Each part is further subdivided into sections which are to be published either as International Standards or as technical reports. T
his section is an International Standard which gives immunity requirements and test procedures related to radiated, radio-frequency, electromagnetic fields.


ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
Part 4-3: Testing and measurement techniques -Radiated, radio-frequency, electromagnetic field immunity test


Scope and object
This section of IEC 61000-4 is applicable to the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment to radiated electromagnetic energy. It establishes test levels and the required test procedures.


The object of this section is to establish a common reference for evaluating the performance of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields. Testing is not required at frequencies other than those specified in clause 5 of this standard.


The possible future introduction of new radio services which may degrade the performance of electrical and electronic equipment may result in test levels being specified in other frequency bands.


This section deals with immunity tests related to general purposes. Particular considerations are devoted to the protection against radiofrequency emissions from digital radio telephones. NOTE Test methods are defined in this section for measuring the effect that electromagnetic radiation has on the equipment concerned. The simulation and measurement of electromagnetic radiation is not adequately exact for quantitative determination of effects. The test methods defined are structured for the primary objective of establishing adequate repeatability of results at various test facilities for qualitative analysis of effects.


This section does not intend to specify the tests to be applied to particular apparatus or systems. Its main aim is to give a general basic reference to all concerned product committees of the IEC. The product committees (or users and manufacturers of equipment) remain responsible for the appropriate choice of the tests and the severity level to be applied to their equipment.
