional terminals should be performed using
the high resistance measuring probe (see Sub-clause 5.2.2.1, Items d ) and e)).

As Sub-clause 4.1.3 with measuring methods and operating conditions as specified in Sub-
clause 5.2 and Sub-clause 5.3.13.
4.1.5 Interference produced by additional terminals of appliances
Because the decoupling between receiving installations and auxiliary leads is in general
better than between receiving installations and mains leads, the limits given for "additional
1. terminals" of regulating controls according to Table I apply.

4.2 Discontinuous interference

4.2.1 Switching operations in thermostatically controlled appliances, automatic programme
controlled machines and other electrically controlled or operated appliances generate discon-
tinuous interference. The subjective effect of discontinuous interference varies with repetition
rate and amplitude in the case of both sound radio and television. For that purpose,
- distinction is made between various kinds of discontinuous interference. Discontinuous inter-
ference measuring apparatus shall comply with Clause 30 and Appendix R of C.I.S.P.R.
Publication 16.

An alternative method using an oscilloscope may be employed if it yields the same results
with the same degree of accuracy. See Appendix D for guidance.
Note. - For the time being no measurements on discontinuous interference are to be made in the frequency range
30 MHz to 300 MHz.
4.2.2 The following definitions apply:
4.2.2.1 Click: a disturbance which lasts not more than 200 ms and which is separated from a subse-
quent disturbance by at least 200 ms. A click may contain a number of impulses. Examples of
discontinuous interference which are classified as clicks are shown in Figures 2a, 2b and 2c,
page 89.
4.2.2.2 Counted clicks: clicks which exceed the limit of continuous interference.
4.2.2.3 Switching operation: one opening or one closing of a switch or contact.
4.2.2.4 Minimum observation time T:for appliances which do not stop automatically, the shorter
time of either:
u) the time to register 40 counted clicks or, where relevant, 40 switching operations, or
b) 120min.
For appliances which stop automatically, duration of the minimum number of complete
programmes necessary to produce 40 counted clicks or, where relevant, 40 switching opera-
tions. Wheii, 120 min after the beginning of the test, 40 counted clicks have not been
produced, the test is stopped at the end of the programme in course.
The interval between the end of one programme and the start of the next programme shall
be excluded from the minimum observation time, except for those appliances in which an
immediate re-start is inhibited. For these appliances, the minimum time required to re-start
the programme shall be included in the minimum observation time.
4.2.2.5 Click rate N : the figure which is used to determine the permitted limit for clicks. In general
Nis the number of counted clicks per minute determined from the formula N = ni/T, nl being
the number of counted clicks during the observation time Tminutes.
For certain appliances (see Sub-clause 4.2.4.6), the click rate N is determined from the
formula N = fnz/ T, where n2 is the number of switching operations during the observation
time Tandfis a factor given in Appendix A, Table IV.
4.2.2.6 Permitted Zimiffor clicks: the relevant limit for continuous interference, as given in Sub-
clauses 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, increased by an amount:
44 dB ( N< 0.2)
2Ologio-30 dB (0.2GNá30)
N
O dB (N730)
4.2.2.7 Application of the permitted limit: the appliance is assessed for compliance with the
permitted limit according to the upper quartile method, the appliance being tested for a time
not less than the minimum observation time. If the click rate Nis determined from the number
of counted clicks (or switching operations), the appliance under test shall be deemed to
comply with the limit if not more than a quarter of the number of counted clicks (or switching
operations) registered during the observation time are higher than the permitted limit.
Nore. - An example of the use of the upper quartile method is given in Appendix B.

4.2.3 The following limits and conditions shall apply (except as detailed in Sub-clause 4.2.4).
4.2.3.1 When switching operations produce:

a) clicks occurring more frequently than twice in any 2 s period, or
b) interference other than clicks,

the interference shall, with the exception of that caused by appliances as detailed in Sub-
clause 4.2.4.3, be subject to the limits for continuous interference laid down in Sub-clause 4.1.
Examples of discontinuous interference for which the limits for continuous interference
apply are shown in Figures 3a, 3b and 3c, page 90.
4.2.3.2 In the case of counted clicks not occurring more frequently than twice in any 2 s period for
all classes of equipment and appliances except those detailed in Sub-clause 4.2.4, the
permitted limit shall be as defined above and as shown in Appendix A, Table III. The value
of Nshall be determined at 160 kHz, 550 kHz and 30 MHz. (See also Sub-clause 5.1.2.2.)
4.2.3.3 The interference shall be treated as continuous for values of N greater than 30. For N
smaller than 30, the interference shall be considered discontinuous and tested according to the
upper quartile method. If the click rate Nis smaller than 0.2, a permitted limit of 44 dB above
the relevant limit for continuous interference is applied, as given in Sub-clauses 4.1.1 and
4.1.2. (See also Appendix A, Table V.)
--`,`,`,`,,,`,,,,`,,,,```,``````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
4.2.3.4 The limits apply for click rates Nunder operating conditions specified in Sub-clauses 5.1.1
and 5.3 or, when not specified, under the most onerous conditions of normal use (maximum
click rate).
4.2.3.5 When counted clicks from programme-controlled appliances are evaluated applying the
method of assessment of discontinuous interference, some discontinuous interference may be
registered that does not satisfy the conditions necessary in order to be classified as clicks.
If the total duration of this discontinuous interference does not exceed 600 ms during the
minimum observation time (see Sub-clause 4.2.2.4), it is considered as one click and is not
subject to the limits for continuous interference laid down in Sub-clause 4. I.
4.2.4 For certain appliances listed in the following sub-clauses, the limits and operating condi-
tions laid down in Sub-clause 4.2.3 shall apply with the exceptions as mentioned.
4.2.4.1 The interference caused by the manual operation of a switch or a control which is included
in an appliance for:
1) the purpose of mains connection or disconnection only,
2) the purpose of programme selection only,
3) the control of energy or speed by switching between a limited number of fixed positions,

4) the changing of the manual setting of a continuously adjustable control such as a variable
speed device for water extraction or electronic thermostats,
is to be disregarded for the purpose of testing the appliance for compliance with the limits of
radio interference set out in this publication.
Noie. - If the setting of continuously adjustable controls, which are not designed for frequent adjustment in normal
use such as devices for variable water extraction has been pre-set, it shall not be adjusted during the test.
Examples of switches included in the above definition are the switch for a lamp, an electric
typewriter, manual switches for heat and air flow control in fan heaters and hair dryers.
Not included are those switches which normally will be repeatedly operated, such as those
defined in Sub-clause 5.3.8 (for instance in sewing machines, calculating machines, etc.).
4.2.4.2 Appliances which have a click r a t e of not more than 5 and which
1 have instantaneous switching ( ¡ . e . t h e duration of each click is less
than 10 ms) shall be deemed to comply with t h e limits, independant of
--`,`,`,`,,,`,,,,`,,,,```,``````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
t h e amplitude of the clicks. If either condition is not satisfied then t h e

limits according to Sub-clause 4 . 2 . 3 apply.

4.2.4.3 For appliances which have a click rate Nof less than five, any two disturbances caused by
the sequential operation of two or more separate switchei, and each disturbance having a
maximum duration of 200 ms, and neither preceded nor followed within 2 s by any other
disturbance, shall be evaluated as two clicks even when the separation between the disturb-
ances is less than 200 ms,
For this class of equipment, for instance refrigerators, the example shown in Figure 3c,
page 90, would be evaluated as two clicks and not as continuous interference.
4.2.4.4 For thermostatically controlled three-phase switches, the three disturbances caused
sequentially in each of the three phases and the neutral shall, independent of their spacing and
subject to the following conditions, be evaluated as three clicks and not as continuous inter-
ference.
Provided that:
'
i) the switch operates not more than once in any 15 min period and the three disturbances are
neither preceded nor followed within 2 s by any other disturbance;
ii) the duration of the disturbances caused by the opening or the closing of any one of the
contacts shall be 10 ms or less and the typical value shall be not greater than 44 dB above
the relevant limit for continuous interference.
4.2.4.6 For appliances listed in Table IV of Appendix A, the click rate N = f i z / T, where i 2 is the
sum of the openings and closings of the contacts (switching operations) during the obser-
vation time Tminutes, andf is a factor given in Appendix A, Table IV.

