This European Standard gives guidance on the selection, installation, use and maintenance of electrical apparatus used for the direct detection and direct concentration measurement of toxic gases and vapours in workplace atmospheres. The primary purpose of such apparatus is to measure the concentration of a toxic gas or vapour in order to provide an exposure measurement and/or detection and warning of its presence. This European Standard is applicable to apparatus whose primary purpose is to provide an indication, alarm and/or other output function to give a warning of the presence of a toxic gas or vapour in the atmosphere and in some cases to initiate automatic or manual protective actions. It is applicable to apparatus in which the sensor automatically generates an electrical signal when gas is present. This European Standard is not applicable, but may provide useful information, for apparatus — used for the measurement of oxygen, — used only in laboratories for analysis or measurement, — used only for process measurement purposes, — used in car parks or tunnels (fixed apparatus only), — used in the domestic environment, — used in environmental air pollution monitoring, — used for the measurement of combustible gases and vapours related to the risk of explosion. It also does not apply to open-path (line of sight) area monitors. For apparatus used for sensing the presence of multiple gases, this European Standard applies only to the detection of toxic gas or vapour.

This Part 1 of EN 45502 specifies requirements that are generally applicable to ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES. NOTE 1 For particular types of ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES, these general requirements are supplemented or modified by the requirements of particular standards which form additional parts of this European Standard. The tests that are specified in EN 45502 are type tests and are to be carried out on samples of an ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE to show compliance. This Part 1 of EN 45502 is applicable not only to ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES that are electrically powered but also to those powered by other energy sources (for example by gas pressure or by springs). This Part 1 of EN 45502 is also applicable to some non-implantable parts and accessories of the ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES. NOTE 2 The terminology used in this European Standard is intended to be consistent with the terminology of Directive 90/385/EEC. NOTE 3 In this European Standard, terms printed in small capital letters are used as defined in Clause 3. Where a defined term is used as a qualifier in another term, it is not printed in small capital letters unless the concept thus qualified is also defined.

This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for the construction, safety, fitness for purpose, rational use of energy and the marking of a micro combined heat and power appliance; (hereafter referred to as “mCHP appliance”). This European Standard applies to mCHP appliances of types B22, B23, B32, B33, B52, B53, C1, C3, C42, C43 C52, C53, C62, C63, C82, C83 and C9 based on the classifications of CEN/TR 1749: – that use one or more supplied gases of the three gas families at the pressures stated in EN 437, – where the temperature of the heat transfer fluid of the heating system (heating water circuit) does not exceed 105 ºC during normal operation, – where the maximum operating pressure in the - heating water circuit does not exceed 6 bar, - domestic hot water circuit (if installed) does not exceed 10 bar, – which are either intended to be installed indoors or outdoors in a partially protected place, – which are intended to produce hot water either by the instantaneous or storage principle, – which have a maximum heat input (based on net calorific value) not exceeding 70 kW, – which are designed for sealed or open water systems. NOTE 1 For applications where the maximum allowable water temperature exceeds 110 ºC or where volume multiplied by maximum allowable pressure exceeds 50 bar litres, further requirements may be necessary to comply with the essential requirements of Directive 97/23/EC (Pressure Equipment Directive (PED)). NOTE 2 For mCHP appliances with constructions that might not be fully covered by this European Standard or by another specific standard, the risk associated with the alternative construction will be assessed. NOTE 3 This EN includes formulae and methods intended to produce values required by implementation measures of the ErP Directive 2009/125/EC and Labelling Directive 2010/30/EU. NOTE 4 EN 13203-4 will specify the assessment of energy consumption for domestic hot water production of gas combined heat and power appliances (mCHP). This European Standard does not contain the requirements necessary for appliance capable of producing electrical energy without using the thermal energy. This European Standard does not cover all the requirements for mCHP appliances that are intended to be connected to gas grids where the quality of the distributed gas is likely to vary to a large extent over the lifetime of the appliance (see Annex DD).

