EMC
Per EC Council Directive 89/336 EEC (EC–92), the following standards and limits
apply to the requirements for equipment to be used in residential, commercial, and
light industrial environments. They are specified in EN–50081–1, the Generic
Emission Standard, and in EN 50082–1, the Generic Immunity Standard. For
equipment that is also intended to be used in industrial environments, the standards
and limits specified in EN 50081–2 and EN 50082–2 should be used in addition.
Emissions
Emissions shall be within the limits specified by the following requirements:
Enclosure:
EN 55011 Class A limit for radiated emissions.
