CISPR 15, ed. 7.2 (2009-01) is entitled “Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of lighting and similar equipment.” This standard applies to the emission (radiated and conducted) of radio-frequency disturbances from all lighting equipment with a primary function of generating and/or distributing light intended for illumination purposes, and intended either for connection to the low voltage electricity supply or for battery operation—as well as to several other forms of specialized lighting equipment.
The frequency range covered is 9 kHz to 400 GHz. Multi-function equipment that is subjected simultaneously to different clauses of this standard, and/or to other standards, shall meet the provisions of each clause/standard with the relevant functions in operation. The limits in this standard have been determined on a probabilistic basis to keep the suppression of disturbances within economically reasonable limits while still achieving an adequate level of radio protection and electromagnetic compatibility. In exceptional cases, additional provisions may be required. This consolidated version consists of the seventh edition (2005), its amendment 1 (2006), and its amendment 2 (2008). Therefore, there is no need to order amendments in addition to this publication. To preview, or to purchase this standard, go to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) website.Testing to the latest standards is an ongoing challenge. Monitor current developments and observations by visiting the Interference Technology Testing Forum.
