FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for
standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees).
The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning
standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other
activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”).
Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental
and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC
collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance
with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has
representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by
IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the
technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in
which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply
IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional
publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or
regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide
conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not
responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual
experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal
injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or
for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon,
this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced
publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the
subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard CISPR 35 has been prepared by CISPR subcommittee I: Electromagnetic
compatibility of information technology equipment, multimedia equipment and receivers.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
This CISPR document establishes uniform requirements for the electromagnetic immunity of
multimedia equipment. The test methods are given within this document or in referenced basic EMC
immunity standards. This document specifies applicable tests, test levels, product operating conditions
and assessment criteria.

Electromagnetic compatibility of multimedia equipment —


Immunity Requirements

1 Scope
NOTE Blue coloured text within this document indicates text aligned with CISPR 32. CISPR 32 contains the
appropriate emission requirements above 150 kHz for the equipment within the scope of this document.

This document applies to multimedia equipment (MME) as defined in 3.1.24 and having a rated AC or
DC supply voltage not exceeding 600 V.
For MME that falls within the scope of EN  300  386 or any part(s) of EN  301  489 series, the
requirements within these product specific/product family standards take precedence over the
requirements within this document.
MME with a broadcast reception function is within the scope of this document, see Annex A. MME with
non-broadcast wireless interfaces is also within the scope of this document, however, compliance with
this document does not require the assessment of the performance of these interfaces.
MME intended primarily for professional use is within the scope of this document.
MME for which immunity requirements in the frequency range covered by this document are explicitly
formulated in other CISPR documents (except CISPR 20 and CISPR 24) are excluded from the scope of
this document.
The objectives of this document are:
• to establish requirements which provide an adequate level of intrinsic immunity so that the MME
will operate as intended in its environment in the frequency range 0 kHz to 400 GHz;
• to specify procedures to ensure the reproducibility of tests and the repeatability of results.
Due to technology convergence of the functions of MME, the performance criteria have been determined
on a function-orientated basis rather than on an equipment-orientated basis.

4 Requirements

4.1 General requirements


This document contains requirements for immunity testing of MME including: selection of applicable
tests; disturbance levels to be applied during testing; configuration; performance criteria; and
other necessary details. These requirements are contained in the main body of the document and in
various annexes.
In this document, the word “testing” means the application of an EM phenomenon to a port of the EUT
and the assessment of its impact on the primary function(s).
In this document, table clauses are referenced using an x.y format, where x denotes the table and
y denotes that actual clause (or row) within the table. For example, table clause  1.3 is Table 1,
clause (or row) 3.
All aspects of testing the EUT shall be defined and documented by the manufacturer prior to testing in a
test plan. This requirement includes, but is not limited to, the following details: selection of the primary
function(s), the specific performance criteria relevant to these primary functions, and the mode(s) of
operation to be used. These details as a minimum shall be included in the test report.
During testing of ports as specified in Table 1 to Table 4, the primary function(s) shall be monitored and
assessed against the relevant performance criteria.
For primary functions covered within the normative annexes (Annex A through Annex H), the
particular requirements within each of the relevant annexes take precedence over the general
performance criteria given in Clause 8. For primary function(s) not covered by one of these annexes, the
general performance criteria given in Clause 8 apply. Examples of the application of these annexes are
given in Annex J.
Signal processing and data storage functions shall be assessed according to the general performance
criteria given in Clause 8.

  11
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

There are two types of functions:


• Direct functions that can be observed or monitored.
An example of a direct function is the measurement of demodulated tone within a telephone handset
in accordance with Annex H.
• Indirect functions that can only be observed by monitoring direct functions.
An example of an indirect function is the ability of a DVD recorder to store video which may be
assessed for accuracy using the play back function at the completion of the test. In this case, the
video recorded during the entire test would need to be observed and checked for performance
degradation.
The evaluation of indirect functions is achieved by operating the equipment as intended and monitoring
the direct functions to ascertain the performance of the indirect functions. When direct and indirect
functions operate in this way, and the two functions have different performance criteria, the least
stringent of these criteria shall be applied.
To reduce the amount of testing, it is recommended to select one or more modes of operation that
exercise multiple primary functions during the application of each test. As an example, the evaluation
of the data reception, print and display functions of an EUT may be performed while receiving data
from a LAN port. This allows the functions to be exercised in parallel during a single test, thus
reducing test time.
Where a port supports both screened and unscreened cables, unless otherwise specified by the
manufacturer, unscreened cables shall be used during testing.
The immunity tests required by this document shall be carried out individually, in any sequence. The
same sample shall be used for all tests relating to a particular EM phenomenon, however other samples
of the EUT may be used to test against different EM phenomena. These other samples shall be of the
same type, including construction, software, firmware and other elements which may impact the result
of the tests.
The description of the test, the test equipment (for example, generators, amplifiers, transducers and
cables), the test methods, the calibration and/or verification methods and the test setups are given in
the relevant basic EMC publications referenced in Table 1 to Table 4. The content of these documents is
not repeated here; however, modifications or additional information needed for the practical application
of the tests are given in this document.

4.2 Particular requirements

4.2.1 Electrostatic discharges (ESD)

The test procedure shall be in accordance with IEC 61000-4-2:2008. Electrostatic discharges shall
be applied only to points and surfaces of the EUT which are expected to be touched during normal
operation, including user access operations specified in the user manual, for example cleaning or
adding consumables when the EUT is powered. The application of discharges to the contacts of open
connectors is not required.
The number of test points is EUT dependent. Subclause 8.3.1 and Clause A.5 of IEC 61000-4-2:2008
shall be taken into consideration when selecting test points, paying particular attention to keyboards,
dialling pads, power switches, mice, drive slots, card slots, the areas around communication ports, etc.
When applying direct discharges to a portable or handheld battery-powered EUT with a display screen,
it may not be possible to observe the screen for a given EUT orientation. If observation of the screen is
necessary during this test, the EUT may be mounted vertically using non-metallic supports.

BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

4.2.2 Continuous RF disturbances

4.2.2.1 General

The following tests are applied:


• Swept frequency tests across the specified ranges as defined in Table 1 to Table 4.
• Spot frequency tests at a limited number of selected frequencies as defined in Table 1.
• Additional spot frequency tests applicable only for functions where this requirement is specified in
the relevant annex. The required frequencies are given in Clause 5.
Recognising that a 1 % step size is preferred, the frequency range can be swept incrementally with a
step size not exceeding 4 % of the previous frequency with a test level of twice the value of the specified
test level in order to reduce the testing time for equipment requiring testing in multiple configurations
and/or long cycle times. The step size and test level used shall be recorded in the test report.
The test level specified is the rms voltage level of the unmodulated signal.
The disturbance test signal shall be 80 % amplitude modulated by a sine wave, preferably having a
frequency of 1 kHz. A frequency other than 1 kHz may be used where permitted within this document
(for example Clause G.3). The reason for this selection shall be included in the test report.
The dwell time at each frequency shall not be less than the time necessary for the EUT to be exercised
and to be able to respond. However, the dwell time should not exceed 5 s at each of the frequencies
during the scan.
When testing an EUT with a radio reception function, the radio reception function is not expected to
operate normally when the test frequency is within the band where the radio reception function is
designed to operate. For broadcast reception functions see Annex A.

4.2.2.2 Continuous RF electromagnetic field disturbances

The test procedure shall be in accordance with IEC 61000-4-3:2006/AMD1:2007/AMD2:2010,


IEC 61000-4-20:2010 or IEC 61000-4-21:2011.
When testing using IEC 61000-4-3:2006/AMD1:2007/AMD2:2010 or IEC 61000-4-20:2010, if the
most sensitive face (or side) of the EUT is known throughout the frequency range (for example, via
preliminary tests), testing may be restricted to that side only.
The dwell time requirements at each frequency as defined in 4.2.2.1 shall be applied for each face (or
side) of the EUT, antenna position and polarization, or layout of the stirrer.
When testing to the requirements defined in table clause 1.3 (spot frequency testing above 1 GHz), the
radiated field illumination of the EUT using the ‘independent windows method’ specified in IEC 61000-
4-3:2006/AMD1:2007/AMD2:2010, Annex H may be used.
Partial illumination as defined in IEC 61000-4-3:2006/AMD1:2007/AMD2:2010 may be used:
• if the EUT is too large to fit within the UFA;
• if the EUT consists of separate modules which cannot be tested separately and is too large to fit
within the UFA.
When testing in a TEM cell the EUT shall meet the definition of ‘small equipment’ specified in
IEC 61000-4-20:2010.
NOTE Further information is given in Annex I for specific radio technologies. See Table I.1 for more
specific details.

  13
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

4.2.2.3 Continuous induced RF disturbances

The test procedure shall be in accordance with IEC 61000-4-6:2008.


Multi-conductor cables shall be tested as a single cable. Cables shall not be split or divided into groups
of conductors for this test. Where an appropriate CDN is not available for the single cable including all
the conductors, use Figure 1 from IEC 61000-4-6:2008 to determine the suitable injection method.
When using injection clamps (including EM clamps and current probes) an additional isolation device
may be required to protect the AE.

4.2.3 Power frequency magnetic field

The test procedure shall be in accordance with IEC 61000-4-8:2009. The proximity method may be used.

4.2.4 Electrical fast transients/burst (EFT/B)

The test procedure shall be in accordance with IEC 61000-4-4:2012.


Multi-conductor cables shall be tested as a single cable. Cables shall not be split or divided into groups
of conductors for this test.

4.2.5 Surges

The test procedure shall be in accordance with IEC 61000-4-5:2005.


Further guidance for surge testing wired network ports is also found in the ITU recommendations, for
example, ITU-T K.20, ITU-T K.21, ITU-T K.43 (including test setup information) and ITU-T K.48:2006
(including Clause 7 for operational condition and Clause 8 for specific performance criteria).
The requirement in the basic standard to test a previously unstressed EUT is not applicable. Therefore
a stressed or unstressed EUT may be tested or the protection devices may be replaced before the test,
as specified by the manufacturer.

4.2.6 Voltage dips and interruptions

The test procedure shall be in accordance with IEC 61000-4-11:2004.

4.2.7 Broadband impulsive conducted disturbances

Repetitive noise impulses and isolated noise impulses are applied to xDSL ports of the EUT. The
requirements for the test level, burst duration and burst period for the two tests are given in Table 2.
This test procedure is based upon the CDN method defined in IEC 61000-4-6:2008, but with the signal
generator replaced by a generator capable of producing bursts of white noise. See Figure 2.

Figure 2 — Example schematic of the broadband impulsive conducted disturbances test setup

The white noise burst should be derived from a longer sequence pseudo-random near-Gaussian white
noise generator that may be band-limited to the highest frequency used by the xDSL technology or

14 
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

30 MHz, whichever is the lowest. This may be generated from an arbitrary waveform source. The length
of the sequence from which the noise bursts are generated shall be at least 128 K samples.
The amplifier and CDN used shall have a uniform frequency response that does not change by more than
3 dB over the frequency range that extends from 150 kHz to the highest frequency used by the xDSL
technology or 30 MHz, whichever is the lowest. It is recommended that the CDN should have an LCL
of at least 60 dB over the relevant frequency range. Equipment that satisfies the performance criteria
when tested using a CDN with a lower LCL value shall be deemed to meet the requirements.
NOTE 1 A CDN with an LCL of less than 60 dB is more likely to cause failures due to the differential mode
signal generated by the lower LCL value of the CDN.

The LCL of the CDN shall be measured in accordance with CISPR 16-1-2:2014.


