ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) –

Part 6-3: Generic standards –

Emission standard for residential,
commercial and light-industrial environments

1 Scope and object

This part of IEC 61000 for EMC emission requir ements applies to el ectrical and elect ronic
apparatus intended for use in residential, commercial and light-industrial environments.

Emission requirements in the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz are covered. No

measurement needs to be performed at frequencies where no requirement is specified.

This generic EMC emission standard is applicable if no relevant dedicated product or product-
family EMC emission standard exists.

This standard applies to apparatus intended to be directly connected to a low-voltage public

mains network or connected to a dedicated DC source, which is intended to interface between
the apparatus and the low-voltage public mains network. This standard applies also to
apparatus which is battery operated or is powered by a non-public, but non-industrial, low-
voltage power distribution system if this apparatus is intended to be used in the locations
described below.

The environments encompassed by this standard are residential, commercial and light-
industrial locations, both indoor and outdoor. The following list, although not comprehensive,
gives an indication of locations that are included:

 – residenti al properties, for example houses, a partments ;

 – retail out lets, for example s hops, sup ermarkets ;
 – business premis es, for example off ices, banks;
 – areas of public ent ertainment, for example c inemas , public bars, dance halls;
 – out door loc ati ons, for example petr ol sta tions, car parks, amusement and sports centr es;
 – light-industrial locations, for example w ork shops, laborator ies, service centres.

Locations that are characterised by being supplied directly at low voltage from the public
mains network are considered to be residential, commercial or light-industrial.

The object of this standard is to define the emission test requirements for apparatus defined
in the scope in relation to continuous and transient, conducted and radiated disturbances.

The emission requirements have been selected so as to ensure that disturbances generated
by apparatus operating normally in residential, commercial and light-industrial locations do
not exceed a level which could prevent other apparatus from operating as intended. Fault
conditions of apparatus are not taken into account. Not all disturbance phenomena have been
included for testing purposes in this standard but only those considered as relevant for the
equipment covered by this standard. These requirements represent essential electromagnetic
compatibility emission requirements.
 

EN 61000-6-3:2007  – 6 –

Requirements are specified for each port considered.

NOTE 1 Safety considerations are not covered by this standard.

NOTE 2 In special cases, situations will arise where the levels specified in this standard will not offer adequate
protection; for example where a sensitive receiver is used in close proximity to an apparatus. In these instances,
special mitigation measures may have to be employed.
NOTE 3 As the requirements in this standard are more stringent than the requirements in IEC 61000-6-4,
equipment fulfilling the requirements of this standard will also comply with the requirements of IEC 61000-6-4.

3.8
d.c. power network
local electricity supply network in the infrastructure of a certain site or building intended for
flexible use by one ore more different types of equipment and guaranteeing continuous power
supply independently from the conditions of the public mains network

NOTE Connection to a remote local battery is not regarded as a DC power network, if such a link comprises only
power supply for a single piece of equipment.

4 Conditions during testing

The equipment under test (EUT) shall be tested in the operating mode producing the largest
emission in the frequency band being investigated, e.g. based on limited pre-tests and
consistent with normal applications. The configuration of the test sample shall be varied to
achieve maximum emission consistent with typical applications and installation practice.

If the apparatus is part of a system, or can be connected to auxiliary apparatus, the apparatus
shall be tested while connected to the minimum representative configuration of auxiliary
apparatus necessary to exercise the ports in a similar manner to that described in CISPR 22.

In cases where a manufacturer's specification requires external filtering and/or shielding

devices or measures that are clearly specified in the user's manual, the measurement
requirements of this standard shall be applied with the specified devices or measures in
place.

The configuration and mode of operation during the measurements shall be precisely noted in
the test report. If the apparatus has a large number of similar ports or ports with many similar
connections, a sufficient number shall be selected to simulate actual operating conditions and
to ensure that all the different types of termination are covered.

The measurements shall be carried out at one single set of parameters within the operating
ranges of temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure specified for the product and at the
rated supply voltage, unless otherwise indicated in t he basic standard.

5 Product documentation

The purchaser/user shall be informed if special measures have to be taken to achieve

compliance, e.g. the use of shielded or special cables.

  – 9  – EN 61000-6-3:2007 

6 Applicability

The application of measurements for emission(s) depends on the particular apparatus, its
configuration, its ports, its technology and its operating conditions.

Measurements shall be applied to the relevant ports of the apparatus according to 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 and justification not to measure
shall be recorded in the test report.

7 Emission requirements

The emission requirements for apparatus covered by this standard are given on a port by port
basis.

Measurements shall be conducted in a well-defined and reproducible manner.

The measurements may be performed in any order.

The description of the measurement, the measurement instrumentation, the measurement

methods and the measurement set-up to be used are given in the standards, which are
referred to in the Table 1.

The contents of the standards referenced in the tables are not repeated here, however
modifications or additional information needed for the practical application of the
measurements are given in this s tandard.

8 Application of limits in tests for conformity of equipment in series production

8.1 Tests shall be made: 

 – either on a sample of equipment of the type usi ng the statist ical method of evaluation set
out in 8.2,
 – or, for simplicity’s sake, on one equipment only.

8.2 Statistically assessed compliance with limits shall be made as follows. 

This test shall be performed on a sample of not less than five and not more than 12 items of
the type. If, in exceptional circumstances, five items are not available, a sample of four or
three shall be used. Compliance is judged from the following relationship:

 x + kS n   ≤  L  

where
 x   is the arithmetic mean of the measured value of n  items in the sample
n
2
S n = 1
n −1 ∑  ( x i − x )²  
i =1

 x n   is the value of the individual item 

 L   is the appropriate limit

 

EN 61000-6-3:2007  – 10 –

k   is the factor derived from tables of the non-central t - distribution which assures with 80 %
confidence that 80 % of the type is below the limit; the value of k   depends on the sample
size n  and is stated below. 

The quantities  x n ,  x , S n  and  L  are expressed logarithmically: dB( µV), dB( µV/m) or dB(pW).

n 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

k 2,04 1,69 1,52 1,42 1,35 1,30 1,27 1,24 1,21 1,20

9 Measurement uncertainty

The results of measurements of emissions from ITE shall reference the measurement
instrumentation uncertainty considerations contained in CISPR 16-4-2.

Determining compliance with the limits in this standard shall be based on the results of the
compliance measurement, not taking into account measurement instrumentation uncertainty.

However measurement uncertainty of the measurement instrumentation and its associated

connections between the various instruments in the measurement chain shall be calculated
and both the measurement results and the calculated uncertainty shall appear in the test
report.
