Question 12/5 - Maintenance and enhancement of existing EMC Recommendations
(Continuation of Questions 12 and 8/5)
Motivation
Study Group 5 has produced a number of EMC recommendations and handbooks which provide key information to the telecommunications industry on the:
– electromagnetic environment around telecommunication equipment;
– expected worst case levels impacting equipment in this environment;
– appropriate laboratory test levels for this equipment to guarantee performance quality;
– mitigation techniques.
This question will provide the route for the maintenance of these recommendations. The question will determine when these documents need updating or amending and ultimately provide guidance on when they can be deleted.
The following Recommendations, in force at the time of approval of this Question, fall under its responsibility:
K.18, K.23, K.24, K.34, K.38, K.42, K.43, K.48, K.49 and K.63.
Question
This question will review existing K-series EMC recommendations to ensure that they remain accurate and appropriate to the telecommunications industry and environment. It will ensure that changes in the environment or in technology (for example the introduction of new radio systems) will produce an update to ensure that these documents remain current and valid. As part of its output this question may recommend further areas of study (for example new technologies) for other questions.
Study items to be considered include, but are not limited to:
- requirements above 1 GHz
- requirements below 150 kHz
- the inclusion of specific test methods and operating conditions
- the specific inclusion of RF active devices
- calculation method for induced voltages in K.18
- Immunity recommendation for xDSL
- EMC requirements for electric and electronic equipment with telecommunication port, both wireline and wireless port (e.g. TV, refrigerator, home
controlling)
- Lightning immunity test method (improve surge tests)
- artificial hand specifications on the electromagnetic compatibility measurement for the hand-held telecommunication terminal equipment; in particular:
- For conducted emission and immunity test, construction of the articificial hand and passive circuit elements, etc.;
- For radiated emission and immunity test, construction of the artificial hand and electromagnetic properties, etc.;
- The use of the artificial hand.
Tasks
Tasks include, but are not limited to:
- One or more recommendations related to the study item
- Maintenance and enhancement of existing Recommendations (e.g. K.18 and K.38).
Relationships
-
Recommendations: K-series
- Questions: 3 and 13/5
- Standardization bodies: CISPR, IEC, ETSI, ANSI