CISPR 15:2013 applies to the emission (radiated and conducted) of radiofrequency disturbances from: - all lighting equipment with a primary function of generating and/or distributing light intended for illumination purposes, and intended either for connection to the low voltage electricity supply or for battery operation; - the lighting part of multi-function equipment where one of the primary functions of this is illumination; - independent auxiliaries exclusively for use with lighting equipment; - UV and IR radiation equipment; - neon advertising signs; - street/flood lighting intended for outdoor use; - and transport lighting (installed in buses and trains). Excluded from the scope of this standard are: - lighting equipment operating in the ISM frequency bands (as defined in Resolution 63 (1979) of the ITU Radio Regulation); - lighting equipment for aircraft and airports; - and apparatus for which the electromagnetic compatibility requirements in the radio-frequency range are explicitly formulated in other CISPR standards. The frequency range covered is 9 kHz to 400 GHz. This eighth edition cancels and replaces the seventh edition published in 2005, its Amendment 1 (2006) and Amendment 2 (2008). It is a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - inclusion of LED light sources and luminaires, clarification of test supply voltage and frequency, and improvements to clause 5 relating to the application of limits to the various types of lighting equipment covered under the scope of CISPR 15; - introduction of requirements for flashing type emergency lighting luminaires utilizing xenon lamps; - introduction of requirements for neon and other advertising signs; - and clarification of the requirement for radiated disturbances between 30 MHz and 300 MHz in case the operating frequency of the light source is below 100 Hz.

This European Standard provides a general approach for energy efficiency and energy savings calculations with top-down and bottom-up methods. The general approach is applicable for energy savings in buildings, cars, appliances, industrial processes, etc. This European Standard covers energy consumption in all end-use sectors. The standard does not cover energy supply, e.g. in power stations, as it considers only final energy consumption. This European Standard deals with savings on energy supplied to end-users. Some forms of renewable energy "behind-the-meter" (e.g. from solar water heating panels) reduce supplied energy and therefore can be part of the calculated energy savings. Users of the standard should be aware that this renewable energy behind the meter can also be claimed as energy generated. The standard is meant to be used for ex-post evaluations of realised savings as well as ex-ante evaluations of expected savings. This European Standard provides saving calculations for any period chosen. However, short data series may limit the possible periods over which savings can be calculated. The standard is not intended to be used for calculating energy savings of individual households, companies or other end-users.

This European standard specifies the requirements, common methodology and deliverables for energy audits. It applies to all forms of establishments and organisations, all forms of energy and uses of energy, excluding individual private dwellings. This European standard covers the general requirements common to all energy audits. Specific energy audit requirements will complete the general requirements in separate parts dedicated to energy audits for buildings, industrial processes and transportation.

This Part 2-3 of EN 45502 specifies requirements that are applicable to those ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES that are intended to treat hearing impairment via electrical stimulation of the auditory pathways. Devices which treat hearing impairment via means other than electrical stimulation are not covered by this European Standard. The tests that are specified in EN 45502 are type tests and are to be carried out on samples of a device to show compliance. This Part of EN 45502 is also applicable to NON-IMPLANTABLE PARTS and accessories of the devices (see NOTE 1). The electrical characteristics of the IMPLANTABLE PART shall be determined by either the appropriate method detailed in this particular standard or by any other method demonstrated to have an accuracy equal to, or better than, the method specified. In the case of dispute, the method detailed in this particular standard shall apply. NOTE 1 The device that is commonly referred to as an active implantable medical device can in fact be a single device, a combination of devices, or a combination of a device or devices and one or more accessories. Not all of these parts are required to be either partially or totally implantable, but there is a need to specify some requirements of NON-IMPLANTABLE PARTS and accessories if they could affect the safety or performance of the implantable part. NOTE 2 The terminology used in this European Standard is intended to be consistent with the terminology of Directive 90/385/EEC. NOTE 3 In this European Standard, terms printed in small capital letters are used as defined in Clause 3. Where a defined term is used as a qualifier in another term, it is not printed in small capital letters unless the concept thus qualified is also defined.

In the context of the negotiations between the European Standardization Organizations (ESOs) and the European Commission (EC) on the Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA), the EC raised some concerns associated with the EC financing for the mandated work to CEN and CENELEC and the respect of the principles laid down in the Financial Regulations of the European Community. In particular, worries were expressed about the openness and transparency of the procedures for the appointment of those convenors and secretaries in CEN and CENELEC technical bodies who are coming from industry or third organisations other than CEN and CENELEC Members in charge of the respective technical body.