The ratio of the peak value to the rms value of the signal at the CDN input port shall be at least 4,0.
A level setting procedure similar to that in IEC 61000-4-6:2008 shall be used. The specified test level is
established using a spectrum analyser in peak detection mode with a resolution bandwidth of 10 kHz,
and a video bandwidth of less than or equal to 10 Hz. The EUT port of the coupling device is connected in
common mode through a 150 Ω to 50 Ω adapter to a spectrum analyser having a 50 Ω input impedance.
The test generator shall be adjusted to give the level specified in table clause 2.2 at the EUT port of the
coupling device, using the setup shown in Figure 8c of the basic standard IEC 61000-4-6:2008.
For the repetitive impulse test the disturbance shall be applied for a period of at least 2 min for each
port under test.
For the isolated impulse test a minimum of 5 isolated impulses shall be applied with an interval of at
least 60 s between successive impulses.
NOTE 2 The relationship between the measured level (M) in dBµV and the test level (T) in dBµV as defined in
table clause 2.2 or 2.3 is given by:

where:

A1 = 9,6 dB (150 Ω to 50 Ω converter loss)


A2 = 6 dB (e.m.f. correction, 50 Ω termination of signal generator output)
A3 = 12 dB for the averaging caused by the video bandwidth reduction
NOTE 3 For xDSL lines the test levels were derived from a spectral power density (dBm/Hz) of -43
dBm/Hz where

where:

A1 = 40 dB (10 kHz bandwidth factor)


A2 = –10 dB (mW to V conversion for 100 Ω impedance)
A3 = 120 dB (V to µV conversion)

BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

5 Immunity requirements
Tests shall be applied to the EUT according to Table 1 to Table 4 and 4.1.
Where a manufacturer determines from the electrical characteristics and intended usage of the EUT
that one or more of the tests are unnecessary, the decision and justification not to perform these tests
shall be recorded in the test report.
Throughout Clause 5:
• Where the amplitude of a test level varies over a given frequency range, it changes linearly with
respect to the logarithm of the frequency. For example, a graphical representation of the continuous
induced RF disturbances levels defined in table clause 2.1 is presented in Figure 3.

Figure 3 — Graphical representation of the continuous induced RF disturbances levels defined


in table clause 2.1

• Where there is a step in the relevant test level, the higher value shall be applied at the
transition frequency.
• Combination surge waveforms are defined in the format of open circuit voltage (short circuit
current) Tr/T h µs, for example 1,2/50 (8/20) µs where 1,2/50 relates to voltage and (8/20) to current.
• The test conditions shall be within:
a) the operating ranges of voltage and frequency as specified for the EUT, having regard to the
supply voltage and frequency for the intended market of the EUT.
Testing at nominal voltage(s) of 230 V (±10 V) and/or 110 V (±10 V), using a frequency of 50 Hz
or 60 Hz, is normally sufficient for an EUT intended for worldwide use.
b) the environmental parameters (temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure) specified
for the EUT.
c) the environmental parameters specified within the relevant basic standard.
No additional environmental parameters are defined. It is not necessary to repeat measurements at
more than one set of environmental parameters.
• During continuous induced RF disturbances testing, where equipment operates upon or processes
chrominance or similar signals modulated on a subcarrier (for example, PAL, NTSC or SECAM

16 
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

composite systems), the performance criterion B shall be used when testing within ±1,5 MHz of the
relevant subcarrier frequency.
• During continuous RF disturbance testing, additional spot frequency tests are required for
equipment with a primary function of telephony, subject to the limitations specified in Table H.1.
The additional spot frequencies are:
— 0,2 MHz; 1 MHz; 7,1 MHz; 13,56 MHz; 21 MHz; 27,12 MHz and 40,68 MHz (±1 %) for continuous
induced RF disturbances; and,
— 80 MHz; 120 MHz; 160 MHz; 230 MHz; 434 MHz; 460 MHz; 600 MHz; 863 MHz and 900 MHz
(±1 %) for continuous RF radiated electromagnetic field disturbances.
• Continuous RF electromagnetic field disturbance testing is not applicable to broadcast receivers
with no coaxial antenna connector (see Annex A) and not applicable to battery powered music
players with no external power or charging capability.

6 Documentation

6.1 Test report


General guidance for compiling a test report can be found in ISO/IEC 17025:2005, 5.10. Sufficient details,
including, where appropriate, photographs of the test configuration, shall be provided to facilitate
reproducibility.
The test report shall describe any special measures that were required to ensure EMC compliant
operation of the EUT. One example would be the need to use shielded or special cables.

6.2 Advice to end-users


The user documentation shall describe any special measures required to be taken by the user or
installer to ensure EMC compliance of the EUT with the requirements of this document. One example
would be the need to use shielded or special cables.

7 Test configuration
The intention of this document is to assess the immunity of the EUT in a manner that is consistent with
its typical arrangement and use. Other arrangements may be used, for example to reduce test time, as
long as these arrangements can be shown not to have a significant effect on the performance of the EUT.
The EUT arrangement shall be noted in the test report.
If the equipment is part of a system or can be connected to AE, then the equipment shall be tested
while connected to at least the minimum representative arrangement of AE necessary to exercise the
primary functions of the EUT.
Where the EUT has a set of similar ports or modules and engineering judgement indicates that these
have similar immunity characteristics, the minimum representative configuration may use a subset
of those ports or modules. The representative configuration of port(s) or modules(s) shall be clearly
identified in the test report.
A cable shall be connected to at least one port of each type and this port shall be exercised.
Table 5 describes the preferred EUT arrangement. When applying the requirements of Table 5, refer to
the text of each basic standard or test method to determine whether the test arrangement identified as
‘table-top’ requires a support table during a particular test.

Table 5 — Test arrangements of EUT


Intended operational arrange‑ Test arrangement (See Basic Stand‑ Remarks

mounted on a ceiling, the down‑
ward-facing portion of the EUT may
be oriented facing upward.
If a physical hazard would be caused by testing the device on a table-top, then it can be tested as floor standing
and the test report shall document the decision and justification.

  23
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

In cases where the manufacturer’s specification or user documentation includes a clear requirement for
external protection devices or special measures to achieve EMC compliance (such as additional earthing),
the test requirements of this document shall be applied with these devices or measures in place.
Where the manufacturer provides cables with the EUT, these cables shall be used during testing. If
cables are not supplied, suitable cables of the type appropriate for the signals processed, and conforming
to any special requirements clearly stated in the user documentation or manual, shall be used. Coil
cables (such as keyboard cables) shall not be intentionally stretched during testing. For such cables, the
length specified in the table notes is the unstretched length.
If an earth connection independent of the power supply cable is provided, this earth connection shall be
installed according to the specifications of the manufacturer during all tests.
Equipment with a dedicated AC/DC power converter shall be tested as AC mains powered equipment. If
available, the power converter provided from the manufacturer shall be used.

