1 Scope
This European Standard for EMC emission requirements applies to professional audio, video, audio-visual
and entertainment lighting control apparatus as defined in 3.6 intended for use in the environments described
in Clause 4. This includes the digital apparatus defined in 3.5 and sub-assemblies, see 6.3.
Disturbances in the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz are covered, but requirements are not set over the
whole of that range. See Note 5.
NOTE 1 In Annex D, information is included on infra-red radiation in the wavelength range 0,7 µm to 1,6 µm.
Fault conditions of source or victim apparatus are not taken into account. Apparatus as defined in 3.4, 3.5
and 3.6 may be operated with any source of power.
NOTE 2 Sources of power may include, for example: the public low-voltage supply; private supplies with similar characteristics; a d.c.
source provided specifically for the apparatus; batteries internal to the apparatus; stand-by generators. Some standards may not apply to
private low-voltage supplies.
NOTE 3 In special cases, for instance when highly susceptible apparatus is being used in proximity, additional mitigation measures
may have to be employed to reduce the electromagnetic emission further, below the specified levels.
NOTE 4 Professional-user receiving apparatus may be very sensitive to disturbance; see Annex E.
This European Standard does not apply to
- consumer apparatus,
- apparatus specifically designed for security systems, and
- apparatus designed to radiate electromagnetic energy for radio communications purposes.
NOTE 5 To ensure freedom from interference, manufacturers should consider the characteristics of other equipment likely to be in the
same environment and thus determine whether limitation of emissions in additional frequency ranges is necessary.
The objective of this standard is to define limits and methods of measurement for apparatus defined in the
scope, in relation to continuous and transient, conducted and radiated disturbances. These requirements
represent essential electromagnetic compatibility requirements.

6 Conditions during measurement
6.1 General
The apparatus shall be operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The measurements shall
be made in the operating mode producing the largest emission of the type being measured, consistent with
normal operation. An attempt shall be made to maximize the emission by varying the configuration of the test
sample (see also 6.3).
The configuration and mode of operation during measurement shall be precisely noted in the test report. If
the apparatus is part of a system, or can be connected to auxiliary apparatus, then the apparatus shall be
tested while connected to the minimum configuration of auxiliary apparatus which is typical of normal use.
Where an apparatus has more than one input or output of a particular type, the number of inputs and outputs
connected to auxiliary apparatus during the measurements shall be the minimum which will enable the
apparatus to perform its intended function.
Measurements shall be performed in well-defined and reproducible conditions for each type of disturbance.
The measurements shall be carried out one by one in sequence, the sequence being optional. Each
measurement, or series of associated measurements of one phenomenon, shall be carried out under a single
set of environmental conditions within the specified operating environmental range of the apparatus and at its
rated supply voltage, unless otherwise specified in this standard or the relevant Basic Standard.
NOTE The methods of measurement are given in the standards (Basic Standards, where they exist) which are referred to in Table 1.
Any necessary modifications or additional information needed for the practical application of the measurements are specified in this
standard.

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------

SIST EN 55103-1:2010
EN 55103-1:2009 - 8 -
6.2 Ports
Measurements shall be made on the relevant ports of the apparatus in accordance with Table 1.
Measurements shall only be carried out if ports of the relevant type exist. Where the apparatus has one or
more groups of similar ports (including different groups having the same port type as defined in this standard)
then at least one example from each group shall be tested.
6.3 Sub-assemblies
If the apparatus contains sub-assemblies which are provided with connectors so that they can be moved
about within it, an attempt shall be made to maximise the emission by moving the sub-assemblies, using only
configurations specified (see 6.1), or not prohibited, by the manufacturer.
Sub-assemblies intended to be housed in a frame shall be measured while installed in a frame in the manner
specified by the manufacturer. The frame shall be specified by the manufacturer and shall be populated with
a typical collection of sub-assemblies.
A subassembly of the types described in the above paragraphs which has been measured in this way and
has satisfied the relevant requirements of this standard, shall be deemed to conform to this standard when
supplied separately, provided that the manufacturer’s documentation states the conditions under which the
sub-assembly conforms to this standard.
6.4 Racks and cabinets
The combining of items of apparatus individually conforming to this standard into a rack or cabinet does not
give rise to additional requirements or a requirement for additional testing.
6.5 Special conditions of measurement for apparatus containing audio amplifiers
Except for phenomena 2 and 3, for which special conditions are specified (see Annex A), apparatus
containing audio amplifiers which draw a supply current which varies by less than 15 % of the maximum
current with input signals between no signal and rated source e.m.f. (as defined in EN 60268-3) shall be
tested with no input signal. Other audio amplifiers shall be tested under the following conditions:
- rated supply voltage;
- normal position of the user controls;
- widest flat bandwidth response of audio signal path;
- input signals and rated load conditions as given in EN 60268-3.
7 Documentation for the purchaser/user
7.1 Documentation which shall be supplied to the purchaser/user
The manufacturer shall state the environments for which the apparatus has achieved conformity and in which
it is intended to be used. In addition, the manufacturer shall state
- the average half-cycle r.m.s. inrush current, on initial switch-on,
- the average half-cycle r.m.s. inrush current after a supply interruption of 5 s.
These currents are determined in accordance with EN 61000-3-3 and Annex B. See also Annex F.
The manufacturer shall state any special measures that may have to be taken by the purchaser or user; for
example:
- the use of screened or special cables;
- external measures to reduce the inrush current after the 5 s interruption.

7.2 Documentation which shall be available to the purchaser/user upon request
A list of auxiliary apparatus, connectors and cables which, when used in conjunction with the apparatus,
conform to the emission requirements of this standard shall be made available.
8 Emission limits
Apparatus within the scope of this standard shall comply with the requirements of this standard independently
of the nature of its source of power. Some example sources are listed in Clause 1. It may be determined from
consideration of the electrical characteristics and usage of a particular apparatus that some of the
measurements are inappropriate and therefore unnecessary. In such a case it is required that the decision
not to measure be recorded in the test report. The emission limits established by this standard are shown in
Table 1.

quarter of the limits shown in Table 1.
A.4.2 Apparatus intended for rack mounting
For apparatus intended for rack mounting; top, bottom, back and side faces only are measured.
