FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to
promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic
fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interest in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations
liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the
two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by technical committees on
which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express as nearly as
possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
3) They have the form of recommendations for international use published in the form of standards, technical
reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In
exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical
report of one of the following types:
• type 1, when the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an
International Standard, despite repeated efforts;
• type 2, when the subject is still under technical development or where for any other
reason there is the future but not immediate possibility of an agreement on an International
Standard;
• type 3, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that which
is normally published as an International Standard, for example “state of the art”.
Technical reports of types 1 and 2 are subject to review within three years of publication to
decide whether they can be transformed into International Standards. Technical reports of type
3 do not necessarily have to be reviewed until the data they provide are considered to be no
longer valid or useful.

IEC 1000-2-5, which is a technical report of type 2, has been prepared by sub-committee 77B:
High-frequency phenomena, of IEC technical committee 77: Electromagnetic compatibility.
The text of this technical report is based on the following documents:
Committee draft Report on voting
77B(SEC)122 77B/142/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical report can be found in the report
on voting indicated in the above table.
This document is issued in the type 2 technical report series of publications (according to
G.4.2.2 of part 1 of the IEC/ISO Directives) as a “prospective standard for provisional
application” in the field of electromagnetic compatibility because there is an urgent requirement
for guidance on how standards in this field should be used to meet an identified need.
This document is not to be regarded as an “International Standard”. It is proposed for
provisional application so that information and experience of its use in practice may be
gathered. Comments on the content of this document should be sent to the IEC Central Office.
A review of this type 2 technical report will be carried out not later than three years after its
publication, with the options of either extension for a further three years or conversion to an
International Standard or withdrawal.
Annexes A, B and C are for information only.

Basic EMC publication
1 General
1.1 Scope and object
This section of IEC 1000-2 is a technical report intended for guidance, not as a specification,
for those who are in charge of writing immunity standards for an equipment or system. Its
purpose is to classify electromagnetic environments and help improve the specification of the
immunity requirements of an item containing electrical or electronic parts, and consequently
obtain electromagnetic compatibility. It also gives basic guidance for the selection of immunity
levels. The data are applicable to any equipment, subsystem or system making use of
electromagnetic energy and operating in a specific location as defined by this report. The
environment inside transportation equipment (vehicles, traction, ships, aircraft) is not described
in this report, but their effect on the surrounding environment is included.
It should be noted that the immunity level requirements chosen for the items are not only
inevitably bound to their environment, but also to the requirements of the applications (e.g. for
reliability or safety purposes). That could lead to more stringent requirements than usual.
These levels may also be established for more general purposes such as generic and product
standards, taking into account statistical and economical aspects as well as common
experiences in certain application fields.
1.2 Normative reference
The following normative document contains provisions which, through reference in this text,
constitute provisions of this section of IEC 1000-2. At the time of publication, the edition
indicated was valid. All normative documents are subject to revision and parties to agreements
based on this section of IEC 1000-2 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying
the most recent edition of the normative document indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO
maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.
IEC 50(161): 1990, International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) – Chapter 161: Electro-
magnetic compatibility
1.3 Approach
Classification of the electromagnetic environment is based on the classification or a description
of the electromagnetic phenomena prevailing at typical locations, not on existing test
specifications. However, given a choice among equal possibilities, harmonization with existing
test specifications (if appropriate) will simplify the situation and promote easier acceptance of
the recommendations. The definition of electromagnetic environment in IEC 50(161) makes
reference to “electromagnetic phenomena”. The ter