5.1.3 Measurement of the duration of disturbances

The appliance to be tested is connected to a C.I.S.P.R. artificial mains V-network. If a
C.I.S.P.R. measuring receiver is available, it is connected to the V-network and a cathode-ray
’
- osciIloscope is connected to the i.f. output of the C.I.S.P.R.measuring receiver. If a C.1.S.P.R.
_ - _ -
measuring receiver is not available, the oscilloscope is connected directly to the V - n e t w o h
\
The time base of the oscilloscope can be started by the disturbances to be tested; the velocity of
the time base is set to a value of 1 ms/cm to 10 ms/cm if appliances with instantaneous switch-
ing are measured and 10 ms/cm to 200 ms/cm for the other appliances. The phenorne,., n i can
either be recorded on the screen of a storage oscilloscope or a photograph can he made, thus
enabling the time duration to be measured.
5.2 Interferenceproduced by regulating controls incorporating semiconductor devices
5.2.1 General
. This specification is limited to equipment incorporating semiconductor devices for rated
. currents not exceeding 25 A, and used, amongst others, for the control of light, heat or motor
speed (a+. power controllers, rectifiers or electronic power switches).
5.2.2 Measurements
The measurement of continuous interference from regulating controls incorporating semi-
conductor devices (see Sub-clause 4.3) should be made where relevant in accordance with
C.I.S.P.R. Publication 16 (Section Two) and as described in the following sub-clause.
Nofe. - When the semiconductor unit or irs sensing or control components are incorporated in the equipment ahich
is controlled, there is no need to measure the radio noise voltage ar those terminals which are connected to
the corresponding incorporated unit or component and which are not available for external connection.
5.2.2.1 Measuring arrangement
a) The regulating control shall be connected as shown in Figure 4, page 9 I . and measured in
accordance with the provisions of Sub-ciauses 6.2.2.1 or 6.2.2.3.
b) The output terminal of the control shall be connected to a load of the correct rated value b!
leads of length 0.5 m to 1 m.
c) Unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer, the load shall consist of incandescent
. lamps.
--`,`,`,`,,,`,,,,`,,,,```,``````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
d) Measurement of the interference voltage shall also be made at the load terminals b!. using a
probe, consisting of a resistance in series with a capacitance having a rated input imped-
ance of at least 1500 i2 (in the range 0.15 MHz to 30 MHz), in series with the input of Che
measuring receiver. Due allowance shall be made for the voltage division between the
probe and the measuring set.
e) For regulating-controls having additional terminals for connection to a remote sensine cr
control component, the following further provisions apply:
i) these additional terminals shall be connected to the remote componen: bq leads oí

0.5 m to 1 m length. If a special lead is provided, the length of this lead in excess oí
80 cm shall be folded back and forth parallel to the lead so as to form a horizontal
bundle with a length between 30 cm and 40 cm;
ii) measurement of the interference voltage at these additional terminals of the regulating
control shall be carried out in the same way as described in Sub-clause 5.2.2.1 d).
NofesI . - The probe impedance may have to be raised to avoid improper operation of the control (for instance
15 ki2 in series with 500 pH).
2. - When a regulating control or its load is normally required to be operated with an earth connection (¡.e.
Class I equipment) the reference to Sub-clause 6.2.2.3 means that the body of the regulating control shall
be connected to the earth terminal of the artificial mains network and that the body of the load, if r c q u w d
to be earthed, is connected to the body of the regulating control or, if the body of the control i s not
earthed, directly to the earth terminal of the artificial mains network.

5.2.2.2 Adjustments for maximum interference level

During each measurement the regulating control shall be adjusted to give a maximum indi-
cation on the meter at each frequency of measurement. After the value of the interference is
registered at each preferred frequency (see Sub-clause 5.1.2.1 d)) the frequency band adjacent
to the preferred frequency is scanned without adjustment to the regulating control and read-
ings of the meter are noted where the limits are exceeded (for instance scan between 0.15 MHz
and 0.24 MHz with the regulating control set at the value that gave the maximum on the meter
at O. 16 MHz, etc.).
5.2.2.3 Equipment with several regulating controls
The following measurement procedure is applied to appliances containing several indi-
vidually adjustable regulating controls each one having a maximum rated load current of not
more than 25 A (r.m.s.). It shall be applied both to appliances where several regulating
controls are connected to the same phase of the mains and to appliances where the regulating
controls are connected to separate phases of the mains.
5.2.2.3.1 Each individual regulating control is tested separately,

Measurements are made according to Sub-clause 5.2.2.1 on all terminals of the appliance.
If separate switches are provided for the individual regulating controls, the units not being
used should be switched off during these tests.
5.2.2.3.2 As many individual regulating controls as possible are connected to their loads without
the maximum current per phase to the appliance exceeding 25 A when each of the controls is
carrying its maximum rated current.
When not all individual controls can be connected, those controls are used which gave the
highest interference values when tested according to Sub-clause 5.2.2.3.1.
Note. - The controls may be different for different frequencies or for different terminals.
The settings of the individual controls shall be the same as those giving maximum interfer-
ence during the measurements according to Sub-clause 5.2.2.3.1. In addition a simple check is
made that no other setting will give more interference. Measurements are made on the mains
terminals, all phases and neutral, on the terminals to the loads and on additional terminals of
the appliance.
This test is not made when each individual regulating control consists of an entirely self-
contained regulating circuit including all suppression components and works independently
of the others and does not control, either by design or fortuitously, any load that another indi-
vidual regulator is controlling.
5.2.2.4 Equipment with separate control units
For sewing machines, dental drills and similar appliances using semiconductor speed
controls with non-rewirable separate control units connected to the appliance by a lead not
longer than 2 m, only the interference voltages at the mains terminals of the complete
appliance shall be measured.
Note. - The semiconductor device may be either incorporated in the separate control unit or in the appliance.
5,s Definition of normal loads and standard operating conditionsfor electrical equipment
Apparatus which incorporate electronic regulating controls shall have the controls adjusted
for maximum interference according to the procedure outlined in Sub-clause 5.2.2.2. This
procedure shall apply to both frequency ranges 0.15 MHz to 30 MHz and 30 MHz to
300 MHz.

