AIAA-S-121: “Electromagnetic Compatibility Requirements for Space Equipment and Systems”
AIAA-S-121 adapts MIL-STDs 464 and 461 specifically for space missions, including ground handling and launch vehicles.
TIP: EverySpec.com
EverySpec.com is a site that just about every EMC engineer should have bookmarked.
MIL-STD-464: “Electromagnetic Environmental Effects Requirements for Systems”
MIL-STD-464 is the main aerospace/defense document that applies E3 requirements to full systems and platforms.
ISO 7637: “Road vehicles — Electrical disturbances from conduction and coupling”
ISO 7637 is the automotive standard that sets out test methods for evaluating conducted immunity at the module level.
ECE Reg 10: “Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to electromagnetic compatibility”
ECE Reg 10.06 is a key automotive standard for manufacturers planning to sell vehicles in Europe.
ISO 11451: “Road vehicles — Vehicle test methods for electrical disturbances from narrowband radiated electromagnetic energy”
ISO 11451 is a collection of test methods addressing vehicle level immunity to electric fields.
CISPR 36: “Electric and hybrid electric road vehicles - Radio disturbance characteristics - Limits and methods of measurement for the protection of off-board receivers below 30 MHz”
CISPR 36 is specific to electric vehicles and covers low frequency magnetic fields, 150 kHz - 30 MHz.
CISPR 25: “Vehicles, boats and internal combustion engines - Radio disturbance characteristics - Limits and methods of measurement for the protection of on-board receivers”
CISPR 25 is an automotive standard that covers the main emissions testing methods needed to ensure self-compatibility between a vehicle and its own on-board receivers..
IEEE 1560: “IEEE Standard for Methods of Measurement of Radio-Frequency Power-Line Interference Filter in the Range of 100 Hz to 10 GHz”
IEEE 1560 contains test methods for testing power line filters.
GSFC-STD-7000B: “General Environmental Verification Standard (GEVS) for GSFC Flight Programs and Projects”
GSFC-STD-7000B contains something like a version of MIL-STD-461 specifically tailored for small, metal chassis, science satellites
ISO 11452: “Road vehicles — Component test methods for electrical disturbances from narrowband radiated electromagnetic energy”
ISO 11452 is a standard with multiple parts and test methods that covers testing components that will go on vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) for immunity.
IEC 61000: “Electromagnetic Compatibility--”
IEC 61000 is a major umbrella standard that encompasses a wide range of documents within it, covering limits and test methods for a variety of scenarios.
CISPR 32: “Electromagnetic compatibility of multimedia equipment - Emission requirements”
CISPR 32 is the international standard most comparable to the FCC standard on consumer electronics.
FCC 47 CFR Part 15
This is the part of FCC regulations that covers normal electronics, as opposed to systems that have intentional RF transmitters and receivers.
Quasi-Peak Explainer
Peak and Average measurements are pretty self-explanatory, but what on Earth is Quasi Peak (QP)?
LISN Explainer
LISNs are used in multiple different test methods, with different names and characteristics. What the heck are they, anyway?
ANSI C63.4: “American National Standard for Methods of Measurement of Radio-Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz”
ANSI C63.4 contains the main test methods used to verify compliance to FCC Part 15 unintentional emissions limits, making it key for consumer electronics.
A Resource for Information on EMC Standards
Introduction to the resources you can find here on EMC standards, plus my philosophy on standards & standards development.
MIL-STD-461: “Requirements for the Control of Electromagnetic Interference Characteristics of Subsystems and Equipment”
MIL-STD-461 is one of the core EMC standards, having evolved with military applications since WWII. It is widely used in the aerospace and defense sectors.
CISPR 12: “Vehicles, boats and internal combustion engines – Radio disturbance characteristics – Limits and methods of measurement for the protection of off-board receivers”
CISPR 12 is a key automotive standard that details the test method for ensuring cars and other vehicles don’t emit too much RF energy at a distance, usually 10 m away. It’s often referred to as an “off-board radiated emissions test”.
