2Scope / Description
Scope
IEC 61000-4-3 specifies immunity requirements for electrical and electronic equipment when exposed to radiated electromagnetic energy. It establishes test levels and required test procedures with the objective of defining uniform principles for assessing the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment to radiated radio-frequency electromagnetic fields.
This part of the IEC 61000 series documents a comprehensive test method for evaluating the immunity of equipment or systems to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields originating from nearby radiating sources. The test environment is specified in Clause 6. The test methods defined in IEC 61000-4-3 are intended to assess the effects of electromagnetic radiation on the equipment under test.
It should be noted that imitating and measuring electromagnetic radiation is not sufficiently accurate for the quantitative determination of effects. The primary purpose of the test methods defined in this base document is to ensure adequate repeatability of the test configuration and reproducibility of test results across different test sites.
IEC 61000-4-3 is a standalone test method. If alternative test methods are used, compliance with this document cannot be claimed.
This international standard has been adopted identically in Europe as EN IEC 61000-4-3:2020.
