Section 3 Test Requirements

A. 1.

General Choice of equipment under test

Example of use: Equipment subject to the Rules for Classification and Construction except for the tests "Electrostatic Discharge, Conducted fast transients (burst) and Conducted slow transients (surge) ". performance criterion B: The EUT shall continue to operate as intended after the test. No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed, as defined in the relevant equipment standard in the technical specification published by the manufacturer. During the test, degradation or loss of function or performance which is self-recoverable is, however, allowed, but no change of actual operating state or stored data is allowed. Example of use: Equipment not subject to the Rules for Classification and Construction and the tests "Electrostatic Discharge, Conducted fast transients (burst) and conducted slow transients (surge)" for equipment subject to the Rules. performance criterion C: Temporary degradation or loss of function or performance is allowed during the test, provided the function is self-recoverable, or can be restored at the end of the test by the operation of the controls, as defined in the relevant equipment standard and in the technical specification published by the manufacturer: Example of use: Equipment not subject to the Rules for Classification and Construction.

In the case of series-manufactured products, the equipment under test (EUT) shall be taken from the current production cycle. The choice of equipment under test shall be agreed with GL. If the equipment under test is a prototype, GL reserve the right to carry out subsequent comparative tests on series-manufactured products. 2. Test sequence

There is no pre-defined test sequence. Before the start of the tests, the manufacturer shall determine the sequence and notify GL accordingly. All the tests required for the product shall be performed on one equipment under test. Any alternative arrangements are subject to consent. 3. Procedure of immunity tests to electromagnetic environment

For these tests the EUT shall conform to its normal operational configuration, mounting and earthing arrangements and shall operate under mentioned test conditions. Particular interfaces of the EUT with the external electromagnetic environment are referred to as ports. The physical boundary of the EUT through which electromagnetic fields may radiate or impinge is the enclosure port. Differential tests (line/line) are those applied between electrical power, signal and control lines. Common mode tests (line/earth) are those applied between groups of lines and a common reference, normally earth. For the tests the results are evaluated against performance criteria relating to the operating conditions and functional specifications of the EUT, and defined as follows: performance criterion A: The EUT shall continue to operate as intended during and after the test. No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed, as defined in the relevant equipment standard and in the technical specification published by the manufacturer.

The burst pressure test is deemed to have been passed if the test pressure can be maintained over the test duration without leakage and if no other damage can be detected on the test specimen.

General instructions for test procedure

The emission shall be measured by means of the quasi-peak measuring receivers specified in CISPR 16-1-1. An artificial mains network in accordance with CISPR 16-2 shall be used. The measuring bandwidth in the frequency range 10 kHz to 150 kHz shall be 200 Hz, and in the frequency range 150 kHz to 30 MHz shall be 9 kHz. The power input cables between the AC and DC power ports of the EUT and the artificial mains network shall be screened and not exceed 0,8 m in length. Longer power cords shall be folded into a serpentine-like bundle and not coiled. If the EUT consists of more than one unit with individual AC and/or DC power ports, power ports of identical nominal supply voltage may be connected in parallel to the artificial mains supply network. Measurements shall be made with all measuring equipment and the EUT mounted on, and bonded to, an earth plane. Where provision of an earth plane is not practicable, equivalent arrangements shall be made using the metallic frame or mass of the EUT as the earth reference. 21.4 Test result

The radiation limit at distance 3 m from the enclosure port over the frequency range shall be measured. The quasi-peak measuring receivers specified in CISPR 16-1-1 shall be used. The receiver bandwidth in the frequency ranges 150 kHz to 30 MHz and 156 MHz to 165 MHz shall be 9 kHz, and in the frequency ranges 30 MHz to 156 MHz and 165 MHz to 2 GHz shall be 120 kHz. For frequencies from 150 kHz to 30 MHz measurements shall be made of the magnetic H-field. The correction factor for the antenna shall include the factor + 51,5 dB to convert the magnetic field strength to equivalent electric field strength. For frequencies above 30 MHz measurements shall be made of the electric E-field. The test antenna shall be placed at a distance of 3 m from the EUT. The centre of the antenna shall be at least 1,5 m above the ground plane. The E-field antenna shall be adjusted in height and the EUT shall be placed at the mid-point of a plane orthogonal to the test antenna and be rotated to achieve the maximum emission level. 22.4 Test result

The radio-frequency voltage at the power supply terminals of the EUT shall not exceed the limits shown in Fig. 3.18.

The radiation limit from the enclosure port shall not exceed the limits shown in Fig. 3.19.
