DIN EN 55032:2012-12

This standard contains the German version of the European Standard EN 55032:2012, which is adopted by International Standard CISPR 32:2012. It applies for the limitation of radio disturbance (or radio interference) of multimedia equipment and specifies the corresponding limits and measurement methods. This includes information technology equipment, audio and video equipment, sound and television broadcast receivers and associated equipment, entertainment lighting control equipment as well as combinations thereof. According to the respective scopes of the mentioned equipment, the International Standards CISPR 13 and CISPR 22 or the European Standards EN 55013 and EN 55022 also apply in parallel for them; a transitional period of 5 years has been specified. Thus - parallel to this standard - sound and television broadcast receivers and associated equipment still fall into the scope of CISPR 13 or EN 55013 and information technology equipment (ITE) still fall into the scope of CISPR 22 or EN 55022. The requirements of EN 55032 serve for the limitation of radio disturbance via the housing (stray radiation) and on the individual terminations such as power supply terminals, analogue and digital data connectors, wired networks, antenna ports. Specifications of the International Standards CISPR 13 and CISPR 22 have been included in this standard. The main part of the standard contains the basic specifications that apply for the individual equipment, whereas product-specific requirements can be found in the normative annexes. This concerns, on the one hand, the limits to be used and, on the other hand, specifications on the instrumentation, measurement arrangement and measurement procedure. The responsible committee is GAK 767.15.17 "EMV für Multi Media Einrichtungen (EMV für MME)" ("EMC for multimedia equipment (EMC for MME)") under the umbrella of UK 767.15 "EMV von Ton- und Fernseh-Rundfunkempfängern" ("EMC of sound and television broadcast receivers") and UK 767.17 "EMV von Einrichtungen der Informationsverarbeitungs- und Telekommunikationstechnik" ("EMV of information technology equipment and telecommunication technology") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