For portable tools designed to operate via a transformer intended to be connected to the
mains supply, the following measuring procedure should be applied:
a) Terminal voltage: 0.15 MHz to 30 M H z
If the tool is sold together with a step-up transformer the interference shall be assessed by
measurements made on the power supply side of the transformer. The power supply lead
from the portable tool to the transformer shall be of 40 cm length or, if longer, folded to
form a horizontal bundle with a length between 30 cm and 40 cm.
If the tool is sold for example as a 110 V device, but is intended to be used with a trans-
former, the interference shall be assessed by measurements made on the power supply side
of the transformer recommended by the manufacturer for use with the power tool.
Note. - If the tool is not supplied with a "sample"transformer at the time of the test, the interference shall be
assessed by measurements made at the tool's power input connections whilst it is being supplied at its
i rated voltage.
b) Interferencepower: 30 MHz to 300 MHz
The interference shall be assessed by measurements made on the tool's power input
connection whilst being supplied at its rated voltage. The portable tool shall, during
measurement, be equipped with a power supply lead with a length suitable for measure-
ments with the absorbing clamp as described in C.I.S.P.R. hblication 16, Sub-clause 1 1.2.

room-heating equipment intended to b e use4 stationary.’ A
5.3.5.12 Toasters: if the duration of each click is less than 10 ms and the click rate N < 5, no
amplitude limit applies.
5.3.5.12.1 Simple toasters
Simple toasters are toasters which
a) incorporate a manually operated switch for switching on the heating element at the start of
the toasting cycle and automatically switching off the heating element at the end of a pre-
determined period, and
b) incorporate no automatic control device to regulate the heating element during the
toasting operation.
For simple toasters the click rate Nshall be determined and the level of interference gene-
rated assessed as follows:

condition the average “on” time (ti seconds) of the heating element shall be determined
from three toasting operations. A rest period of 30 s shall be allowed when determining f l .
The time for a complete toasting cycle is ( t i +30) seconds. Thus the click rate
N = 120/(tl+ 30).
b) Assessment of interference levels
The click rate N, established as described above shall be used to calculate the permitted
limit, Lq ,using the formula given in Sub-clause 4.2.2.6.
The toaster shall be tested applying the calculated permitted limit and assessed using the
upper quartile method given in Sub-clause 4.2.2.7. The toaster shall be operated for
20 heating cycles without load at the golden-brown setting specified in Item a). Each
heating cycle shall comprise a period of operation and a period of rest of sufficient
duration to ensure that the appliance is cooled to approximately room temperature at the
beginning of the next cycle. Forced air cooling may be used.
5.35’12.2 Other toasters shall be operated under conditions of adequate heat discharge using
slices of white bread about 24 h old (dimensions: about 10 cm x 9 cm x 1 cm). Each cycle shall
consist of an operating period and a rest period, the latter having a duration of 30 s. The click
rate Nshall bedetermined at a setting at which the bread becomes golden-brown.
5.3.5.13 (Available)
5.3.5.14 Instantaneous water heaters, thermal and non-thermal storage water heaters: to be
operated in normal position of use, filled with normal quantity of water; or water to be drawn
off during test. The click rate Nshall be determined with the highest setting of any control
device fitted.
5.3.5.15 Flexible electrical heating appliances (warming pads, electric blankets, bedwarmers, heating
mattresses): to be spread between two flexible covers (e.g. non-conducting mats), extending
beyond the heating surface by at least 100 mm. The thickness and the heat conductivity must
be selected in such a way that the click rate Ncan be determined for a duty-cycle of (50 f 1 O)?/O
of the control device.
5.3.5.16 Thermostats for the control of electric room or water heaters, oil and gas burners and the
like: as for Sub-clause 5.3.5.1 1. When the thermostat, in practice, may be used together with a
relay or contactor, all measurements shall be performed using as load such a device, having
the highest coil inductance used in practice. In order to obtain a satisfactory measurement, it
is essential that the contacts shall be operated for a sufficient number of times with a suitable
load to ensure that the levels of interference are representative of those encountered in normal

operation.
5.3.6 Electricfence supply units

The fence wire shall be replaced by an RC circuit having a 250 SZ resistance, a resistance of
50 S2 parallel to 50 pH, and a 10 nF capacitor (nominal voltage of 10 kV d.c.) in series. A
resistor of 1 MSZ is placed in parallel to the series circuit, to replace the leakage resistance of
the fence wire. The appliance shall be operated in the normal position with a maximum incli-
nation of 15 deg rees’from the vertical position.
The controls accessible without tools shall be set to the position of maximum interference.

If the connecting device of the current source does not provide a fixed polarity, tests shall
be made with both polarities.
The earth terminal of the fence circuit shall be connected to the earth terminal of the V-
network. If the terminals of the fence circuit are not clearly marked, they shall be earthed in
turn.
Note. - In order to avoid damage to the r.f. input of the measuring receiver by the high energy puises of the electric
fence unit, it may be necessary to insert an attenuator before the r.f. input.
5.3.1 Automatic goods-dispensing machines, entertainment machines and similar appliances
As far as continuous interference occurs no special operating conditions are to be observed;
the appliance is to be operated according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
If the machine is capable of producing more than two clicks within any 2 s period then all
discontinuous interference must meet the continuous interference limits.
In the case of automatic machines, where individual switching processes are (directly or
indirectly) manually operated, and whereby no more than two counted clicks per sales
process are produced, Sub-clause 4.2.4.1 is applicable.
5.3.7.1 Automatic dispensing machines

Three sales operations are to be carried out, each subsequent operation being initiated once
the machine has returned to a quiescent rest state. If the number of counted clicks produced
by each of the sales operations is the same then the click rate, N,is numerically equal to one-
sixth of the number of counted clicks produced in a single sales operation. If the number of
counted clicks varies from operation to operation then a further seven sales operations are to
be carried out and the click rate, N,shall be determined from at least 40 counted clicks on the
assumption that the rest period between each sales operation was such that the 10 sales opera-
tions were uniformly distributed over a period of 1 h. The rest period is to be included in the
minimum observation time.
5.3.7.2 Jukeboxes
An operating cycle is carried out by inserting the largest number of coins with the minimum
value necessary to start the machine, followed by the selection and playing of the corre-
sponding number of pieces of music. This operating cycle is to be repeated as often as
necessary to produce a minimum of 40 counted clicks. The value of the click rate N is deter-
mined as being half the number of counted clicks per minute. Due to the normal frequency of
use and combination of coins, the number of clicks is taken as half that during the test
observed.
5.3.7.3 A ut Omatic enterta in m en t ma chin es in corporat ing a winn ings-payout mechan ism
Electromechanical devices incorporated in the machine for storing and paying out
winnings are to be disconnected where possible from the operating system to allow the enter-
tainment function to be operated independently.
The entertainment cycle is initiated by inserting the largest number of coins with the
minimum value necessary to start the machine. The entertainment cycle is to be repeated as
often as necessary to produce a minimum of 40 counted clicks. Due to the normal frequency
of use and combination of coins, half the number of counted clicks observed need to be taken
to determine the click rate, N1.
The average frequency and value of the winnings-payout is to be supplied by the manufac-
turer. The click rate, N2, of the devices for storing and paying-out winnings are assessed by
simulation of a win of the average value supplied by the manufacturer rounded off to nearest
payout value. The simulation of this win is to be repeated as often as necessary to produce a
--`,`,`,`,,,`,,,,`,,,,```,``````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
minimum of 40 counted clicks. The winnings-payout mechanism click rate, N2, is thus deter-
..

mined. To allow for the frequency of paying-out, the number of entertainment cycles used to
determine NI is multiplied by the average frequency of paying-out. This number of paying-
outs per entertainment cycle is multiplied by N2 to produce an effective winnings paying-out
mechanism click rate, N3. The click rate for the machine is the sum of the two click rates, i.e.
N1+ N3.
5.3.7.4 Automatic entertainment machines with no winnings-payout mechanism
5.3.7.4.1 Pinball machines

The machine is to be operated by a reasonable player (one with at least 30 min experience of
operating this or similar machines). The largest number of coins with the minimum value
necessary to start the machine are used. The operating cycle is to be repeated as often as
necessary to produce a minimum of 40 counted clicks.
5.3.7.4.2 Video machines and all other similar appliances