This Guide provides guidance for European Standards’ writers on meeting the requirements of European Commission mandate M/293 to address issues of child safety in standards. Note In the preparation of this guide it is noted that the approach and philosophy utilised in the preparation of standards for products, constructions and services will depend on whether specific levels of qualified supervision are required or not. This Guide does not exclude consideration of hazards where the means of protecting adults are equally effective for children. Generally, however, it does not refer to safety requirements that are not particular to children. The scope of this Guide overlaps with that of guidance in some directives or mandates covering products, constructions or services intended for children, e.g. toys, childcare articles. Guidance for specific products, constructions or services intended for children is more appropriate than this general child safety guidance. This Guide is applicable to existing or potential standards for products, constructions or services that might: - be potentially harmful to children but not adults; or - pose greater risks to children than adults; or - require means of protection for children that are additional or different to those that are effective for adults. This Guide does not consider children with special needs. Where products, constructions or services are subject to regulatory requirements, e.g. European legislation or national laws, these requirements take precedence over any conflicting information given in this Guide.

This standard gives guidance on writing the technical specification for the procurement of equipment for use in electricity generating stations (power stations). This Guide for procurement is not applicable to equipment for use in the nuclear reactor plant area of nuclear power stations. Other possible applications of such equipment have not been considered in the preparation of this Guide. This Guide on cabling systems deals with a wide range of activities and may be used for any or all of these activities by selection of the relevant parts e.g.: - provision of support for cable; - laying of cable; - completion of cable ends; The Guide covers the installation of power cable up to and including 20,8/36 (42) kV and the supply and installation of control and instrumentation cable. The supply of power cable is covered by EN 45510-2-8. The Guide includes the installation of protective conductor cable for earthing and equipotential bonding up to the main earthing busbar(s), but not the below ground earth-electrode network. The equipment covered by this Guide is defined by its function rather than design type. Therefore, the guidance to the specification is stated in performance terms rather than being specified by a detailed description of the equipment to be supplied. This Guide indicates to potential purchasers how their specification should be prepared so that - the equipment type and capacity interfaces correctly with other elements of the systems, - predicted performance is achieved, - ancillary equipment is properly sized, - reliability, availability and safety requirements are achieved, - proper consideration is given to the evaluation process and the quality measures to be applied. This Guide does not determine the type of specification (e.g. detailed, performance, functional) or the extent of supply for any given contract which is normally decided on the basis of the purchaser's project strategy. It does not cover - any commercial, contractual or legal issues which are normally in separate parts of an enquiry, - any allocation of responsibilities which are determined by the contract. This Guide does not prescribe the arrangement of the documents in the enquiry. NOTE As a comprehensive European environmental policy is still under preparation, this Guide does not address the environmental implications of the equipment.

This Part 2-2 of EN 45502 specifies requirements that are applicable to IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATORS and the functions of ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES intended to treat tachyarrhythmia. The tests that are specified in EN 45502 are type tests and are to be carried out on samples of a device to show compliance. This part of EN 45502 is also applicable to some non-implantable parts and accessories of the devices (see Note 1). The characteristics of the IMPLANTABLE PULSE GENERATOR or LEAD shall be determined by either the appropriate method detailed in this particular standard or by any other method demonstrated to have accuracy equal to, or better than, the method specified. In the case of dispute, the method detailed in this Particular Standard shall apply. Any aspect of an ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE intended to treat bradyarrhythmias is covered by EN 45502–2-1 Particular requirements for active implantable medical devices intended to treat bradyarrhythmia (Pacemakers). NOTE 1 The device that is commonly referred to as an ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE may in fact be a single device, a combination of devices, or a combination of a device or devices and one or more accessories. Not all of these parts are required to be either partially or totally implantable, but there is a need to specify some requirements of non-implantable parts and accessories if they could affect the safety or performance of the implantable device. NOTE 2 The terminology used in this European Standard is intended to be consistent with the terminology of Directive 90/385/EEC. NOTE 3 In this European Standard, terms printed in small capital letters are used as defined in Clause 3. Where a defined term is used as a qualifier in another term, it is not printed in small capital letters unless the concept thus qualified is also defined. NOTE 4 Particular requirements for congestive heart failure devices are under consideration. These types of devices are not covered by this standard.

