EN 55035:2017/A11:2020
IEC/EN 55035 is a new standard and combines the EMC immunity requirements for Information Technology Equipment, consumer electronics such as audio and video equipment, and broadcast equipment within a new multimedia equipment (MME). This standard applies to multimedia equipment (MME) having a rated AC or DC supply voltage not exceeding 600 V. The use of IEC/EN 55035 would be considered part of the requirements needed to show compliance to the EU EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, and is aligned with IEC/EN 55032 for emissions.
This standard will replace the IEC/EN 55024 for Information Technology Equipment and IEC/EN 55020 for consumer electronics. This new standard contains both new tests and modified limit values. Due to technology convergence of the functions of MME, performance criteria shall be determined on a function-orientated basis rather than on an equipment-orientated basis.
A list of the applicable tests that are referenced on IEC/EN 55035 are below:
- IEC 61000-4-2 Electrostatic discharge immunity test
- IEC 61000-4-3 Radiated, radio-frequency, electromagnetic field immunity test
- IEC 61000-4-4 Electrical fast transient/burst immunity test
- IEC 61000-4-5 Surge immunity test
- IEC 61000-4-6 Immunity to conducted disturbances, induced by radio-frequency fields
- IEC 61000-4-8 Power frequency magnetic field immunity test
- IEC 61000-4-11 Voltage dips, short interruptions and voltage variations immunity tests
- IEC 61000-4-20 Emission and immunity testing in transverse electromagnetic (TEM) waveguides
- IEC 61000-4-21 Reverberation chamber test methods
Note that EMC Technologies has recently expanded its scope to include this test standard to our already extensive accreditation scope.
IEC 61000-4-3:2020 Ed 4.0
IEC 61000-4-3: 2020 is applicable to the immunity requirements of electrical and electronic equipment to radiated RF electromagnetic energy. It establishes test levels and the required test procedures. The object of this standard is to establish a common reference for evaluating the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to radiated, radio-frequency electromagnetic fields. The test method documented in this part of the IEC 61000 series describes a consistent method to assess the immunity of an equipment or system against RF electromagnetic fields from RF sources not in the vicinity of the EUT. The test environment is specified in Clause 6.
NOTE Immunity testing against RF sources in close proximity to the EUT is defined in IEC 61000-4-39. Particular considerations are devoted to the protection against radio-frequency emissions from digital radiotelephones and other RF emitting devices.

EN/IEC 62311:2020
EN/IEC 62311:2020—the assessment of electronic and electrical equipment and human exposure restrictions for EM fields from 0 Hz to 300 GHz—will come into effect on July 24, 2020. In comparison to the previous version, this version considers non-uniform fields via spatial averaging of field strength/power density for points on the human body. Devices undergoing the certification process may apply for and use this version only if they are unaffected by the changes in this version of the assessment. The chief revisions are as follows.
For unintentional radiators, the conformity assessment for E and H field emissions must now be made according to the highest internal frequency used within the equipment being tested, for equipment operating with the following criteria:
- If the equipment’s highest internal frequency is <10 kHz, the assessment should be made up to 400 kHz.
- If the equipment’s highest internal frequency is < 108 MHz, the assessment should be made up to 1 GHz.
- If the equipment’s highest internal frequency is between 108 MHz and 500 MHz, the assessment should be made up to 2 GHz.
- If the equipment’s highest internal frequency is between 500 MHz and 1 GHz, the assessment should be made up to 5 GHz.
- If the equipment’s highest internal frequency is above 1 GHz, the assessment should be made up to five times the internal frequency (or 6 GHz, whichever is greater
This document does not specify limits expressed by means of basic restrictions and/or reference levels. Such limits are subject to the applied assessment scheme, for example by means of regional limits.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- clear distinction between intentional and unintentional radiators has been introduced;
- the exposure to non-uniform fields is considered
- the treatment of uncertainty for the assessment procedures has been improved
- various summation regimes are described in Annex A;
- the information from meanwhile published basic standards has been used and hence all informative annexes of the previous edition have been removed.
