45 Introduction
46 The present document is part of the multi-part EMC standard specifying limits and methods of
47 measurement for emissions emanating from wire-line telecommunication networks and
48 immunity of those networks by means of references to harmonised product standards in
49 combination with good engineering practice.
50 The applicability period of this standard is limited to 3 years (from publication date); at the
51 end of this period, the experiences gained from the application of this standard will be
52 reviewed and the requirements changed if judged necessary.

53 1 Scope and object
54 This EMC standard specifies limits and methods of measurement for emissions originating
55 from within powerline telecommunication networks and the immunity of those networks,
56 including their in-premises extensions by references to harmonised product standards in
57 combination with good engineering practice, when installed and operated as intended.
58 This standard covers the frequency range 9 kHz to 400 GHz. To date, it specifies limits and
59 methods of measurement for conducted and radiated disturbances from telecommunication
60 networks in the frequency range 150 kHz to 6 GHz. The assessment of a network needs to be
61 performed only in the frequency ranges where limits are defined.
62 The emission limits set in this standard do not apply to the wanted emissions from embedded
63 radio links within the network.
64 The requirements have been selected so as to ensure that electromagnetic disturbances
65 generated by a network, or parts thereof, operating normally do not exceed a level that could
66 prevent other equipment from operating as intended. Fault conditions of the network are not
67 taken into account.