This Technical Report applies to electrical equipment using signals in the frequency range 1,6 MHz to 30 MHz to transmit information on low voltage electrical systems, either on the public supply system or within installations in consumers’ premises. It is a Technical Report covering the different standards for HF Power Line produced by SC205A. It points to related documents about: -frequency bands, coexistence and filters; -limits for the terminal output levels in the operating band; -limits for conducted and radiated disturbance (product & installation EMC); -measurement methods. It does not specify the signal modulation methods nor the coding methods nor functional features. Environmental requirements and tests are not included. The requirements have been selected so as to ensure an adequate level of EMC and EMI for all apparatus (e.g. including residential, commercial, light industrial and industrial premises). The severity levels required by this Technical Report may not cover extreme cases which may occur in any location but with a low probability of occurrence. In special cases situations will arise where the level of disturbances may exceed the levels specified in this Technical Report (e.g. where a hand-held transmitter is used in proximity to an apparatus). In these instances special mitigation measures may be required.

This European Standard (EN) will provide a general methodology for the assessment of the ability to re-manufacture energy related products. This EN will elaborate the assessment and process of re-manufacturability in a horizontal, cross-product way. However, a correct assessment can only be done in a product-specific way, taking into account specific parameters of a specific energy related product.

This European Standard (EN) provides a general methodology for assessing the proportion of recycled material in energy related products.

1.1 The SmartHouse and its components The SmartHouse consists of a large and wide ranging set of many Services, Applications, Equipment, Networks and Systems that act together in delivering the “intelligent” or “connected” home in order to address security and control, communications, leisure and comfort, environmental integration and accessibility. These components are represented by many actors that interact and work together to provide interoperable systems that benefit the home based user in the SmartHouse. Because of this wide ranging variability of the entities in the SmartHouse, there is a very high level of potential complexity in finding the optimal solution for any particular SmartHouse. The main actors that influence the SmartHouse are the consumers (customers, subscribers, individuals) that live in and utilise the Services, Applications and Products that are designed for the SmartHouse. It is therefore appropriate that the other main set of actors are the service and application providers that deliver the services that the consumers need and require, including those responsible for installing systems in the SmartHouse and for maintaining them. These consumers have needs and requirements in many areas and these are described in the Section on Consumers. Likewise the aims and objectives of the Service Providers in fulfilling consumer needs are described in the section on Service Providers. The installer also has to fulfil consumer needs and the Installation Process is described in the section on Installation.

This standard applies to electrical equipment using signals in the frequency range 1,6 MHz to 30 MHz to transmit information on low voltage electrical systems, either on the public supply system or within installations in consumers’ premises. It does not specify the signal modulation methods nor the coding methods nor functional features. Environmental requirements and tests are not included. The immunity requirements have been selected so as to ensure an adequate level of immunity for apparatus at residential, commercial and light industrial premises (Class 1 environment), and industrial premises supplied from a dedicated HV/MV or MV/LV transformers (Class 2 environment). The severity levels required by this standard may not cover extreme cases which may occur in any location but with a low probability of occurrence. In special cases situations will arise where the level of disturbances may exceed the levels specified in this standard (e.g. where a hand-held transmitter is used in proximity to an apparatus). In these instances special mitigation measures may be required.

Corrigendum to EN issued October 2006

This European product safety standard applies to the filter part of portable devices for household and similar uses (hereafter referred to as portable decoupling filters) consisting of the filter part, a plug or an appliance inlet or a provision for connection by terminals or with a non-rewirable cord and one (multiple) socket-outlet or an appliance outlet. They are intended for single-phase circuits for nominal currents not exceeding 16 A and for nominal voltages not exceeding 250 V a.c. to neutral operating in the frequency range 3 kHz to 148,5 kHz and from 1,6 MHz to 30 MHz. The filtering functions are described in EN 50065-4-1. This standard does not cover phase couplers. Portable decoupling filters shall not be used as part of the fixed installation, where EN 50065-4-2 applies. Plugs and socket-outlets connected to the filter part and plugs and socket-outlets integrated with the filter part shall comply with the relevant national standard(s). Appliance inlets and appliance outlets connected to the filter part shall comply with the relevant parts of the EN 60320 series. Appliance inlets and appliance outlets integrated with the filter parts are not covered by this standard. This standard can be used for portable mains communication devices when no other product standard exists. This standard can be used for other portable mains filters other than those described in EN 50065-4-1 when no other product standard exists. Filters including batteries are not covered by this standard.