8 General performance criteria

8.1 General
General performance criteria are defined in 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4. These criteria shall be used during the
testing of primary functions where no relevant annex is applicable.
When assessing the impact of a disturbance on a function, the assessment should take into consideration
the function’s performance prior to the application of the disturbance and only identify as failures those
changes in performance that are a result of the disturbance.

8.2 Performance criterion A


The equipment shall continue to operate as intended without operator intervention. No degradation
of performance, loss of function or change of operating state is allowed below a performance level
specified by the manufacturer when the equipment is used as intended. The performance level may be
replaced by a permissible loss of performance. If the minimum performance level or the permissible
performance loss is not specified by the manufacturer, then either of these may be derived from
the product description and documentation, and by what the user may reasonably expect from the
equipment if used as intended.

8.3 Performance criterion B


During the application of the disturbance, degradation of performance is allowed. However, no
unintended change of actual operating state or stored data is allowed to persist after the test.
After the test, the equipment shall continue to operate as intended without operator intervention; no
degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed, below a performance level specified by the
manufacturer, when the equipment is used as intended. The performance level may be replaced by a
permissible loss of performance.
If the minimum performance level (or the permissible performance loss), or recovery time, is not
specified by the manufacturer, then either of these may be derived from the product description and
documentation, and by what the user may reasonably expect from the equipment if used as intended.

8.4 Performance criterion C


Loss of function is allowed, provided the function is self-recoverable, or can be restored by the operation
of the controls by the user in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. A reboot or re-start
operation is allowed.
Information stored in non-volatile memory, or protected by a battery backup, shall not be lost.

24 
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

9 Compliance with this document


Compliance with this document requires the EUT to satisfy the requirements defined in Table 1 to
Table 4 as appropriate. An EUT which fulfils these requirements is deemed to fulfil the requirements in
the entire frequency range from 0 Hz to 400 GHz. No tests need be performed at frequencies where no
requirement is specified.
Where this document gives options for testing particular requirements with a choice of test methods,
compliance can be shown against any of the test methods using the appropriate performance criterion.
In any situation where it is necessary to re-test the equipment to show compliance with this document,
the test method, configuration and parameters (for example, the reference levels according to Annex G)
originally chosen shall be used in order to guarantee consistency of the results, unless it is agreed by
the manufacturer to do otherwise.
Equipment is considered to be non-compliant where any primary function fails to meet the specified
performance criteria. These failures may have been observed directly or indirectly. See 4.1.
The determination of compliance shall be based solely on the immunity performance of the EUT and
not be affected by the lack of immunity of any AE.
Compliance can be shown by testing the EUT operating all primary functions simultaneously,
individually, or any combination thereof.

10 Test uncertainty
Tests are performed using equipment and facilities as specified in the relevant basic standards. The
uncertainty related to test instrument calibration and test levels need not be recorded in the test report
and shall not be taken into account.
In particular the test parameters specified in Table 1 to Table 4 shall not be changed to take test
uncertainty into account.

BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

Annex A
(normative)

Broadcast reception function

A.1 General
A broadcast receiver is designed to receive very weak RF signals in specific broadcast bands. Most
commercial broadcast receivers will show a degradation of performance when an immunity test signal
defined in table clause 1.2 is applied in the broadcast band for which the receiver is designed.
These receivers may have antennas attached, or be connected to complicated cable distribution systems,
and hence the effective immunity protection required to pass the tests given in Table 1 to Table 4 is not
achievable. In addition, the use of the broadcast reception bands is strictly controlled under various
national and international regulations. Some of these regulations limit the interfering signals which
would be apparent in these bands and others allow additional services to be operated. Hence different
approaches may be required based upon the region in which the device is intended to operate.
Annex A defines:
• the function to be tested,
• the mode(s) of operation of the broadcast receiver during the test(s),
• any deviations from the test levels defined in Table 1 to Table 4,
• any deviations from the general immunity criteria defined in Clause 8.

A.2 Applicability
Annex A applies to MME with a broadcast reception function. This function enables the EUT to receive
analogue or digitally modulated sound or television broadcast signals via an integral or external
antenna or cable.
MME with a broadcast reception function, and no port for external signal connection, is excluded from
tests requiring performance criterion A.
For the purpose of Annex A broadcast reception equipment is classified as follows:
Group 1: equipment in which the desired RF broadcast signal enters the equipment through a coaxial
broadcast receiver tuner port. See 3.1.8. These coaxial ports are intended to be connected via a coaxial
cable to an antenna or a cable distribution system.
Group 2: broadcast reception equipment which is not included in Group 1.
AM/FM/DAB equipment with a coaxial broadcast receiver tuner port is classified as Group 2 equipment
if the manufacturer declares that the equipment is not intended to be connected to a CATV or other
cable distribution network.

A.3 Mode of operation


The broadcast reception function shall be tested in each reception mode for which the receiver is
designed, for example analogue reception, DVB-T, DVB-T2, DVB-C, DVB-C2, DVB-S, DVB-S2. The receiver
shall be tuned to one channel and provided with an appropriate wanted signal on that channel as
described in Table A.1 or other input typical of normal use.

26 
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

Preliminary tests may be performed to determine the worst case mode of operation and tuned channel,
which will be used for formal testing. The conclusions shall be recorded in the test report.

Annex B
(normative)

Print function

B.1 Applicability
The print function is the rendering of patterns on to media, to create patterns that are readable by
humans or machines by sensing the reflection or transmission of light, and that are retained on the
media after the print function has ended. The patterns may include text, photographs, drawings, bar
codes, or other patterns.
The image content exists as analogue or digital electrical signals during or immediately prior to
printing. The print function may render the image on various types of media such as paper, cloth,
ceramic, or film. The image may be rendered onto the media using a number of materials such as dyes,
pigments, inks, thermoplastic toners, or waxes. The image may also be rendered onto the media by a
variety of processes such as exposing the media to heat or light.
Functions designed to store large amounts of data for magneto-optical retrieval, such as in a DVD
recorder, are not covered by Annex B.

