ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) –
Part 6-3: Generic standards –
Emission standard for residential,
commercial and light-industrial environments
1 Scope and object
This part of IEC 61000 for EMC emission requirements applies to electrical and electronic
apparatus intended for use in residential, commercial and light-industrial environments.
Emission requirements in the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz are covered. No
measurement needs to be performed at frequencies where no requirement is specified.
This generic EMC emission standard is applicable if no relevant dedicated product or product-
family EMC emission standard exists.
This standard applies to apparatus intended to be directly connected to a low-voltage public
mains network or connected to a dedicated DC source, which is intended to interface between
the apparatus and the low-voltage public mains network. This standard applies also to
apparatus which is battery operated or is powered by a non-public, but non-industrial, low-
voltage power distribution system if this apparatus is intended to be used in the locations
described below.
The environments encompassed by this standard are residential, commercial and light-
industrial locations, both indoor and outdoor. The following list, although not comprehensive,
gives an indication of locations that are included:
– residential properties, for example houses, apartments;
– retail outlets, for example shops, supermarkets;
– business premises, for example offices, banks;
– areas of public entertainment, for example cinemas, public bars, dance halls;
– outdoor locations, for example petrol stations, car parks, amusement and sports centres;
– light-industrial locations, for example workshops, laboratories, service centres.
Locations that are characterised by being supplied directly at low voltage from the public
mains network are considered to be residential, commercial or light-industrial.
The object of this standard is to define the emission test requirements for apparatus defined
in the scope in relation to continuous and transient, conducted and radiated disturbances.
The emission requirements have been selected so as to ensure that disturbances generated
by apparatus operating normally in residential, commercial and light-industrial locations do
not exceed a level which could prevent other apparatus from operating as intended. Fault
conditions of apparatus are not taken into account. Not all disturbance phenomena have been
included for testing purposes in this standard but only those considered as relevant for the
equipment covered by this standard. These requirements represent essential electromagnetic
compatibility emission requirements.

Requirements are specified for each port considered.
NOTE 1 Safety considerations are not covered by this standard.
NOTE 2 In special cases, situations will arise where the levels specified in this standard will not offer adequate
protection; for example where a sensitive receiver is used in close proximity to an apparatus. In these instances,
special mitigation measures may have to be employed.
NOTE 3 As the requirements in this standard are more stringent than the requirements in IEC 61000-6-4,
equipment fulfilling the requirements of this standard will also comply with the requirements of IEC 61000-6-4.

port at which a conductor or a cable is connected to the apparatus
NOTE Examples are signal, control and power ports.
3.4
telecommunications/network port
point of connection for voice, data and signalling transfers intended to interconnect widely
dispersed systems via such means as direct connection to multi-user telecommunications
networks (e.g. public switched telecommunications networks (PSTN) integrated services
digital networks (ISDN), x-type digital subscriber lines (xDSL), etc.), local area networks (e.g.
Ethernet, Token Ring, etc.) and similar networks)
NOTE A port generally intended for interconnection of components of an ITE system under test (e.g. RS-232,RS-
485, field buses in the scope of IEC 61158, IEEE Standard 1284 (parallel printer), Universal Serial Bus (USB),
IEEE Standard 1394 (“Fire Wire”), etc.) and used in accordance with its functional specifications (e.g. for the
maximum length of cable connected to it), is not considered to be a telecommunications port.
3.5
power port
port at which a conductor or cable carrying the primary electrical power needed for the
operation (functioning) of an apparatus or associated apparatus is connected to the apparatus
IEC 1091/06

3.6
public mains network
electricity lines to which all categories of consumers have access and which are operated by
a supply or distribution undertaking for the purpose of supplying electrical energy
3.7
low voltage
LV
low tension
voltage having a value below a conventionally adopted limit
[IEV 601-01-26, modified]
NOTE For the distribution of AC electric power, the upper limit is generally accepted to be 1 000 V.
3.8
d.c. power network
local electricity supply network in the infrastructure of a certain site or building intended for
flexible use by one ore more different types of equipment and guaranteeing continuous power
supply independently from the conditions of the public mains network
NOTE Connection to a remote local battery is not regarded as a DC power network, if such a link comprises only
power supply for a single piece of equipment.
4 Conditions during testing
The equipment under test (EUT) shall be tested in the operating mode producing the largest
emission in the frequency band being investigated, e.g. based on limited pre-tests and
consistent with normal applications. The configuration of the test sample shall be varied to
achieve maximum emission consistent with typical applications and installation practice.
If the apparatus is part of a system, or can be connected to auxiliary apparatus, the apparatus
shall be tested while connected to the minimum representative configuration of auxiliary
apparatus necessary to exercise the ports in a similar manner to that described in CISPR 22.
In cases where a manufacturer's specification requires external filtering and/or shielding
devices or measures that are clearly specified in the user's manual, the measurement
requirements of this standard shall be applied with the specified devices or measures in
place.
The configuration and mode of operation during the measurements shall be precisely noted in
the test report. If the apparatus has a large number of similar ports or ports with many similar
connections, a sufficient number shall be selected to simulate actual operating conditions and
to ensure that all the different types of termination are covered.
The measurements shall be carried out at one single set of parameters within the operating
ranges of temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure specified for the product and at the
rated supply voltage, unless otherwise indicated in the basic standard.
5 Product documentation
The purchaser/user shall be informed if special measures have to be taken to achieve
compliance, e.g. the use of shielded or special cables.
– 9 – EN 61000-6-3:2007
6 Applicability
The application of measurements for emission(s) depends on the particular apparatus, its
configuration, its ports, its technology and its operating conditions.
Measurements shall be applied to the relevant ports of the apparatus according to Table 1.
Measurements shall only be carried out where the relevant ports exist.
It may be determined from consideration of the electrical characteristics and usage of a
particular apparatus that some of the measurements are inappropriate and therefore
unnecessary. In such a case it is required that the decision and justification not to measure
shall be recorded in the test report.
7 Emission requirements
The emission requirements for apparatus covered by this standard are given on a port by port
basis.
Measurements shall be conducted in a well-defined and reproducible manner.
The measurements may be performed in any order.
The description of the measurement, the measurement instrumentation, the measurement
methods and the measurement set-up to be used are given in the standards, which are
referred to in the Table 1.
The contents of the standards referenced in the tables are not repeated here, however
modifications or additional information needed for the practical application of the
measurements are given in this standard.
8 Application of limits in tests for conformity of equipment in series production
8.1 Tests shall be made:
– either on a sample of equipment of the type using the statistical method of evaluation set
out in 8.2,
– or, for simplicity’s sake, on one equipment only.
8.2 Statistically assessed compliance with