This European Standard defines the mandatory and optional requirements for the medium specific physical and data link layer of power line Class 1 in its two variations PL110 and PL132. Data link layer interface and general definitions, which are medium independent, are given in EN 50090 4-1.

This standard gives guidance on writing the technical specification for the procurement of low voltage (LV) and medium voltage (MV) power cables for use in electricity generating stations (power stations). This Guide for procurement is not applicable to equipment for use in the nuclear reactor plant area of nuclear power stations. Other possible applications of such equipment have not been considered in the preparation of this Guide. This Guide covers power cables only for voltages up to and including Um = 41,5 kV. This Guide does not cover cables for public distribution systems, control and instrumentation systems or communications systems. For guidance on the technical specification of cables, including their installation and termination, refer to EN 45510-2-6 The equipment covered by this Guide is defined by its function rather than design type. Therefore, the guidance to the specification is stated in performance terms rather than being specified by a detailed description of the equipment to be supplied. This Guide indicates to potential purchasers how their specification should be prepared so that: - the equipment type and capacity interfaces correctly with other elements of the systems; - predicted performance is achieved; - ancillary equipment is properly sized; - reliability, availability and safety requirements are achieved; - proper consideration is given to the evaluation process and the quality measures to be applied. This Guide does not determine the type of specification (e.g. detailed, performance, functional) or the extent of supply for any given contract which is normally decided on the basis of the purchaser’s project strategy. It does not cover: - any commercial, contractual or legal issues which are normally in separate parts of an enquiry; - any allocation of responsibilities which are determined by the contract. This Guide does not prescribe the arrangement of the documents in the enquiry.

This European Standard applies to phase couplers in a mains communication system for phase to neutral voltage not exceeding 250 V a.c. and a nominal current not exceeding 125 A, intended for household and similar fixed installation including residential, commercial and light industrial buildings. This European Standard applies to phase couplers used to control the coupling of communication signals between phases or sections of a mains communication system. A “phase coupler” may be used to achieve coupling between the phases of a multiphase installation, or to provide bridging of signals around other system components. The standard defines  the requirements to ensure a minimum coupling between the sections, and  the requirements to ensure no change on the safety of the electrical installation.

This European Standard defines the mandatory and optional requirements for the medium specific physical and data link layer for HBES Class 1 Twisted Pair in its two variations called TP0 and TP1. Data link layer interface and general definitions, which are media independent, are given in EN 50090 4 2.

This international standard establishes general principles for network- and device-management shared by and independent of the installation mode. The goal is to standardize the interaction, between a management client and a management server, that shall lead to the successful configuration of the devices. In this way, these management procedures thus specify the highest level communication requirements between a management client and a management server. These requirements specify: a) the sequence of messages that shall be exchanged between a management client and a management server, and b) the contents and interpretation of the transported data, and c) the action to take based on these data (setting internal resources, state machines, physical actions, …), and d) the error and exception handling. The management procedures base on the application layer services. Some management procedures solely base on the use of one or a sequence of dedicated application layer services to achieve the required goal. For these, the documents EN 50090-4-1 and EN 50090-4-2 provide sufficient information for the underlying mechanisms. Other management procedures additionally use the application layer services to access internal data in the management server to achieve the required goal. These data are laid down as objects as specified in EN 50090 3 2.

This part of the EN 50090 specifies the services and protocol in a physical layer independent way for the data link layer and for the network layer and the transport layer for usage in Home and Building Electronic Systems

This part of the EN 50090 specifies the services and protocol of the application layer for usage in Home and Building Electronic Systems. It provides the services and the interface to the user process as defined in EN 50090 3 2. This procedure is based on the services and the protocol is provided by the Transport Layer, Network Layer and Data Link Layer as specified in EN 50090 4 2.

This part of EN 50090 specifies the structure and functioning of servers for the objects which form the interface between the application layer and the application and management.

