UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SYSTEMS (UPS) –
Part 2: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements
1 Scope
This part of IEC 62040 applies to UPS units intended to be installed
– as a unit or in UPS systems comprising a number of interconnected UPS and associated
control/switchgear forming a single power system; and
– in any operator accessible area or in separated electrical locations, connected to low-
voltage supply networks for either industrial or residential, commercial and light industrial
environments.
This part of IEC 62040 is intended as a product standard allowing the EMC conformity
assessment of products of categories C1, C2 and C3 as defined in this part of IEC 62040,
before placing them on the market.
Equipment of category 4 is treated as a fixed installation. Checking is generally done after
installation in its final place of use. Sometimes partial checking may be done before. See
Annex E
The requirements have been selected so as to ensure an adequate level of electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) for UPS at public and industrial locations. These levels cannot, however,
cover extreme cases, which may occur in any location but with extremely low probability of
occurrence.
This part of IEC 62040 takes into account the differing test conditions necessary to
encompass the range of physical sizes and power ratings of UPS.
A UPS unit or system shall meet the relevant requirements of this part of IEC 62040 as a
stand-alone product. EMC phenomena produced by any customers' load connected to the
output of the UPS equipment shall not be taken into account.
Special installation environments are not covered, nor are fault conditions of UPS taken into
account.
This part of IEC 62040 does not cover d.c. supplied electronic ballast or UPS based on
rotating machines.
This part of IEC 62040 states:
– EMC requirements;
– test methods;
– minimum performance levels.

4 Environment
The following examples of environment cover the majority of UPS installations.
a) First environment: environment that includes residential, commercial and light industrial
premises directly connected without intermediate transformers to a public low-voltage
mains supply.
b) Second environment: environment that includes all commercial, light industry and
industrial establishments other than those directly connected to a low-voltage mains that
supplies buildings used for residential purposes.
5 UPS Categories
5.1 UPS of category C1
This category includes UPS intended for use without any restriction in the first environment.
Such UPS are suitable for use in residential establishments.
Category C1 UPS shall meet the category C1 UPS emission limits and withstand the
