The CISPR 16 series, published under the general title Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods, consists of Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4, each of which is further subdivided into parts:
– measurement instrumentation specifications are given in the five parts of CISPR 16-1;
– methods of measurement are covered in the four parts of CISPR 16-2;
– various reports with further information and background on CISPR and radio disturbances in general are given in CISPR 16-3;
– information related to uncertainties, statistics and limit modelling is contained in CISPR 16-4.
CISPR 16-1 consists of the following parts, under the general title Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods – Radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus:
• Part 1-1: Measuring apparatus
• Part 1-2: Ancillary equipment – Conducted disturbances
• Part 1-3: Ancillary equipment – Disturbance power
• Part 1-4: Ancillary equipment – Radiated disturbances
• Part 1-5: Antenna calibration test sites for 30 MHz to 1 000 MHz
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendments will remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
This part of CISPR 16 is designated a basic standard, which specifies the characteristics and performance of equipment for the measurement of radio disturbance voltages, currents and fields in the frequency range 9 kHz to 18 GHz. In addition, requirements are specified for specialized equipment for discontinuous disturbance measurements. The requirements include the measurement of broadband and narrowband types of radio disturbance.
The receiver types covered include the following:
a) the quasi-peak measuring receiver,
b) the peak measuring receiver,
c) the average measuring receiver,
d) the r.m.s. measuring receiver.
The requirements of this publication shall be complied with at all frequencies and for all levels
of radio disturbance voltages, currents, power or field strengths within the CISPR indicating
range of the measuring equipment.
Methods of measurement are covered in Part 2, and further information on radio disturbance
is given in Part 3 of CISPR 16. Uncertainties, statistics and limit modelling are covered in
Part 4 of CISPR 16.