This Part 2-1 specifies requirements that are applicable to those ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES intended to treat bradyarrhythmias. The tests that are specified in EN 45502 are type tests, and are to be carried out on samples of a device to show compliance. This Part 2-1 is also applicable to some non-implantable parts and accessories of the devices (see Note 1). The characteristics of the IMPLANTABLE PULSE GENERATOR or LEAD shall be determined by either the appropriate method detailed in this Part 2-1 or by any other method demonstrated to have an accuracy equal to, or better than, the method specified. In the case of dispute, the method detailed in this Part 2-1 shall apply. Any features of an ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE intended to treat tachyarrhythmias are covered by EN 45502-2-2. NOTE 1 The device that is commonly referred to as an active implantable medical device may in fact be a single device, a combination of devices, or a combination of a device or devices and one or more accessories. Not all of these parts are required to be either partially or totally implantable, but there is a need to specify some requirements of non-implantable parts and accessories if they could affect the safety or performance of the implantable device. NOTE 2 The terminology used in this European Standard is intended to be consistent with the terminology of Directive 90/385/EEC. NOTE 3 In this European Standard, terms printed in small capital letters are used as defined in Clause 3. Where a defined term is used as a qualifier in another term, it is not printed in small capital letters unless the concept thus qualified is also defined.

This standard applies to impedance filters in a mains communication system for phase to neutral voltage not exceeding 250 V a.c. and a nominal current not exceeding 125 A, intended for household and similar fixed installation including residential, commercial and light industrial buildings. This standard also applies to "plug-in filters". These filters (see Figure 1) are used to set a suitable impedance, in the nominal frequency range of the mains signalling system, at any point of the low voltage mains network where a low impedance equipment is connected, in order to allow reliable operation of mains signalling system. These impedance filters can be used either in utility or consumer networks. They may also be used in conjunction with incoming filters and segmentation filters.

This standard applies to incoming filters used to control the coupling of signals between the utility area and the consumer area (see Figure 1). The standard defines • the minimum impedance in the relevant frequency band(s) at both Utility port and Consumer port, • the minimum attenuation of unwanted signals transmitted from the utility side to the consumer side and vice versa, • the transmission characteristics: - operating frequency domain for both utility side and consumer side, - attenuation between the utility side and the consumer side and vice versa, - impedance at the utility side and at the consumer side. This standard applies to incoming filters designed for and used in single or multiphase installations.

This standard applies to segmentation filters in a mains communication system used for single or multiphase installations having a phase to neutral voltage not exceeding 250 V a.c. and a nominal current not exceeding 125 A, intended for household and similar fixed installation including residential, commercial and light industrial buildings and utility networks. These filters (see Figure 1) are used to control the coupling of signals between two areas of a mains communication system. The standard defines -the minimum impedance in the relevant frequency range(s) at both ports, -the minimum attenuation of signals transmitted between port.

This standard applies to electrical equipment using signals in the frequency range 95 kHz to 148,5 kHz to transmit or receive information on low voltage electrical systems, residential, commercial and light industrial environments. In the case of equipment which includes functions other than the transmission or reception of information on low voltage electrical supplies, this standard applies only to that part of the equipment intended for such transmission or reception of information. Other parts of the equipment shall comply with the immunity standard or standards relevant to the functions of those other parts. In the event of tests being specified in those other standards of a different severity and where the construction of the equipment is such that the functions cannot be tested separately, the higher severity shall apply to all affected functions. The object of this standard is to limit mutual influence between mains communication equipment and systems (MCES) operating in different frequency bands as defined in EN 50065-1 and to contribute to ensuring Electromagnetic Compatibility in general. It specifies essential immunity requirements and test methods, including those tests which are to be performed during type-testing of MCES on low-voltage installations, for electromagnetic interference in general and more specific interference coming from other MCES. It therefore defines the immunity test requirements for apparatus in relation to continuous and transient disturbances, both conducted and radiated, and electrostatic discharges. Test requirements are specified for each port considered. This standard gives limits which are applicable to products operating in residential, commercial and light industrial environments. The levels do not however cover extreme cases which may occur in any location but with a low probability of occurrence. In special cases situations will arise where the level of disturbances may exceed the levels specified in this standard e.g. where a hand-held transmitter is used in proximity to an apparatus. In these instances special mitigation measures may have to be employed. It does not specify immunity between mains communication systems operating in the same band (as defined in EN 50065-1) or immunity to signals originating from Power Line Carrier systems operating on high or medium voltage networks. Safety considerations are not included in this standard.
