 Directives > Standards
•  « New Approach »: technical harmonisation which defines a clear difference
between the responsibilities of the European legislator and the European
standardisation committees (CEN, CENELEC, ETSI) in a legal framework to
facilitate the movement of goods.

-  European directives define essential requirements (health, safety and

environmental issues);
-  European standardisation committees publish technical specifications in
standards to answer to the essential requirements (presumption of conformity) and
then they are considered as “harmonised standards”.

 International Level (IEC / CISPR)

•  Documents types: standards, reports, technical reports, guides

•  IEC: divided in commissions and sub-commissions
•  EMC:
TC 77 (1973) – horizontal commission – divided in sub- commissions
SC 77A (L.F. ≤ 9 kHz)
SC 77B (H.F. > 9 kHz)
SC 77C (High power transient phenomena)

 International Level (IEC / CISPR)
•  EMC:
CISPR (1933) (The International Special Committee on Radio
Interference).
- Main task: from 9 kHz, prepare standards to protect radio reception
from interference sources (IT, lighting, ISM, …)
- divided in sub-commissions.

25

 European Level (CENELEC)

•  Frequently IEC > CENELEC

•  Divided in commissions and sub-commissions.
•  EMC: TC 210 – horizontal commission – divided in W.G.

 Belgian Level (CEB-BEC)
•  Bureau de Normalisation (NBN)
•  Comité Electrotechnique Belge (CEB-BEC)
•  Membre of IEC and CENELEC. Same TCs.
•  Publication of standards from IEC and CENELEC
•  NBN = Norme Belge – Belgische Norm
