National foreword
This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the General Electrotechnical Standards Policy Committee and is the English language version of EN 50081-2, Electromagnetic compatibility - Generic emission standard Part 2: Industrial environment, published by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC). This standard is one of a number of generic standards related to European Council Directive 89/336/EEC, dated 3 May 1989 (referred to as the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive), which applies to apparatus (equipment) liable to cause electromagnetic disturbance or the performance of which is liable to be affected by such disturbance. It defines the protection requirements, and related conformity procedures. The protection requirements state that apparatus within the scope of the Directive are to be so constructed that: a) the electromagnetic disturbance it generates does not exceed a level allowing radio and telecommunications equipment and other apparatus to operate as intended; b) the apparatus has an adequate level of intrinsic immunity to electromagnetic disturbance to enable it to operate as intended.

Member States of the EC are required to presume compliance with the protection requirements where apparatus is in conformity with the relevant national standard implementing the harmonized standard (in this case EN 50081-2). Attention is drawn to the following: The factor which determines, for EMC purposes, whether an apparatus is deemed to be Industrial or Residential, commercial and light industrial, is given in clause 1 as follows: Apparatus covered by this standard is not intended for connection to a public mains network but is intended to be connected to a power network supplied from a high or medium-voltage transformer dedicated for the supply of an installation feeding manufacturing or similar plant.
NUTE. Apparatus intended for direct connection to a public mains network is covered by relevant product or product family standards or generic standards BS EN 50081-1 (Emission) and BS EN 50082-1 (Immunity).

The following guidance is given to manufacturers intending to make a declaration of conformity with the protection requirements of Directive 89/336/EEC. 1) Where a declaration of conformity is to be based exclusively on standards, a manufacturer should apply all of the standards which have been listed in the Official Journal of the European Communities where the scopes of the standards are appropriate to the product. 2) Where the scopes of the product or product family standards are not appropriate to a particular product, the generic standards should be applied. Guidance on the use and applicability of generic EMC standards is given in PD 6582 : 1993 which implements CENELEC Report R110-002 : 1993 Guide to Geizeric Standards (see note to clause 1).
3) Where, for whatever reason, a manufacturer chooses not to apply the standards, or to apply them only in part (see note 1 to the table), the technical construction file route, as described in Article lO(2) of Directive 89/336/EEC, can be followed in order to make a declaration of conformity.

The examples of typical equipment given in the table, which is not exhaustive, show which standards should be applied if it is intended to make a declaration of conformity which is based exclusively on standards. Although the Member States of the EC were required to implement the EMC Directive on 1 January 1992, Amending Directive 92/3l/EEC provides for a transitional period ending on 31 December 1995, during which manufacturers of electrotechnical products have the option either to:

a) comply with the requirements of the EMC Directive; or

b) to continue to comply with existing national regulations which were in force at 30 June 1992. Products manufactured in one Member State which do not conform to the Directive are required to conform to the regulations of the Member State in which they are marketed.

1 Scope
This standard for emission requirements applies to electrical and electronic apparatus intended for use in the industrial environment, as described in clause 5, for which no dedicated product or product-family emission standard exists. Apparatus designed to radiate electromagnetic energy for radio communications purposes is excluded from this standard. Disturbances in the frequency range O Hz to 400 GHz are covered. Fault conditions of apparatus are not taken into account. Where a relevant dedicated product or product-family EMC emission standard exists, it shall take precedence over ail aspects of this generic standard. The environments encompassed by this standard are industrial, both indoor and outdoor. Apparatus covered by this standard is not intended for connection to a public mains network but is intended to be connected to a power network supplied from a high or medium-voltage transformer dedicated for the supply of an installation feeding manufacturing or similar plant. This standard applies to apparatus intended to operate in industrial locations or in proximity to industrial power installations.
NOTE. Guidance on the choice and applicability of Generic EMC Standards can be found in CENELEC Report R110-002 : 1993 - Guide to Generic Standards.

