Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment (CISPR 15:2013 + IS1:2013 + IS2:2013); German version EN 55015:2013
Grenzwerte und Messverfahren für Funkstörungen von elektrischen Beleuchtungseinrichtungen und ähnlichen Elektrogeräten (CISPR 15:2013 + IS1:2013 + IS2:2013); Deutsche Fassung EN 55015:2013
Overview
This standard contains the German version of the European Standard EN 55015:2013, which takes over the International Standard CISPR 15:2013. It serves for the limitation of the radio-frequency emission (radio disturbance suppression) of electrical lighting and similar electric equipment. It specifies the limits of disturbance voltages and disturbance field strength for the different types of lamps, luminaires and accessories and their different connections that apply for this purpose. Furthermore, it specifies minimum values for insertion loss. The measurement methods required to demonstrate compliance with the various specifications are specified. Compared to the previous edition of the standard, specifications relating to the suppression of disturbances of LED light sources and associated luminaires and to luminaires for cold cathode tubular discharge lamps (for example neon tubes) used, for example, for advertising purposes, have been added. For this purpose, the definition "LED light source" has been supplemented and LED light sources are mentioned at appropriate positions in the standard text. The limits for LED light sources are specified in a new clause 5.11 which makes reference to the corresponding tables. Furthermore, a new Annex D with information on applying the limits and methods of measurement to the different types of lamps, luminaires and accessories has been added. The responsible Committee is DKE/UK 767.11 "EMV von Betriebsmitteln und Anlagen für häusliche, gewerbliche, industrielle, wissenschaftliche und medizinische Anwendungen, die beabsichtigt oder unbeabsichtigt HF erzeugen, sowie von Beleuchtungseinrichtungen" ("EMC relating to equipment and systems for residential, commercial, industrial, scientific and medical applications that intentionally or unintentionally generate RF, and lighting devices") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