B.2 Mode of operation


Printing shall be performed in the presence of the EM disturbance, and the results shall be compared
with results in undisturbed operation.
A particular test pattern is not specified, but a suitable image and conditions shall be selected so as to
evaluate the performance specified by the manufacturer. The following are examples of features for a
test pattern:
• text with three or more font types or sizes;
• one or more grids of lines, to aid in detecting any stretch or compression of the printed image;
• some regions of the image should include the highest possible detail resolution (dots per centimetre
or per square centimetre);
• various levels of shading or half-toning;
• multiple colours, where available.

B.3 Performance criteria


B.3.1 Performance criterion A
Apply criterion A as defined in 8.2. Additionally, the following shall not occur as a consequence of the
application of the disturbance:
• change of operating state;
• unintended pausing of the print operation;
• a change of print quality or legibility, as appropriate to the test pattern;
• change of character font;

30 
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

• unintended line feed;


• unintended page feed;
• paper feed failure.

B.3.2 Performance criterion B


Apply criterion B as defined in 8.3 with the following specifics and additional limitations.
Paper feed failures are allowed only if, after removal of the jammed sheets, the job is automatically
recovered and there is no loss of printed information.
Any low-quality print output caused by the application of the disturbance shall not continue beyond
the sheet of media being printed, or beyond the typical length of a finished page or sheet printed from
continuous roll media.
False indicators are permitted during the test provided that a normal operator response to that false
indicator is simple (such as pressing a button). False indicators are not acceptable if they would cause
the user to discard printing supplies such as ink, toner or paper, when those supplies are actually not
empty or faulty. Any false indicator shall either clear automatically or after the operator’s response.
After the disturbance, the print function may print the remainder of the print job at a quality level
within the manufacturer’s specifications. Alternately, the print function may halt processing of a print
job as a result of the disturbance, but only if the operator is capable of reprinting the job (for example, a
fax printing job where the image to be printed still resides in local memory). Automatically restarting
the print job from the beginning is also acceptable. In any scenario, the pairing of front and back images
during double-sided printing shall be correct.

B.3.3 Performance criterion C


Apply criterion C as defined in 8.4.

Annex C
(normative)

Scan function

C.1 Applicability
The scan function illuminates an object, or part of an object, and creates an electronic representation of
an image of the object. Flat bed scanners, bar code scanners, finger print readers and copying machines
typically have functions within the scope of Annex C.
Functions designed to record images of complex 3-dimensional shapes, distant objects, or moving
action, such as those in most digital cameras or video cameras, are outside the scope of Annex C.

C.2 Mode of operation


Scanning shall be performed during the test, and the results of the scanning shall be compared with the
results generated when not subject to interfering signals.
The object scanned shall be appropriate for the type of scanner and shall be sufficiently complex to
allow the performance of the EUT to be evaluated.
The test object for a document scanner should include the following features:
• text with three or more font types;
• one or more grids of lines, to aid in detecting any stretch or compression of scanned images;
• image content in various parts of the scanned area that has fine detail, to aid in detecting changes
to scan resolution (pixels per centimetre or per square centimetre);
• various levels of shading or half-toning;
• multiple colours, if the scan function is designed to detect colour variations.

C.3 Performance criteria


C.3.1 Performance criterion A
Apply criterion A as defined in 8.2. Additionally, the following shall not occur as a consequence of the
application of the test:
• change of settings, such as which side(s) of the page to be scanned, colour or monochrome,
and resolution;
• corruption of the image, for example stretching, compressing or change in colour;
• paper feed failures;
• errors in the reading of bar codes.

32 
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

C.3.2 Performance criterion B


Apply criterion B as defined in 8.3 with the following specifics and additional limitations:
• Document feed failures are allowed only if the original documents are undamaged and, after removal
of the jammed sheets, the job is automatically recovered and there is no loss of scanned information.
• During the test, the representation of the image shall not be degraded such that reading
mistakes occur.

Annex D
(normative)

Display and display output functions

D.1 Applicability
A display function is the presentation of an image or sequence of images to a viewer. It does not
include images presented on removable media, such a sheets of paper. Examples of equipment with a
display function are: TV set; notebook computer; computer monitor; calculator; telephone; electronic
musical instrument.
A display output function creates a set of signals representing visual information, and presents those
signals at a port intended by the manufacturer for direct connection to external equipment having a
display function. Examples of equipment with display output functions are DVD player; set-top box;
DVR; HDD player; personal computer.
Video outputs intended for further processing (and that are not intended to be directly connected to a
display) are outside the scope of Annex D.

D.2 Mode of operation


D.2.1 Test signals and conditions
The EUT shall be exercised with the most complex image from Table D.1 that it is capable of displaying.
Where the user can select different spatial resolutions or field/frame rates, the highest number of
pixels and field/frame rates that are typical of normal use shall be selected. When there is more than
one display or display output, each display or display output shall be configured using this requirement
and taking into account the maximum performance of each display or display output.
Where an input signal to the EUT is required to provide the displayed image, the characteristics of that
input signal (for example, its amplitude) shall be typical of normal use.
The display images may be modified, when necessary to monitor primary functions of the EUT. Where
possible, these modifications should be restricted to the bottom or top half of the display area so that
the image defined in Table D.1 fills the majority of the display.

lished by the manufacturer.
The text display image, complexity 2, shall be used when the power frequency magnetic field test (table

D.2.2 Display evaluation, for continuous disturbances

D.2.2.1 General

The display quality or signal quality of a display output shall be evaluated by using a subjective or
automated method as defined below.

D.2.2.2 Subjective display evaluation

The display quality can be evaluated either by means of a video camera monitoring system as defined
in D.2.2.4 or by direct observation.
For display output function evaluation, a suitable display device shall be connected. This device shall
meet the immunity requirements for displays specified in this document. The screen size shall be
typical for the display output. If the output is intended for display complexities 3 or 4 (in Table D.1) the
diagonal screen size shall be at least 0,50 m.
The display shall be observed under normal viewing conditions including viewing distance using a
reduced ambient light level preferably in the range 15 lx to 20 lx. The viewing distance or settings of the
video camera monitoring system shall be sufficient to provide visibility of the whole display. In the case
of direct observation the selected viewing distance shall be recorded in the test report.