To be operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The operating cycle
.shall be the programme obtained after inserting the largest number of coins with the
minimum value necessary to start the machine. In the case of machines with several
programmes, the programme giving the maximum click rate shall be selected. Should the
duration of the programme be less than 1 min, the following programme is not to be started
within 1 min of the start of the previous programme so as to reflect normal use. This rest
period is to be included in the minimum observation time. The programme shall be repeated
as often as necessary to produce a mínimum of 40 counted clicks.
5.3.8 Speed controls, starting switches, time switches etc.
For appliances in this category, the click rate N= n2/T, where n2 is the sum of the openings
and closings (switching operations) during the observation time Tmin.
5.3.8.1 Starters and speed confrol to sewing machines and dental drills: interference generated
during starting and stopping; the speed of the motor to be increased to maximum speed over a
5 s period. For stopping, the control is to be reset quickly to its off position. To determine the
click rate N , the period between two starts shall be 15 s.
5.3.8.2 Starting switches in adding machines, calculating machines and cash registers: intermittent
operation with at least 30 starts per minute. If 30 starts per minute cannot be attained, then
intermittent operation with as many starts per minute as possible in practice must be used.
5.3.8.3 Picture change devices of slide-projectors: to determine the click rate N,operated with four
picture-changes per minute without slides and lamp switched on,
5.3.8.4 Time switches not incorporated in equipment or appliances

If it is possible in normal use to set the switch such that there are more than two switching
operations in any 2 s period then the interference produced shall comply with the limits for
continuous interference.
If more than two switching operations in any 2 s period cannot be obtained, then adjust the
switch to maximize the value of n2 (the number of switching operations-see Sub-
clause 4.2.2.5).The load current shall be 0.1 of the maximum rated value, and unless other-
wise specified by the manufacturer, the load shall consist of incandescent lamps.
When the conditions of the click duration not exceeding 10 ms and N < 5 are fulfilled, there
is no limit on the amplitude of the clicks produced.

For switches employing a manually operated "on- and automatic "off" the average uon"
time (ti seconds) shall be determined from three successive operations while the switch is
adjusted to maximize the value of n2, A rest period of 30 s shall be allowed. The time for a
complete cycle is ( t i + 30) s, thus the click rate N = 120/(tl + 30).

6.1 Artijcial mains network

BSI BS*âOO B â I[. L b 2 4 b b î 009503b 3 m
EN 5 5 014 Page 27
6.1.1 General
An artificial mains V-network is required to provide a defined impedance at high
frequencies across the terminals of the appliance under test, and also to isolate the test circuit
from unwanted radio-frequency signals on the supply mains.
6.1.2 Impedances
The artificial mains V-network shall have an impedance corresponding to a network
consisting of a resistance of 50 C l in parallel with an inductance of 50 p H as specified in
C.I.S.P.R. Publication 16, Figure 5.
6.1.3 Isolation
To ensure that, at the frequency of measurement, the impedance of the mains does not
materially affect the impedance of the artificial mains V-network, a suitable radio-frequency
impedance shall be inserted between the artificial mains V-network and the supply mains.
This impedance will also reduce the effect of unwanted signals existing on the supply mains
(see also Sub-clause 6.2.1).
The components forming this impedance shall be enclosed in a metallic screen directly
connected to the reference earth of the measuring system.
The requirements for the impedances of the artificial mains network shall be satisfied, at
the frequency of measurement, with the isolating network connected.
6.1.4 Connection between the artificial mains V-networkand the measuring set
The requirements of Sub-clauses 6.1.2 and 6.1.3 shall be satisfied when the measuring set is
connected to the artificial mains V-network.
As a rule, a receiver is used having an unbalanced input impedance of 50 0 which,
by means of a coaxial cable of the same impedance, is connected to the artificial mains
V-network. This impedance takes the place of the 50 52 resistance of the 50 52/50 pH im-
pedance of the artificial mains V-network.
6.2 Measurementprocedure
6.2.1 Reduction of interference not produced by the appliance under test
Noise voltages not produced by the appliance under test (arising from the supply mains or
produced by extraneous fields) shall give an indication on the measuring set at least 20 dB
below the lowest voltage to whichit is desired to measure, or shall be not measurable.
The noise voltages not produced by the appliance being tested are measured when the
appliance under test is connected but not operated.
Notes 1. - Realization of this condition may require the addition of a supplementary filter in the supply mains and
the measurements may have to be made in a screened enclosure.
2. - When testing appliances having a continuous rating in excess of 6 A, or a short-term rating in excess of
10 A, this condition may be difficult to achieve. Should the background noise be greater than thaf
specified above, it should be quoted inthe results of measurement.
6.2.2 Disposition of appliances and their connection to the artificial mains network
6.2.2.1 Appliances normally operated without an earth connection and not held in the hand
The appliance shall be placed 40 cm above an earthed conducting surface of at least
2 m X 2 m in size and shall be kept at least 80 cm from any other earthed conducting surface. If
the measurement is made in a screened enclosure, the distance of 40 cm may be referred to one
of the walls of the enclosure.
If the appliance is supplied without a flexible lead, it shall be placed at a distance of 80 cmfrom
theartificial mainsnetworkand connected thereto by aleadoflengthnotgreaterthan 1m.

EN 5 5 014 Page 28
If the appliance is supplied with a flexible lead, the voltages shall be measured at the plug
end of the lead. The length of the lead in excess of the 80 cm separating the appliance from the
artificial mains network shall be folded back and forth parallel to the lead so as to form a
horizontal bundle with a length between 30 cm and 40 cm.
If the length of the mains supply lead exceeds 6 m, its length shall be reduced to I m, or be
replaced by a lead of similar quality with a length of 1 m.
6.2.2.2 Appliances normally operated without an earth connector and held in the hand (Classes O, OZ,
I I and I I I according to IEC Publication 536: Classification of Electrical and Electronic
Equipment with regard to Protection against Electric Shock)
Measurements shall first be made in accordance with Sub-clause 6.2.2.1. Additional
measurements shall then be made using an “artificial hand“, intended to reproduce the effect
of the user’s hand.
The artificial hand shall consist of metal foil wrapped round the case, or part thereof, as
specified below. The foil shall be connected to one terminal (terminal M) of an RC element
(see Figure 7a, page 94) consisting of a capacitor of 220 p F f 20% in series with a resistor of
5 10 Cl & 10%;the other terminal of the RC element shall be connected to the reference earth of
the measuring system.
The general principle to be followed in the application of the “artificial hand” is that
terminal M of the RC element shall be connected to any exposed non-rotating metalwork and
to metal foil wrapped around all handles, both fixed and detachable, supplied with the
appliance. Metalwork which is covered with paint or laquer is considered as exposed
metalwork and shall be directly connected to the RC element.
The following paragraphs a) to d) specify the detailed application of the “artificial hand”:
--`,`,`,`,,,`,,,,`,,,,```,``````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
a ) When the case of the appliance is entirely of metal, no metal foil is needed, but the terminal
M of the RC element shall be connected directly to the body of the appliance.
b) When the case of the appliance is of insulating material, metal foil shall be wrapped round
the handle B (Figure 7b, page 94), and also round the second handle D, if present. Metal
foil 60 mm wide shall also be wrapped round the body C at the point where the iron core of
the motor stator is located or around the gearbox if this gives a higher interference level.
A11 these pieces of metal foil, and the metal ring or bushing A, if present, shall be
connected together and to the terminal M of the RC element.
c) When the case of the appliance is partly metal and partly insulating material, and has insu-
lating handles, metal foil shall be wrapped round the handles B and D (Figure 7b). If the
case is non-metallic at the location of the motor, a metal foil 60 mm wide shall be wrapped
around the body C at the point where the iron core of the motor stator is located, or alter-
natively around the gearbox, if this is of insulating material and a higher interference level
is obtained. The metal part of the body, the point A, the metal foil round the handles B and
D and the metal foil on the body C shall be connected together and to the terminal M of the
RC element.
d) When a Class II appliance has two handles of insulating material A and B and a case of
metal C, for example an electric saw (Figure 7c, page 94), metal foil shall be wrapped
round the handles A and B. The metal foil at A and B and the metal body C shall be
connected together and to terminal M of the RC element.
6.2.2.3 Appliances normally required to be operated with an earth connection

