EVS-EN IEC 61000-6-2:2019

IEC 61000-6-2 for EMC immunity requirements applies to electrical and electronic equipment intended for use in industrial locations, both indoor and outdoor. Immunity requirements in the frequency range of 0 Hz to 400 GHz are covered. This standard applies also to equipment intended to be directly connected to a DC distribution network or which is battery-operated and intended to be used in industrial locations. IEC 61000-6-2 defines the immunity test requirements for equipment specified in the scope in relation to continuous and transient, conducted and radiated disturbances, including electrostatic discharges. The immunity requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of immunity for equipment operating. However, these levels do not cover extreme cases.

Not all disturbance phenomena have been included for testing purposes in IEC 61000-6-2. Only those are considered that are relevant for the equipment covered. These test requirements represent essential electromagnetic compatibility immunity requirements. The industrial environment may be changed by special mitigation measures. Where such measures can be shown to produce an electromagnetic environment equivalent to the residential, commercial or light-industrial environment, then the generic standard for this environment, or the relevant product standard, may be applied.

The international standard has been approved in Europe as EN IEC 61000-6-2:2019 without any changes and it supersedes EN 61000-6-2:2005.