D.2.2.3 Automated display evaluation

D.2.2.3.1 General

It should be noted that the automated method described here may not be suitable for all types of
displays. Other automated methods of image evaluation may be used.
Devices that are used to capture or display the image shall have sufficient EMC immunity to allow
assessment of the EUT performance.
If the output image from the video camera system is degraded by alias patterns due to the re-sampling
of the displayed image by the video camera, the video camera should be slightly defocussed so as to
reduce the alias patterns to a level that will not influence the measurement result.

D.2.2.3.2 Measurement method

The automated display evaluation is a comparison of a reference image (captured while not subjected
to the RF disturbance) and the image from the display during the immunity test. The display image may

36 
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

be viewed directly from the EUT, or indirectly from an external device attached to a display output of
the EUT. As an alternative, the image may be analysed electronically by coupling the display output to
an image evaluation tool.
The image evaluation algorithm calculates the reference for the subsequent quality assessment. The
display image is captured from the EUT by a video camera system or, for a display output, directly
from the output signal. The image evaluation algorithm (for example in accordance with CISPR TR 29)
calculates the maximum deviation and compares the result with the reference.
An example test setup for using a video camera system is shown in Figure  D.2. The test setup for
capturing the image directly from the display output of the EUT is shown in Figure D.3.
For the video camera capture method the following apply:
• It is necessary to ensure a precise alignment of the optical axis of the video camera system with the
perpendicular axis of the EUT display to avoid geometric distortions and systematic error.
• If the video generator provides a reference synchronisation signal output, the video camera system
and the video generator should be operated in synchronism.

D.2.2.4 Characteristics of a measurement video monitor camera system

The video camera monitoring system shall be capable of reproducing the image created by the EUT well
enough to allow detection of image defects. In particular, the quality of the camera’s resolution and lens
needs to be adequate for transmitting various kinds of picture disturbances correctly, and the settings
of the camera have to be chosen carefully in order to ensure an accurate picture transmission. The
camera system shall not introduce picture errors. See Table D.2 for specific characteristics.

Table D.2 — Characteristics of a measurement video camera monitor system


Specification Remarks
Number of CCD: 3 or 1 A 3-CCD camera has high fidelity for reproduction of picture and less deviation
among cameras.
A 1-CCD camera has colour filters to generate the colour signal. The filter character‑
istic is product dependent. These cameras have a reduced colour resolution.
Gamma correction: OFF This sets the input-output characteristic linear and reduces the deviation of output
level among cameras.
Aperture correction: The value of compensation is product dependent.
OFF
Gain: 0 dB This should not be in AGC mode because AGC response is product dependent.
Iris: f/5,6 The camera’s output should not exceed its nominal white level for a peak white dis‑
play on the EUT.
White balance: Auto Set with a 100 % white signal after setting the iris.
For display images with complexity 1 or 2 (for example indicator lights, seven-segment display) a 1-CCD cam‑
era is sufficient.
If necessary, the iris should be adjusted by monitoring the camera output with a suitable video measurement
instrument when the EUT screen is displaying 100% white. The measurement should be made at the centre of
the image. For example, a measurement at the midpoint of line 160 is appropriate for a 625-line camera.

D.2.3 Display evaluation for power frequency magnetic field testing


The peak-to-peak positional disturbance (jitter) due to the disturbance shall be measured, for example
by means of a measuring microscope as specified in 6.6.14 of ISO 9241-3:1992.

38 
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

D.3 Performance criteria


D.3.1 Performance criterion A for continuous radiated and conducted
disturbances tests
Apply criterion A as defined in 8.2. Additionally, an increase in any degradation greater than just
perceptible by observation of the image shall not occur as a consequence of the application of the test.
Examples of such degradations are:
• superimposed patterning;
• positional disturbances due to synchronisation errors;
• geometric distortion;
• change of contrast or brightness;
• picture artefacts;
• freezing or disturbance of motion;
• image loss;
• video data or decoding errors.

D.3.2 Performance criterion A for the power frequency magnetic field tests
Alternative 1: A continuous magnetic field of 1 A/m:

The jitter (in mm) shall not exceed the value


Alternative 2: An increased power frequency magnetic field ≤ 50 A/m:
The amplitude of the disturbing field shall be increased by a factor K, where 1 ≤ K ≤ 50. The jitter shall
not exceed K times the value given in alternative 1. The value of K should be chosen to avoid saturation
of any magnetic screening materials.
When the EUT is subjected to fields above K  =  1 and the performance criteria are satisfied for all
relevant functions of the EUT, the EUT shall be deemed to satisfy the requirement. When the EUT is
subjected to fields above K = 1 and the display function is shown to meet these performance criteria,
but the performance criteria for other relevant functions are NOT satisfied, the EUT shall be retested at
K = 1 (the field level required in table clause 1.1) to assess compliance for those other functions.

D.3.3 Performance criterion B


Apply criterion B as defined in 8.3.

D.3.4 Performance criterion C


Apply criterion C as defined in 8.4.

Annex E
(normative)

Musical tone generating function

E.1 Applicability
The musical tone generating function is the reproduction of musical tones having pitch, loudness and
sound type, which are individually and independently altered and controlled in accordance with control
data from a keyboard controller or other control device. Examples of equipment having a musical tone
generating function include:
• electronic piano,
• electronic organ,
• synthesizer,
• musical tone generator without keyboard.
Annex E does not apply to simple tones for alarms, warnings, time markers or simple feedback ‘beeps’
and that are typically output from equipment such as clocks, microwave ovens, and timers.

E.2 Mode of operation


To generate musical tones, auto-play or demonstration modes shall be used. Tone generation shall be
performed during the test and the sound generated shall be compared with the sound generated when
not subject to interfering signals.
The sequence of tones used for test may be a combination of simple musical phrases (a group of musical
notes) for example repeated playing of ‘sol-fa’.

E.3 Performance criteria


E.3.1 General
The particular performance criteria for evaluating the musical tone generating function are defined in
E.3.2, E.3.3 and E.3.4.

E.3.2 Performance criterion A


Performance criterion A is subdivided according to the type of equipment and its use. Three subgroups
corresponding to different equipment types are defined in Table E.1 and have corresponding
performance criteria A1, A2 and A3. The relevant subgroup shall be selected by the manufacturer in
accordance with the product specification. The description of criteria A1, A2 and A3 are presented
in Table E.2.

