The EMC Shop stocks all the test equipment need to meet IEC 61000-6-2 immunity requirements for industrial electronics. Many customers DIY it and perform EMC precompliance testing prior to investing in a certification effort.
IEC 61000-6-2 applies to all the following equipment categories:
- Devices for which there are no dedicated product/product-family EMC immunity standards.
- Devices intended to operate in industrial environments.
- Devices dedicated to operation in a plant involved in installation feeding manufacturing or similar processes.
- Devices that are battery operated and developed for industrial use.
Industrial locations, discussed often in the standard, are defined by the following qualities:
- Meet CISPR 11 definition of an ISM apparatus—industrial, scientific or medical.
- Frequent switching of inductive or capacitive loads.
- High magnetic fields and currents.
