Updates to Harmonised Standards for Electromagnetic Compatibility

The European Commission of the EU has published Decision 2019/1326 on the harmonised standards for electromagnetic compatibility supporting Directive 2014/30/EU.

The European Commission (EC), together with European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) and European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (Cenelec), has deemed that the following standards comply and support Directive 2014/30/EU for electromagnetic compatibility:

  • EN IEC 61058-1:2018
  • Switches for appliances β€” Part 1: General requirements

  • EN 55035:2017
  • Electromagnetic compatibility of multimedia equipment β€” Immunity requirements

  • EN 61000-6-5:2015/AC:2018-01
  • Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) β€” Part 6-5: Generic standards β€” Immunity for equipment used in power station and substation environment

  • EN ISO 13766-1:2018
  • Earth-moving and building construction machinery β€” Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of machines with internal electrical power supply β€” Part 1: General EMC requirements under typical electromagnetic environmental conditions (ISO 13766-1:2018)

  • EN 63024:2018
  • Requirements for automatic reclosing devices (ARDs) for circuit-breakers, RCBOs and RCCBs for household and similar uses (IEC 63024:2017, modified)

Standards EN 13309:2010 and EN 50557:2011 have been revised and standard EN 61000-6-5:2015 has been corrected, so it is necessary to withdraw the references of those standards from the Official Journal of the European Union.

In order to give manufacturers sufficient time to prepare for application of the revised and the corrected standards, it is necessary to defer the withdrawal of the references to those standards:

  • EN 13309:2010
  • Construction machinery β€” Electromagnetic compatibility of machines with internal power supply

    Date of withdrawal: June 30, 2021

  • EN 50557:2011
  • Requirements for automatic reclosing devices (ARDs) for circuit breakers-RCBOs-RCCBs for household and similar uses

    Date of withdrawal: January 17, 2021

  • EN 61000-6-5:2015
  • Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) β€” Part 6-5: Generic standards- Immunity for equipment used in power station and substation environment

    Date of withdrawal: January 31, 2020