During the test no performance degradation other than that permitted by this table is allowed. After the test
the EUT shall operate without performance degradation.

E.3.3 Performance criterion B


During the test, degradation of performance beyond that defined in criterion A1 of Table E.2 is allowed.
However, sudden amplification of tone to a level that exceeds the expected level by more than 6 dB is
not allowed.
After the test, normal operation of the EUT shall be self-recovered.
In the case of unintended tone holding caused by a MIDI protocol communication error, the EUT can be
re-initialised by the operation of the controls by the user controls in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Due to the nature of the MIDI protocol, it is necessary to modify the performance criterion B to allow
user intervention when the unintended tone holding is caused by a missing MIDI communication error
(for example missing a ‘NOTE OFF’ message).

E.3.4 Performance criterion C


Degradation of the performance beyond that defined in criterion A1 of Table E.2 is permitted provided
that the normal operation of the EUT can be restored after the test by operator intervention. However,
sudden amplification of tone to a level that exceeds the expected level by more than 6 dB is not allowed.

Annex F
(normative)

Networking functions

F.1 Applicability
F.1.1 General
Annex  F contains specific performance criteria and operational conditions related to networking
functions. Equipment that provides these functions transmits and receives data through ports such as
an analogue/digital data port. Networking functions are described further in the following subgroups:
• network switching and routing, F.1.2,
• data transmission, F.1.3,
• supervisory, F.1.4.

F.1.2 Switching and routing function


The network switching and routing function connects multiple networks or network segments
together, to enable data flow between different networks or network segments. Network segments may
be analogue or digital. Equipment with a network switching function includes but is not limited to: local
telephone exchanges, remote network switching concentrators, international switches, telex switches,
network packet switches, base station controllers, radio network controllers, and, network servers and
gateways. Equipment with a routing function includes, but is not limited to gateways, network servers
and network routers.
Packet-based routing and network switching functions are very similar; the differences include, but are
not limited to, minor changes in data format, and addressing instructions. Based on these similarities,
these functions should be treated in a similar manner.

F.1.3 Data transmission function


The data transmission function is the sending and receiving of data over long distances through an
analogue/digital data port. Equipment with a transmission function includes but is not limited to
analogue modems, ISDN terminals, xDSL systems, routers, multiplexers, line equipment and repeaters
(SDH, PDH, ATM), digital cross connect systems, network terminations and other access network, WAN
or LAN equipment.

  43
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

F.1.4 Supervisory function


The supervisory function provides several network management capabilities including network
efficiency, alarm monitoring, fault detection and recovery, test and diagnostics, or network
maintenance. Equipment with a supervisory function includes but is not limited to network management
equipment, operator access maintenance equipment, traffic measurement systems, line test units and
functional test units.

F.2 Specific terminology for use within Annex F


dBm
power P in W of a signal expressed as a ratio x dB to 1 mW, calculated as

where for an rms voltage V (V) across a resistance R (Ω)


NOTE In access telecommunication systems which are 600  Ω systems, 0 dBm corresponds to
approximately 775 mV.

F.3 General requirements for network functions


F.3.1 General
Subclauses F.1.2 to F.3.3.3 give general requirements for network functions. More specific requirements
for certain network functions or technologies are defined in Clause F.4 and shall be applied in addition
to the general requirements of Clause F.3.

F.3.2 Configuration
The configuration shall:
• include a representative system with end-to-end functionality employing suitable network elements,
simulators or call generators;
• provide a stable method to monitor the signal quality during testing.
Traffic passing through the switch, modem, terminal, router or transmission system shall simulate
the various types of supported protocols. The loading of the system (the amount of traffic or number
of calls established/re-established) shall be representative of normal operation. Where possible,
signal levels transmitted and received at analogue/digital data ports shall be at a level representative
of a typical installation. It may be determined by the manufacturer that one data rate (or type of
transmission) represents a worst-case. In such a case, the test may be performed in only that worst-
case operating mode.
Equipment used to develop this representative configuration may include, but is not limited to:
• simulators,
• dummy loads,
• loopback cables,
• line attenuators,
• other network equipment,
• software emulators,

44 
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

• call traffic generators.


Where loopback cables are used to interconnect systems and ports, they should simulate normal
impedance, network insertion loss, grounding and connection practices. Further guidance is given in
ITU-T recommendations K.48 and K.43.
All supervisory functions shall be monitored.

F.3.3 Performance criteria

F.3.3.1 Performance criterion A

Where relevant, during the application of the test the network function shall, as a minimum, operate
ensuring that:
• established connections shall be maintained throughout the application of the test;
• no change of operational state or corruption of stored data occurs;
• no increase in error rate above the figure defined by the manufacturer occurs. The manufacturer
should select the most appropriate performance measurement criteria for the product or system,
for example bit error rate, block error rate;
• no request for retry above the figure defined by the manufacturer;
• the data transmission rate does not reduce below the figure defined by the manufacturer;
• no protocol failure occurs;
• the audio noise level at a two-wire analogue interface (supporting telephony) shall satisfy the
requirements of Table G.3. The audio level measurements shall be performed at the demodulated
frequency of the disturbance using a narrowband filter with a 3 dB bandwidth of 100 Hz using the
method defined in table clause G.1.4. See G.6.1.
As described in the example given in J.3.5 the networking function is monitored during testing using
direct functions specified elsewhere in this document.
If needed to verify the operation of the protocol, the following functions shall be verified as described
in Table H.1 when performing the additional spot frequency tests contained in Clause 5:
• ability to establish a connection,
• ability to clear a connection.
Where an EUT has supervisory functions they shall not be affected. Elements that should be monitored
include, but are not limited to:
• alarms,
• signalling lamps,
• printer output errors,
• network traffic rates,
• network monitor errors,
• measured network parameters.

F.3.3.2 Performance criterion B

Established connections shall be maintained throughout the test, or shall self-recover in a way and
timescale that is imperceptible to the user.

