Question 12/5 - Maintenance and enhancement of existing EMC Recommendations

Continuation of Questions 6, part of 7, 8 and 9/5 studied in 1997-2000

Type of question

Task-oriented

Reason for question

Study Group 5 has produced a number of EMC recommendations and handbooks which provide key information to the telecommunications industry on the:

  • electromagnetic environment around telecommunication equipment;
  • expected worst case levels impacting equipment in this environment;
  • appropriate laboratory test levels for this equipment to guarantee performance quality;
  • mitigation techniques.

This question will provide the route for the maintenance of these recommendations. The question will determine when these documents need updating or amending and ultimately provide guidance on when they can be deleted.

Text of question

This question will review existing K-series EMC recommendations to ensure that they remain accurate and appropriate to the telecommunications industry and environment. It will ensure that changes in the environment or in technology (for example the introduction of new radio systems) will produce an update to ensure that these documents remain current and valid. As part of its output this question may recommend further areas of study (for example new technologies) for other questions.

Examples of areas to be studied include:

  • requirements above 1 GHz,
  • requirements below 150 kHz,
  • the inclusion of specific test methods and operating conditions,
  • the specific inclusion of RF active devices,
  • induced voltage requirements above 10 MHz in K.34,
  • calculation method for induced voltages in K.18.

Specific objective and time-frame

Updates to existing Recommendations (e.g. K.18 and K.38) and the suggestion for new areas of study.

Relationship to other

  • Recommendations
    • K-series
  • Questions
    • 3 and 13/5
  • Standardization bodies
    • CISPR, IEC, ETSI, ANSI