3 Objective
The objective of this standard is to define limits and test methods for apparatus defined in the scope, in relation to electromagnetic emissions which may cause interference in other apparatus. These emission limits represent essential electromagnetic compatibility requirements and have been selected to ensure that the disturbances generated by the apparatus operated normally at industrial locations do not exceed a level which could prevent other apparatus from operating as intended. Test requirements are specified for each port considered.
NOTE 1. The limits in this standard may not, however, provide full protection against interference to radio and television reception when the apparatus is used closer than 30 m to the receiving antenna(e). NOTE 2. In special cases, for instance when highly susceptible apparatus is being used in proximity, additional mitigation measures may have to be employed to reduce the electromagnetic emission further below the specified levels.

4 Definitions
Definitions related to EMC and to relevant phenomena may be found in the EEC Directive, in chapter 161 of the IEV (IEC 50) and in IEC and CISPR Publications. The definitions stated in the Directive (89/336/EEC) take precedence. The following particular definitions are used in this standard : port: Particular interface of the specified apparatus with the external electromagnetic environment (see figure 1). enclosure port: The physical boundary of the apparatus through which electromagnetic fields may radiate or impinge.

If L e apparatus is part of a system, or can be connected to auxiliary apparatus, then the apparatus shall be tested while connected to the minimum configuration of auxiliary apparatus necessary to exercise the ports in a similar manner to that described in clause 8 of EN 55022 : 1987. The configuration and mode of operation during measurement shall be precisely noted in the test report. If the apparatus has a large number of similar ports or ports with many similar connections, then a sufficient number shall be selected to simulate actual operating conditions and to ensure that ail the different types of termination are covered. The tests shall be carried out within the specified operating conditions for the apparatus and at its rated supply voltage, unless otherwise indicated in the basic standard.

5 Industrial locations
Industrial locations are characterized by the existence of one or more of the following conditions: - industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) i) apparatus are present; - heavy inductive or capacitive loads are frequently switched; - currents and associated magnetic fields are high. These are the major contributors to the industrial electromagnetic environment and as such distinguish the industrial from other environments.

7 Documentation for the purchaserhser

7.1 Documentation which shall be supplied to the purchaserhser: The apparatus shall be supplied with a written warning indicating that the apparatus shall not be used in the residential, commercial and light-industrial environment unless the apparatus also conforms to the relevant standard (EN 50081-1). The purchaserhser shall be informed if special measures have to be taken to achieve compliance, e.g. the use of shielded or special cables.
7.2 Documentation which shall be available to the purchaserhser upon request: A list of auxiliary apparatus which together with the apparatus comply with the emission requirements.

6 Conditions during measurement

The measurement shall be made in the operation mode producing the largest emission in the frequency band being investigated consistent with normal applications, An attempt shall be made to maximize the emission by varying the configuration and the mode of operation of the test sample in accordance with the basic standard.

8 Applicability
The measurements in this standard are made on the relevant ports of the apparatus in accordance with table 1. Measurements shall only be carried out where the relevant ports exist. It may be determined from consideration of the electrical characteristics and usage of a particular apparatus that some of the measurements are inappropriate and therefore unnecessary. In such a case it is required that the decision not to test be recorded in the test report.

9 Emission limits
The emission limits for apparatus covered by this standard are given on a port by port basis. Measurements shall be performed in well-defined and reproducible conditions for each type of disturbance. The description of the test, the test methods and the test set-up are given in basic standards which are referred to in table 1 and in table A . l . The contents of these basic standards are not repeated here; however modifications or additional information needed for the practical application of the tests are given in this standard.
NOTE. The term basic standard has been used for want of a more suitable term. The standards references (EN 55011, EN 55014, EN 55022 and EN 60555) are stand-alone product-family standards. The reference to basic standard is intended to be limited to those parts of the standard that give the description of the test, the test methods and the test Set-up.