The measurements shall be made with the body of the appliance connected to the general
mass of the measuring apparatus.
..-
ElSI ES%irBOO B B Il b 2 4 b b 9 0095.038 7 I
EN 55 014 Page 29
If the appliance is supplied without a flexible lead, it shall be placed at a distance sf 80 crn
from the artificial mains network and connected thereto by a lead of length not greater than
1 m. The connection of the appliance case or frame to the general mass of the measuring
apparatus shall be made by a lead running parallel to the mains lead and of the same length
and at a distance of not more than 10 cm from it.
If the appliance is supplied with a flexible lead, the voltage shall be measured at the plug
end of the lead. The length of lead in excess of the 80 cm separating the appliance from the
artificial mains network shall be folded back and forth parallel to the lead so as to form a
horizontal bundle with a length between 30 cm and 40 cm.
If the length of the mains supply lead exceeds 6 m, its length shall be reduced to 1 m or be
replaced by a lead of similar quality with a length of 1 m.
If this lead includes the earthing conductor, the plug end of the earthing conductor shall be
connected to the general mass of the measuring apparatus. If an earthing conductor is not
included in the flexible lead, the connection to the general mass of the measuring apparatus
shall be made by a lead 80 cm to 1 m long in a manner analogous to that specified above for
appliances supplied without a flexible lead.
6.2.2.4 Appliances having auxiliary apparatus connected at the end of a lead other than the mains
lead
Note. - Regulating controls incorporating semiconductor devices are excluded from this sub-clause, Sub-clause 5.2
applies.
Measurement arrangement
The appliance under test shall be arranged according to Sub-clause 6.2.2.1 with the
following additional requirements:
a) the auxiliary lead shall be folded parallel to the lead to form a horizontal bundle with a
length between 30 cm and 40 cm. If for practical reasons 30 cm to 40 cm cannot be
attained, the shortest practical length shall be used. When the auxiliairy equipment is a
control, the arrangements for its operation must not affect the level of interference;
b) if an appliance having an auxiliary equipment is earthed, no artificial hand shall be

connected. If the appliance itself is made to be held in the hand, the artificial hand shall be
connected to the appliance and not to any auxiliary equipment;
c) if the appliance is not made to be held in the hand, auxiliairy equipment which is not
earthed and is made to be held in the hand must be connected to the artificial hand.
Measurement procedure
In addition to the measurements on the terminals for the mains connection, measurements
are conducted for all other terminals for incoming and outgoing leads (for example control
and load lines) using a probe consisting of a resistance in series with a capacitance having a
rated input impedance of at least 1500 i2 (in the frequency range 0.1 5 MHz to 30 MHz). If the
function of the appliance under test is affected by a too low impedance of the probe its
impedance at 50/60 Hz and at radiofrequencies has to'be increased as needed (for example
15 ki2.in series with 500 PE).
During the measurement, the V-network on the mains lead is maintained in order to
provide a defined termination. The auxiliary apparatus (control, load) is connected to allow
measurements to be made under all provided operating conditions and during interactions
between the appliance and the auxiliairy apparatus. Measurements are conducted both on the
terminals of the appliance and on the auxiliary apparatus,
--`,`,`,`,,,`,,,,`,,,,```,``````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

EN 55 014 Page 30
If the connecting line between appliance and auxiliary apparatus is permanently fixed on
both ends and either shorter than 2 m or shielded, no measurements are necessary, provided
that in the latter case the shielded cable is connected at both ends to the shielding, i.e. metal
housing of the appliance and auxiliary apparatus. Connecting leads exceeding 1 m in length
are arranged as described in Item a). Connecting lines with plug(s) or socket(s) are considered
to be extendable to a length of more than 2 m.
7. Methods of measurement of interference power from mains operated appliances (30 MHz to
300 MHz)
7.1 General
It is generally considered that for frequencies above 30 MHz the disturbing energy
produced by appliances and similar devices is propagated by radiation to the disturbed
receiver.
Experience has shown that the disturbing energy is mostly radiated by the portion of the
mains lead near the appliance. It is therefore agreed to define the disturbing capability of an
appliance as the power it could supply to its mains lead. This power is nearly equal to that
supplied by the appliance to a suitable absorbing device placed around this lead at the
position where the absorbed power is at its maximum.
The measurement is basically a measurement by substitution.
Calibration is accomplished with a standard laboratory-type signal generator having a 50 Cl
output impedance. This impedance choice has been justified theoretically.
7.2 Measurement procedure

The appliance to be tested is placed on a non-metallic table at least 40 cm from other
metallic objects and the mains lead is stretched in a straight line for a distance sufficient to
accommodate the measuring device, and to permit the necessary measuring adjustment of
position for tuning. The measuring device is placed around the mains lead so as to measure a
quantity proportional to the interference power on the line, and present to the appliance an
effective impedance having a resistive component between 100 C2 and 250 0.
It shall also provide adequate attenuation of interference conducted along the mains lead
from the mains supply.
During the measurement, the position of the measuring device shall be adjusted at each test
frequency to obtain a maximum indicated output.
Appendix C describes the method of measurement and calibration.
The measured power is derived by reference to the calibration curve.
7..3 Appliances having auxiliary apparatus connected at the end of a lead other than the mains lead
. a) Measurement arrangement
Auxiliary leads normally extendable by the user, for instance leads with a loose end, or
leads fitted with a plug or socket on one or both ends shall be extended to a length of about
6 m, this being equal to half a wavelength at 30 MHz plus twice the length of the absorbing
clamp - one clamp for measurement and a possible second clamp for additional
isolation.
Any plug or socket which will not pass through the absorbing clamp due to its size shall be
removed.

.e Auxiliary leads permanently connected to the appliance and to the auxiliary apparatus
and:
- shorter than 25 cm shall not be measured;
- longer than 25 cm but shorter than the length of the absorbing clamp shall be extended
to twice the length of the absorbing clamp;
- longer than the absorbing clamp shall be measured in the original status.
Note I . - When the auxiliary apparatus is not necessary for the use of the appliance (for example a power nozzle
to a vacuum cleaner) and a separate test procedure for the appliance is specified elsewhere in this
publication, only the lead, but not the auxiliary apparatus, should be connected. (However, all
measurements on the main appliance according to Item b) are to be made.)
b) Measurement procedure
--`,`,`,`,,,`,,,,`,,,,```,``````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
Measurement of the interference power is made on the mains lead of the main appliance
. using the absorbing clamp in accordance with Clause 7. Any lead connecting the main
appliance to an auxiliary apparatus is disconnected if this does not affect the operation of
the appliance, or is isolated by means of ferrite rings (or an absorbing clamp) close to the
appliance.
Secondly, a similar measurement is made on each lead which is or may be connected to an
o auxiliary apparatus, necessary or not for the operation of the appliance; the current trans-
former of the clamp pointing towards the main appliance. Isolation, or disconnection of
the mains lead and other leads is made according to the first paragraph of this sub-clause.
In addition, measurement is made as above but with the current transformer of the clamp
pointing towards any auxiliary apparatus, unless this auxiliary apparatus is not needed for
the operation of the main appliance and a separate test procedure for it is specified else-
where (no disconnection or isolation of other leads is of course necessary here).
c) Assessment of measuring results

