Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment
 N EN 55015

Annotation

This standard 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;

– 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;

– apparatus for which the electromagnetic compatibility requirements in the radio-frequency range are explicitly formulated in other CISPR standards.

NOTE Examples are:

– built-in lighting devices in other equipment, for example scale illumination or neon devices;
