Differences Between EN 62311 and EN 62479 Test

1. EMF Human Exposure Assessment Standard for Low-Power Electronic and Electrical Equipment (EN 62479:2010)  

EN 62479 provides a simple method for EMF human exposure compliance assessment for low-power electronic and electrical equipment. If a device does not comply with EN 62479, other standards such as EN 62311, EN 62233, and EN 62493 must be used for further evaluation to confirm that the product meets the EMF human exposure requirements.

2. EMF Compliance Assessment Procedure in EN 62479

3. Assessment Procedures for Human Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields Around Household and Similar Appliances (EN 62233:2008)  

When applying for CE certification, it is mandatory to evaluate the EMF of household appliances; otherwise, a CE certificate cannot be issued. EN 62233 includes tests for both magnetic and electric fields. If the operating voltage of the internal electronic circuits and transformers does not exceed 1000V, the device is considered to comply with the standard's electric field evaluation requirements without testing. Magnetic field testing needs to evaluate frequencies from 10Hz to 400kHz through testing and weighted calculations to confirm whether the appliance meets the standard's requirements.

4. EN 62493:2010 - Lighting Equipment  

China JJR Laboratory is an IEC 17025 accredited laboratory, providing testing services for household appliances under EN 62311 and low-power electronic products under EN 62479. Located in China, their testing fees are lower, which can help you save 30%.
