Overview
EN 55011:2016/A11:2020 is a CENELEC amendment to the European standard EN 55011:2016 covering industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) equipment and their radio‑frequency disturbance characteristics - limits and methods of measurement. Prepared by CLC/TC 210 (Electromagnetic Compatibility), Amendment A11 (approved 2019‑11‑27) updates the standard to include an informative Annex ZZ that maps the standard to the essential requirements of Directive 2014/30/EU (EMC Directive) and enables its citation in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: RF disturbance (emission) characteristics of ISM equipment - limits and measurement methods. (ICS 33.100.10)
- Harmonisation: Annex ZZ establishes the relationship between clauses of EN 55011 and the essential requirements of Directive 2014/30/EU, supporting a presumption of conformity when cited in the OJEU.
- Measurement and limits: The amendment references key clauses such as Clause 6 (Limits of electromagnetic disturbances), Clause 7 (Measurement requirements) and Clause 3.19 (Type test).
- Type test caveats: Recognition of a type test as type approval may depend on national/regional regulation; statistical assessment conditions in Annex H are referenced for measurement result evaluation.
- Implementation dates: Amendment A11 was to be implemented nationally by 2020‑11‑27, with conflicting national standards to be withdrawn by 2022‑11‑27.
- Warnings: Presumption of conformity applies only while the standard remains cited in the OJEU; other EU legislation may still apply to covered products.
Practical applications
Who uses EN 55011:2016/A11:2020:
- Manufacturers of ISM equipment (industrial, scientific, medical) for designing products to meet RF emission limits.
- Compliance engineers and EMC specialists preparing test plans, conformance reports and EU Declarations of Conformity.
- Test laboratories performing RF emission measurements and type testing in accordance with the measurement requirements of the standard.
- Regulatory authorities and conformity assessment bodies referencing harmonised standards for market access in the EU/EFTA region.
Practical value:
- Provides a standardized route to demonstrate EMC compliance of ISM equipment.
- Enables consistent measurement methods and interpretation of emission limits.
- Supports legal conformity when the standard is harmonised and cited in the OJEU.
Related standards
- EN 55011 is part of the EMC family of standards and is used alongside other EMC and product‑specific standards referenced in national and European regulatory frameworks. Check the OJEU list for current harmonised standards and any normative cross‑references.
