SIST IEC 60050-161:1999/A6:2022 – International Electrotechnical Vocabulary: Electromagnetic Compatibility Amendment 6
Overview
SIST IEC 60050-161:1999/A6:2022 is an official amendment to the International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV), specifically Part 161 focused on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this amendment updates terminology related to electromagnetic disturbances and their effects on electrical equipment. It ensures that technical language remains precise and consistent for professionals and stakeholders in electrical engineering and EMC fields worldwide.
The amendment clarifies definitions and introduces terminological refinements that align with the latest understanding and technologies in electromagnetic compatibility. It contains key updates such as revised terms for spurious frequency and spurious response rejection ratio-both critical concepts in EMC testing and compliance.
Key Topics
Spurious Frequency:
Defined as the frequency of an electromagnetic disturbance that causes an unintended response in electrical equipment. This definition is essential for understanding interference phenomena in receivers and other devices. The amendment specifies mathematical relationships for determining spurious frequencies based on local oscillator and intermediate frequencies.Spurious Response Rejection Ratio:
This term describes the ratio between the signal level at a spurious frequency that produces a specified output power and the level of the intended (wanted) signal producing the same output power. It quantifies the ability of equipment to reject interference from spurious signals.Terminology Maintenance:
The amendment is based on rigorous review and approved change requests by IEC Technical Committee 1, specializing in vocabulary standardization, reflecting evolving technical consensus.Bilingual Presentation:
Definitions are provided in English and French, supporting international application and harmonization.
Applications
Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing:
Precise definitions on spurious frequencies and response rejection ratios provide test engineers with the foundation to accurately assess equipment immunity and emissions, essential for EMC compliance certifications.Design of Electronic Equipment:
Engineers designing receivers and communication devices use these terms to evaluate and mitigate unwanted electromagnetic disturbances, enhancing device reliability and performance.Standardization and Regulatory Compliance:
Regulatory bodies and standard developers reference this vocabulary amendment to ensure clarity in EMC-related standards, regulations, and certification processes across multiple industries.Research and Development:
Researchers analyzing electromagnetic interference phenomena rely on standardized terminology to communicate findings and develop innovative EMC solutions.
Related Standards
IEC 60050 (International Electrotechnical Vocabulary series):
The parent series providing unified terminologies for all electrical, electronic, and related technologies.IEC 61000 Series:
EMC standards focused on testing and measurement techniques applicable to various types of electrical and electronic equipment.ISO/IEC Directives:
Guidelines for preparing international standards, including vocabulary and terminology consistency supported by IEC 60050 amendments.
Practical Value
This amendment enhances the precision and usability of the international electrotechnical vocabulary related to EMC-an area critical for the increasingly complex electromagnetic environments of modern electronic systems. By adopting these definitions, manufacturers, testing labs, and regulatory agencies achieve clearer communication, improved product interoperability, and enhanced compliance with international EMC requirements.
Keywords: IEC 60050-161, electromagnetic compatibility, EMC terminology, spurious frequency, spurious response rejection ratio, electrotechnical vocabulary, IEC standards, EMC compliance, electromagnetic disturbances, electrical engineering vocabulary.
