3.4 Applicable safety standards
The NSG 3150 conforms to the safety requirements and offers all the features necessary for
safe and efficient operation. Development and manufacture is in compliance with ISO 9001.
The system complies with the safety requirements of IEC / EN 61010-1 (Safety requirements
for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use).
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the test rig does not emit excessive
electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might affect other equipment. The test system itself
does not produce any excessive radiation; however, the injection of interference pulses into
the EUT can result in the device and / or its associated cables radiating EMI. To avoid
radiating unwanted interference the standards organzations recommend that the test setup
be located in a Faraday cage. Since the purpose of the test system is to produce interference
signals for interference immunity testing, the requirements in the IEC / EN 61000 series
concerning limiting the radiated EMI can only be complied with by operating the test system
inside a Faraday cage.
3.5 Test execution
WARNING - The test area must be organized so that unauthorized
persons do not have access during the execution of a test. If a safety
contact (Interlock) is used as a means of access control to the test zone
(e.g. a Faraday cage), then an additional contact connected in series is
necessary to provide protection for parts of the EUT that are likely to be
touched accidentally.
The user must observe safety instruction for all the instruments and
associated equipment involved in the test setup.
Test setup configuration is to be strictly in compliance with the
methods described in the relevant standard to ensure that the test is
executed in a compliant manner.