The maximum interference value found at each frequency of measurement when the clamp
is moved along each lead from a position close to the appliance, or auxiliary apparatus
respectively, to a distance of a half-wavelength from it, is the interference power value on
that lead.
8. Methods of measurement of radiated power from equipment with built-in batteries (30 MHz to
300 MHz)
8.1 Measuring site
The measuring site shall be a level area free from appreciable wave-reflecting surfaces.
Indoor sites may be used, but may need special arrangements in order to meet the require-
ments in the upper pa& of the frequency range-for example, a corner reflector added to the
measuring aerial or an absorbing wall behind the appliances under test. The suitability of the
site shall be determined as follows (see Figure 8, page 95).
Two horizontal half-wavelength dipoles (see note below) shall be placed at approximately
the same height h in the order of 1.5 m above the ground and spaced at a distance d in the
order of 3 m. Dipole B shall be connected to a signal generator and dipole A to the input of the
measuring set. The signal generator shall be tuned to give maximum indication on the
measuring set and its output adjusted to a convenient level. The site shall be considered -;.
suitable for the purpose of measurement at the test frequency if the indication on the
measuring set changes by no more than f1.5 dB when dipole B is moved 100 mm in any
direction. The test shall be repeated throughout the frequency range at frequency intervals
small enough to ensure that the site is satisfactory for all measurements.
a
BSI BS*BOO B B Is 1ibZ4bbï 8 0 7 5 0 4 1 7 I
EN 55 014 Page 32
8.2 Measurernent procedure

For each test frequency, the equipment under test and the horizontal half-wavelength
measuring dipole A shall be placed at the distance d and at the height h on non-metallic
supports. The same positions shall be used as when calibrating the test site, but the position of
the receiving aerial may be varied slightly to ensure that it is not located at a minimum caused
by a special combination of radiation pattern and reflections. The dipole shall be normal to a
vertical plane through its centre and that of the equipment. The equipment shall be positioned
so that its longest dimension is firstly horizontal and secondly vertical. In each position, it
shall be rotated 360" in the horizontal plane. The highest reading Y shall be the characteristic
value for the equipment.
With the equipment switched off and removed from the test area, the horizontal half-wave-
length radiating dipole B shall be placed with its centre at the centre of the position formerly
occupied by the equipment and parallel to dipole A. The interference power of the equipment
--`,`,`,`,,,`,,,,`,,,,```,``````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
is defined as the power at the terminals of dipole B when the signal generator is adjusted to
give the same indication on the measuring set as that recorded earlier (Y).
Note. - Shortened dipoles or broadband aerials may be used. Dipole B and any matching unit interposed between
the dipole and the signal generator must be calibrated for power transfer efficiency.
9. Interpretation of C.I.S.P.R. radio interference limit

9.1 Significance of a C.I.S.P.R.limit
9.1. I A C.I.S.P.R. limit is a limit which is recommended to national authorities for incorporation
in national standards, relevant legal regulations and official specifications. It is also recom-
mended that international organizations use these limits.
9.1.2 The significance of the limits for type approved appliances shall be that on a statistical basis
at least 80% of the mass-produced appliances comply with the limits with at least 80% con-
fidence.
In the case of discontinuous interference when the shortened procedure described in Sub-
clause 9.2.2.3 (Clause 3 of Recommendation 46/1) is applied, compliance with the limits on
the 80%-80%basis is not guaranteed.

9.2 Tests shall be made:

9.2,l For appliances producing continuous interference:
9.2.1.1 Either on a sample of appliances of the type using the statistical method of evaluation set out in
Sub-clause 9.3.1.
9.2.1.2 Or, for simplicity's sake, on one item only.
9.2.1.3 Subsequent tests are necessary froin time to time on appliances taken at random from production,
especially in the case referred to in Sub-clause 9.2.1.2. The banning of sales or withdrawal of a type
approval, as a result of a dispute shall be considered only after tests have been carried out in accordance
with Sub-clause 9.2.1.1.
9.2.2 For appliances producing discontinuous interference :
9.2.2.1 Either on a sample of appliances of the type using the statistical method of evaluation set out in
Sub-clause 9.3.2.
9.2.2.2 Or, for simplicity's sake, on one item only.
9.2.2.3 Subsequent tests are necessary from time to time on appliances taken at random from production,
especially in the case referred t o in Sub-clause 9.2.2.2. The banning of sales or withdrawal of a type
approval, as result of a dispute shall be considered only after tests have been carried out in accordance
with Sub-clause 9.2.2.1,
9.3 Statistical assessment of compliance
9.3.1 Test based on the non-central t-distribution.
This test should be performed on a sample of not less than five items of the type, but if, in exceptional
circumstances, five items are not available, then a sample of four or three shall be used.
Compliance is judged from the following relationship:
where:
-
x = arithmetic mean value of the levels of n items in the sample
sn2 = (xn - X)'/(n - 1)
Xn = level of individual item
k = factor derived from tables of the non-central t-distribution which ensures with 80 % confidence that 80 or
more of the production is below the limit; the value of k depends on the sample size ti and is stated below.

EXAMPLE OF A DEVICE AND ITS APPLICATION FOR THE MEASUREMENT

O F INTERFERENCE FROM MAINS POWERED APPLIANCES AS SPECIFIED
IN CLAUSE 7
For the historical background to this method of measurement of the interference power produced
by electrical household and similar appliances in the v.h.f. range, a reference is given in C.I.S.P.R.
Publication 16, Appendix S.
The general method is shown in the upper part of Figure 9, page 96. The mains lead B is
connected directly from the appliance under test A to the mains supply. C is a current transformer
or current probe placed around the mains lead which provides an output voltage proportional to
the resultant current in the lead. D and E are ferrite tubes of series of ferrite rings which respectively
surround the mains lead and the screened lead to the measuring instrument. A satisfactory device
covering the frequency range 40 MHz to 300 MHz has been constructed using 56 rings of ferrite for
D and 60 similar rings for E, as shown in the lower part of Figure 9. Also, the current transformer C
is made of three such rings encircled by a single turn of screened wire. C and D are mounted in fixed
relative position as close together as convenient, in such a way that the distance ( d ) can be varied.
Both D and E serve to load their respective cables and to attenuate currents flowing along them.
Notes 1. - If the h.f. isolation between mains supply and the input of the measuring device on the side of the appliance
appears to be insufficient, a fixed ferrite absorber F should be placed along the mains lead at a distance of about
4 m from the appliance. This improves the stability of the loading impedance and reduces extraneous noise
coming from the mains supply.
2. - When the plug of the measured appliance makes it impossible to position the measuring device at the first
maximum, the second maximum may be used, the lead being extended via connector G. The reading should be
increased by about i dB (see Figure 1O, page 97, curve B).
3. - The straight portion of the mains lead should be about & + 60 cm in order to allow at any time the posi-
2
tioning of the measuring device. (A,,, is the wavelength corresponding to the lowest frequency at which
measurements are to be made.)
4. - When calibrating the measuring device, it is assembled as described in Sub-clause 7.2, except that the mains lead
is replaced by an insulated wire of about I mmz to 2 mm2 effective cross-section, and the end normally connected
to the appliance is connected instead to the centre pin of a connector arranged to feed through the wall of a
screened enclosure. A generator with 50 SZ output impedance is connected to the other end of the connector
through a 50 SZ attenuator having an attenuation of at least 10 dB (see Figure 10).
The measuring device is then positioned for maximum indication. From the generator output indication and
attenuator setting, a calibration curve can be drawn in terms of the available power at the output of the attenu-
ating pad.
5 . - Method used to establish the calibraíion curve shown in Figure 10
The calibration described in Note 4 may be assumed to be a measurement of the insertion loss of a quadripoie.
The input of the two-port is effectively at the coaxial terminai in the wall of the screened room and the output is at
--`,`,`,`,,,`,,,,`,,,,```,``````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
the input of the measuring receiver.

