EN 61000 Tests for Communication Equipment in CE Certification

Communication equipment undergoing CE certification must comply with the EN 61000 series standards, primarily addressing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Below are the key EN 61000 tests:

1. EN 61000-3-2 

Purpose: To limit the harmonic emissions of equipment connected to the power grid. 

Test Content: Evaluates the harmonic current emissions under specific operating conditions.

2. EN 61000-3-3 

Purpose: To limit voltage fluctuations and flicker on power supply lines caused by the equipment. 

Test Content: Measures voltage fluctuations and their impact on the power grid.

3. EN 61000-6-1 

Purpose: General electromagnetic compatibility immunity requirements for residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. 

Test Content: Assesses the electromagnetic immunity of the equipment in these environments.

4. EN 61000-6-3 

Purpose: General electromagnetic compatibility emission requirements for residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. 

Test Content: Measures radiated and conducted emissions during equipment operation.

5. EN 61000-4-2 

Purpose: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity testing. 

Test Content: Evaluates the equipment's tolerance to electrostatic discharges.

6. EN 61000-4-3 

Purpose: Radio-frequency electromagnetic field immunity testing. 

Test Content: Assesses the equipment's performance stability under RF electromagnetic fields.

7. EN 61000-4-4 

Purpose: Electrical fast transient (EFT) immunity testing. 

Test Content: Evaluates the equipment's immunity to electrical fast transients.

8. EN 61000-4-5 

Purpose: Surge immunity testing. 

Test Content: Measures the equipment's tolerance to power surges.

Summary 

These EN 61000 standards ensure that communication equipment operates safely and reliably in electromagnetic environments. If you have specific questions or need further details, feel free to ask!
