IEC 61326 EMC Testing of Safety-Related Systems and Functions

IEC 61326 is the European Union’s EMC standard for certain electrical equipment that is involved in control, laboratory use, measurement, and test. IEC 61326 determines the requirements for emissions and immunity regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for electrical equipment that operates from a supply, battery, or circuit being measured.

IEC 61326 is comprised of the following seven standards (as detailed by the European Commission):

IEC 61326-1:2006Electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use – EMC requirements — Part 1: General requirements
IEC 61326-2-1:2006Electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use – EMC requirements — Part 2-1: Particular requirements – Test configurations, operational conditions, and performance criteria for sensitive test and measurement equipment for EMC unprotected applications 
IEC 61326-2-2:2006Electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use – EMC requirements — Part 2-2: Particular requirements – Test configurations, operational conditions, and performance criteria for portable test, measuring, and monitoring equipment used in low-voltage distribution systems 
IEC 61326-2-3:2006Electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use – EMC requirements — Part 2-3: Particular requirements – Test configuration, operational conditions, and performance criteria for transducers with integrated or remote signal conditioning 
IEC 61326-2-4:2006Electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use – EMC requirements — Part 2-4: Particular requirements – Test configurations, operational conditions, and performance criteria for insulation monitoring devices according to IEC 61557-8 and for equipment for insulation fault location according to IEC 61557-9 
IEC 61326-2-5:2006Electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use – EMC requirements — Part 2-5: Particular requirements – Test configurations, operational conditions, and performance criteria for field devices with interfaces according to IEC 61784-1, CP 3/2