(As a precaution, to avoid possible spurious effects of mismatch in the cable, a 10 dB attenuator is inserted before
the coaxial connector.) When the switch S is in the position shown in Figure 10, a signai is injected and the
receiver indication is noted. When the absorbing device is adjusted for maximum response, the attenuation
position A , of the generator is noted. The generator is then connected directly to the receiver and the attenuator is
adjusted to A2 to give the same reference reading.
The insertion loss shown in Figure i0 is given by:
( A , - A2 - 10 dB) (Curve A, first maximum).
It can be shown that if the generator and receiver have internal resistances of 50 SZ respectively, and if the
insertion loss of the measuring device (after the i0 dB attenuator) is 17 dB, the indication on the receiver
expressed in dB(pV) has the same numerical value as the available power expressed in dB(pW) at the output of
the signal generator. This is the reason for the correction scale shown in Figure 10. The correction scale gives the
factor in decibels to be added to the indication of the receiver in dB(pV) to convert into power dB(pW).

6. - Specialprocedure f o r the measurement of interference sources producing discontinitous interference

When the interference source produces discontinuous interference in short bursts irregularly separated by
intervals up to 1 min or more, it is practically impossible to place the clamp at the proper position by using levels
produced by that source.
However, the difficulty can easily be avoided by exciting the arrangement consisting of the interference source
and mains lead system by means of an auxiliary continuous source of small dimensions weakly coupled in the
vicinity of the interference source as shown in Figure 1 i, page 97.

APPENDIX D
GUIDANCE NOTES FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF DISCONTINUOUS
INTERFERENCE
Dl. General
These guidance notes do not purport to interpret the provisions of this publication, but are
intended to guide the user through the rather complex procedure, thereby facilitating the
measurement of discontinuous interference.
DI. 1 For the purpose of this measurement, appliances may be divided into two broad categories
as follows:
A) those which generate discontinuous interference but do not generate continuous inter-
ference;
B) those which generate both types of interference.
The two broad classifications may be further divided as follows:
a) appliances in which the assessment of discontinuous interference may be made without the
use of a measuring receiver, for instance by the use of an oscilloscope connected to an arti-
ficial mains V-network (see Sub-clause D2.3);
b) appliances for which the use of the C.I.S.P.R. measuring receiver with its weighted
response is necessary;
c) appliances for which relaxation of the limits is specified under certain conditions (see Sub-
clauses 4.2.2.6,4.2.3and 4.2.4).
D1.2 The flow diagram shown in Figure 12, page 99, gives a simplified guide to the measurement
of discontinuous interference.
Discontinuous interference is subjectively less disturbing in the audio output of sound
broadcast receivers and in the video and audio outputs of television receivers compared with
continuous interference, because it generally occurs in bursts. Thus the subjective effect is
dependent upon the spacing of these bursts which is related to the click rate N(see Sub-clause
4.2.2.5).Therefore, there are a number of relaxations on the limits applied to household appli-
ances for discontinuous interference.
During the measurements the appliances shall be operated as prescribed in Clause 5. To

determine the click rate N (see Sub-clause 4.2.2.5) by the method of counted clicks, set the
receiver attenuators so that an input signal equal in amplitude to the limit for continuous
interference produces a mid-scale deflection on the meter and count the number of disturb-
ances (of duration less than 200 ms) which cause a greater deflection during the observation
time (see Sub-clause 4.2.2.4).
For certain appliances (see Sub-clause 4.2.4.6), the click rate N is determined from the
number of switching operations (see Sub-clause 4.2.2.3)of the contacts which are causing the
interference.
The application of the formula 20 logia-
30 (where N is the click rate) allows a relaxation in
N
the limit of 6 dB for each reduction of Nin half the value (see Sub-clause 4.2.2.6).
Further relaxations for specific appliances are detailed in Sub-clause 4.2.4.
The value of N determined is to be used in the formula 20 logia- to calculate the permitted
N
(relaxed) limits (see Sub-clause 4.2.2.6). The receiver attenuators shall then be set for the

permitted (relaxed) limit in a manner similar to that already described, and the number of
disturbances (duration less than 200 ms) which exceed the permitted (relaxed) limit during the
same observation time shall be counted.
The upper quartile method shall then be applied to the results to determine compliance (see
Appendix B).
In general the measurement of discontinuous interference requires the determination of its
amplitude and duration characteristics as well as the spacing between various bursts of
discontinuous interference, Moreover, in order to determine whether equipment satisfies the
appropriate interference limits it is necessary to classify the discontinuous interference in
accordance with the following basic parameters:
a) Relative amplitude of discontinuous interference - is it above the limit of continuous
interference and, subsequently, is it above the permitted limit of discontinuous inter-
ference?
b) Duration of discontinuous interference- is it less than 10 ms, is it greater than 10 ms but
less than 200 ms, is it greater than 200 ms?
c) Spacing between bursts of discontinuous interference (for instance counted clicks) - is it
less than 200 ms, is it greater than 200 ms, is it such that more than two bursts occur in any
2 s period?
d ) Rate of discontinuous interference (click rate N) - what is the number of bursts of discon-
tinuous interference per minute, is it greater than 30, are there more than two clicks in 2 s,
is it less than 30 but greater than 5, is it less than 5 but greater than 0.2, is it less than 0.2?
The measurement of these basic parameters is described in Clause D2.

Special precautions have to be taken when discontinuous interference has to be measured
in the presence of continuous interference as the latter may influence the discontinuous inter-
ference measurement to a limited extent. In such circumstances the i.f. reference level (see
Sub-clause D2.1) has to be increased by an appropriate amount. In practice this may be
achieved in any convenient manner providing the required result is obtained, for instance
connecting an attenuator at the i.f. output of the measuring receiver.
Interference measurements are performed using the measuring receiver specified in Section
One of C.T.S.P.R. Publication 16 and the artificial mains V-network and absorbing clamp,
specified in Section Two of Publication 16, in conjunction with a (storage) oscilloscope or the
disturbance analyzer for the automatic measurement and assessment of the measuring results
according to Clause 30 and Appendix R of C.I.S.P.R. Publication 16.
D2. Measurement of the basic parameters

D2.1 Level setting of r$ input attenuator
For the measurement and evaluation of discontinuous interference the r.f. input attenuator
of the measuring receiver is adjusted to the position which causes a zero dB meter indication
when a sinusoidal signal with a level equal to the relevant interference level for continuous
interference is applied to the r.f. input of the measuring receiver.
Note. - Other calibration sources may be used (for instance 100 Hz pulses). However, due account should be taken
of the C.I.S.P.R.weighting factor.
The i.f. signal level corresponding with the above-mentioned zero dB meter indication is
defined as the i.f, reference signal level.
D2.2 Amplitude
The amplitude of the discontinuous interference is the weighted reading of the measuring
receiver to Section One of C.I.S.P.R. Publication 16.

