Scope and object

This standard for immunity requirements applies to television broadcast receivers, sound broadcast receivers and associated equipment intended for use in the residential, commercial and light industrial environment.

This standard describes the methods of measurement and specified limits applicable to sound and television receivers and to associated equipment with regard to their immunity characteristics to disturbing signals.

This standard is also applicable to the immunity of outdoor units of direct to home (DTH) satellite receiving systems for individual reception.

NOTE 1 Receiving systems for collective reception, in particular cable distribution head ends (Community Antenna Television, CATV) and community reception systems (Master Antenna Television, MATV) are covered by IEC 60728-2.

NOTE 2 Broadcast receivers for digital signals are covered by Annex I and Annex J.

Immunity requirements are given in the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz. Radio-frequency tests outside the specified frequency bands or concerning other phenomena than given in this standard are not required.

The objective of this standard is to define the immunity test requirements for equipment defined in the scope in relation to continuous and transient, conducted and radiated disturbances including electrostatic discharges.

These test requirements represent essential electromagnetic immunity requirements.