BSI BS*dOO B B I1 b Z 4 b b ï 0 0 9 5 0 5 1 T O
EN 55 014 Page 42
The amplitude can also be measured with an analogue circuit connected to the i.f. output of
the measuring receiver simulating the electrical and mechanical properties of the detector and
indicating instrument, respectively.
In the case of close successive bursts of discontinuous interference the indicating
instrument may show only one deflection exceeding the zero dB reference indication. It is
then considered that each single burst exceeds the zero dB indication. The durations of those
different bursts are investigated according to the procedure given in Sub-clause D2.3.
D2.3 Duration and spacing
The duration and spacing of the interference is measured at the i.f. output of the measuring
receiver either with a (storage) oscilloscope or the disturbance analyzer. For the determination
of the duration and spacing of counted clicks only that part of the discontinuous interference
exceeding the i.f. reference signal level (see Sub-clause D2.1) and exceeding the relevant
weighted response of the C.I.S.P.R. receiver (see Sub-clause D2.2) is considered.
Duration measurements may also be performed on the mains supply current circuit of the
device under test by connecting the oscilloscope to the artificial mains V-network provided
that this will lead to the same results as obtained from measurements performed at the i.f.
output of the measuring receiver. In this case, the voltage at the mains frequency shall be
attenuated sufficientry.
Noie. - Owing to the limited bandwidth of the measuring receiver the shape and possibly the duration of the discon-
tinuous interference may be changed. It is therefore recommended that the simple oscilloscope artificial
mains V-network measuring combination be used only when the %o amplitude limit" relaxation applies (see
Sub-clause 4.2.4.2) that is to say the duration of each counted click is less than 10 ms and the click rate N is
not more than 5. Whenever the amplitude and the duration of a disturbance has to be taken into account it is
recommended that a C.I.S.P.R. receiver be used.
D2.4 Rate
The rate of discontinuous interference is called the click rate N, where N is either the
number of counted clicks per minute or the number of switching operations per minute multi-
plied by a factor "f" (see Sub-clause 4.2.2.5 and Table IV of Appendix A). N is determined
during the observation time ?"(see Sub-clause 4.2.2.4).
D3. Measurement of discontinuous interference
--`,`,`,`,,,`,,,,`,,,,```,``````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
D3.1 Applying an oscilloscope
The appliance to be tested is connected to an artificial mains V-network for the frequency
range 0.15 MHz to 30 MHz or the absorbing clamp is inserted for the frequency range 30 MHz
to 300 MHz. The measuring receiver is connected to the artificial mains V-network or the
absorbing clamp as appropriate and an oscilloscope is connected to the i.f. output of the
measuring receiver. The cut-off frequency of the oscilloscope shall be not lower than the inter-
mediate frequency of the measuring receiver.
The triggering of the oscilloscope shall be adjusted to the i.f. reference signal level (see Sub-
clause D2.1).
Only those disturbances causing the meter of the measuring receiver to exceed the zero dB
value (with the attenuators set as specified in Sub-clause D2.1) shall be evaluated.
It is recommended that for initial measurement of the duration and spacing of discon-
tinuous interference the time base of the oscilloscope be set such that the whole display width
is not less than 2 s.

BSI BS%dOO 88 IbZ4bb9 0095052 I
EN 55 014 Page 43
0 If at the end of a 2 s interval or at the beginning of the next 2 s interval more than one click
is observed (see Sub-clause 4.2.3.2) it is recommended that, in order to check the requirement
“not occurring more frequently than twice in any 2 s”, the measurement be repeated.at a
higher time base frequency. In this way closely spaced successive clicks can be analyzed.
The following time bases shall be used for further evaluating the duration of and spacing of
discontinuous interference
- for disturbances with duration < 10 ms: time base 1 ms/cm to 5 ms/cm;
- for disturbances with duration > 10ms but <200 ms: time base 20 ms/cm to 100 ms/cm;
- for disturbances at intervals of about 200 ms: time base 100 ms/cm.
Notes I . - Such time bases make possible visual evaluation to an accuracy of approximately 5%, which aligns with
the 5%accuracy specified for the disturbanceanalyzer (see C.I.S.P.R.Publication 16, Clause 30).
2. - For assessment of each of the criteria mentioned above it is recommended that observations be carried out
for at least 40 counted clicks or switching operations. It should be appreciated that if a particular criterion
is assessed only once it must be assumed that the appliance always displays the same characteristics.
When storage oscilloscopes are used care shall be taken to apply the correct writing speed
otherwise the peaks of the pulses may not be completely displayed.
All conditions allowing the application of the discontinuous interference limits shall be met
before the discontinuous interference limits can be applied using the formula specified in
Sub-clause 4.2.2.6, that is to say the limit for continuous interference is increased by an
amount:
44 dB (N < 0.2)

D3.2 Applying a disturbance analyzer

The analyzer shall be connected to the i.f. output of the measuring receiver. The analyzer/
receiver combination shall be adjusted in accordance with the instructions supplied and the
performance checks specified in Clause 30 of C.I.S.P.R. Publication 16 shall be carried out.
The appliance to be tested is connected to an artificial mains V-network for the frequency
range O. 15 MHz to 30 MHz or an absorbing clamp is inserted for the frequency range 30 MHz
to 300 MHz. The measuring receiver is connected to the artificial mains V-network or the
absorbing clamp as appropriate. The analyzer thus set up, automatically evaluates the discon-
--`,`,`,`,,,`,,,,`,,,,```,``````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
tinuous interference generated by the appliance. The analyzer will automatically indicate
during evaluation, whether the appliance generates continuous interference above the
continuous interference limit, or whether the conditions allowing the application of the
discontinuous interference limits are met. Where the special conditions referred to in Sub-
clauses 4.2.3.5, 4.2.4.3 and 4.2.4.4 apply care shall be taken to determine whether any non-
compliance indicated by the analyzer is valid.
If the discontinuous interference limits are to be applied to the appliance, the formula
specified in Sub-clause 4.2.2.6 is used, that is to say the limit for continuous interference is
increased by an amount:

Compliance with the permitted limit (calculated above) is assessed using the upper quartile

deemed to comply with the limit if not more than a quarter of the counted clicks or disturb-
ances produced by switching operations are higher than the permitted limit.

clause 9.3 below.
9.2.1.2 For simplicity, on one item only (see Sub-clause 9.2.1'3).
9.2.1.3 Subsequent tests from time to time on items taken at random from the production are
necessary especially in the case of Sub-clause 9.21.2.
9.2.1.4 In the case of controversy involving the possible withdrawal of a type approval, with-
drawal shaI1 be considered only after tests on an adequate sample in accordance with Sub-
clause 9.2.1.1.
9.2.2 For appliances producing discontinuous interference:
9.2.2.1 On one item only.
9.2.2.2 Subsequent tests from time to time on an item taken at random from the production are
necessary.
9.2.2.3 In the case of controversy with regard to a type approval test, the following shortened
procedure is applied:
If the first item is measured and fails, three additional items shall be measured at the same
frequency or frequencies at which the first item failed.
The three additional items are judged according to the same requirements as applied to the
first item.
If all three additional items comply with the relcvant requirements, the type is approved.
If one or more additional items do not comply, the type is rejected.

Add at the end of the existing text the following new paragraphs:
Continuous interference may be' either broadband, caused by switching devices such as mechanical
switches, commutators, and semiconductor regulators, or may be narrowband, caused by electronic
control devices such as microprocessors.
Broadband interference is measured with a measuring receiver including a quasi-peak detector as
described in Section One of CISPR Publication 16 (1977).
Narrowband interference is measured with a CISPR measuring receiver in which the quasi-peak detector
is replaced by an average detector. The average detector shali comply with Clause 23 of CISPR
Publication 16.
Note. -The limits for narrowband interference are tentative and may be relaxed or restricted after a period of
experience.

C.I.S.P.R. Publication 16 (1977).
Narrowband interference i s measured with a C . I . S . P. R. measuring
receiver in which t h e quasi-peak detector i s replaced by a n average
detector. T h e average detector shall comply w i t h Clause 23 of
C.1,S.P.R. Publication 16.

- Amendment 1 to EN 55014, which is herewith
withdrawn, and
- the results of the parallel voting procedure on IEC
documents CISPR/F (Central Office) 44 to 50.
The documents which received a majority support were
ratified by the Technical Board during its 57th meeting
from 12 to 14 September 1988.
Due to a different weighting of the votes, document
CISPR/F (Central Office) 45 was adopted in IEC and was
rejected in CENELEC. Also a repeated voting on a modified
version of this document has led to a negative result.