  45
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

The error rate, request for retry and data transmission rates may be degraded during the application
of the test. Degradation of the performance as described in criterion A is permitted, provided that the
normal operation of the EUT is self-recoverable to the condition established prior to the application
of the test.
Where required, as defined in Clause 5, the acceptable operation of the function shall be verified at the
completion of the test as described in Table H.1, by confirming the following:
• the EUT’s ability to establish a connection,
• the EUT’s ability to clear a connection.
During surge testing disconnection is allowed on the analogue/digital data port being tested.
If the EUT is a supervisory equipment, it shall not impact the normal operation of the network being
monitored. In addition, any supervisory functions impacted during the period of the test shall return to
the state prior to the test. Elements to consider include:
• alarms,
• signalling lamps,
• printer output,
• network traffic rates,
• network monitoring.

F.3.3.3 Performance criterion C

Degradation of performance as described in criteria A and B is permitted provided that the normal
operation of the EUT is self-recoverable to the condition immediately before the application of the test,
or can be restored after the test by the operator.

F.4 Requirements for CPE containing xDSL ports


F.4.1 Configuration and mode of operation
Typically the equipment shall be configured as shown in Figure  F.1. The EMC test equipment
is not shown.

Figure F.1 — xDSL access system configuration

46 
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

For passband systems such as ADSL and VDSL the EUT typically comprises an xDSL modem and
splitter/filter via which the POTS/ISDN port is presented. The modem and splitter may be separate
units or combined into one unit.
The splitter and AE shown in grey in Figure F.1, are required only for systems that support this function,
hence they are not needed for systems such as HDSL and SHDSL.
Typical far end crosstalk (FEXT) impairment shall be injected in differential mode into the cable pair
during testing along with an input power level of Gaussian white noise equivalent to –140 dBm/Hz.
NOTE Further guidance can be found in Broadband Forum documents TR-100:2007, section  7.3.3 for
ADSL2/ADSL2+ and WT-114 for VDSL2.

Immunity testing shall be performed with the digital transmission system trained-up and operating at
its nominal transmission rate such that the full frequency spectrum used by the system is utilised. If
the system can be operated in asymmetric and symmetric modes then testing shall be carried out for
each of these modes of operation. For ADSL and VDSL applications, ports shall be configured in rate
adaptive mode. For HDSL and SHDSL, the data rate shall be set at 1 Mbit/s.
Further details can be found in the documents given in Table F.1.

G.3 Overview
G.3.1 General
Specific performance criteria are given in G.7. These include a requirement for maintenance of the audio
output function, and interference ratio limits.
During the evaluation of performance criterion A according to Annex G, the level of audio interference
due to the applied continuous RF disturbance is measured and compared with a defined reference level
that lies within the normal dynamic range of the EUT.
The typical disturbance signal consists of a continuous RF signal 80  %  AM modulated with a 1  kHz
sine wave. The 1 kHz modulation may be replaced by a different audio modulation frequency more
appropriate for a given EUT if, for example, 1 kHz is not within the operating audio range of the EUT.
Levels can be measured acoustically or electrically. However, for a given port, both the reference and
demodulated levels shall be measured in the same way.
It is permitted to assess an acoustic port by electrical measurement at the input to the relevant electro-
acoustic transducer. It is also permitted to assess an electrical port by acoustic measurement using a
known electro-acoustic transducer.
NOTE Examples of acoustic instrumentation, including microphones and pre-amplifiers are given in
IEC 61672-1, class 1. Information on sound calibrators (used to establish the acoustic reference levels) are given
in IEC 60942, class 1.

In order to simplify the measurement of the interference, it is preferable that no wanted audio signal is
sent to the EUT during the test. However, Clause G.5 gives guidance when this is not practical.

G.3.2 Ports to be tested


Some devices have more than one port which needs to be tested to ensure that the applied disturbance
does not interfere with normal operation. Table G.1 provides the test requirements for some
examples of MME.

G.4 Reference level


A reference level as defined in Table G.2 shall be established at the port under test. Typically this is
achieved by applying a suitable audio sine wave input to the EUT.
The chosen level and the rationale for choosing it shall be stated in the test report.

be established by applying -30 dBm on the wired network port.

52 
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

G.5 Mode of operation


G.5.1 General
The EUT shall be configured in a manner typical of normal use and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
For devices supporting telephony, active communication shall be maintained or simulated
during the test.
If the EUT requires any audio or other signal(s) to be applied to exercise it or put it into a particular
operating state during the test, this shall be done in a way that does not interfere with the measurements
being performed. For example, a pilot signal at a frequency different from the modulation frequency of
the applied disturbance could be used to exercise the audio path, as well as for monitoring purposes.

G.5.2 Gain setting


Where the audio gain of the EUT can be adjusted by the user, it shall be adjusted so that an audio input
level typical of normal use causes an audio output at the reference level. This audio input level and gain
setting shall be recorded in the test report.

G.5.3 Audio frequency-response adjustments


Where audio frequency-response can be adjusted by the user, the widest, flattest response consistent
with normal use shall be selected. This frequency response setting shall be recorded in the test report

G.5.4 Non-linear processing


The configuration of the EUT should be such that any non-linearities in the system are disabled (for
example AGC circuitry, signal cancelling).
If the EUT uses non-linear circuitry which cannot be disabled, the following methods can be used to
improve the repeatability of the measurement:
• a separate pilot tone, at a frequency other than the modulation frequency of the disturbance, can be
used to set an AGC and/or echo cancelling system into a defined state;
• the relative timing between the application of the interference signal and the measured response
of the EUT at each frequency may be ascertained and adjusted as necessary to ensure minimal non-
linear effect;
• reduce the levels in intentional feedback circuitry for tone cancellation circuitry and AGC;
• improve the acoustic isolation of a microphone which is open to a wired network line.

G.6 Method of measurement


G.6.1 General
The performance of the EUT shall be evaluated by measuring the level of the demodulated audio relative
to the selected reference level.
For devices supporting the telephony function, direct (absolute) measurement of the level of
demodulated audio is permitted, providing there is lossless coupling to the wireline or the earpiece.
Any losses within the measurement systems (for example the plastic tubing shown in Figure G.5) shall
be taken into account.
For other devices, the levels of both the demodulated audio and a reference output from the EUT shall
be measured so as to obtain a relative measurement.

  53
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

The noise floor of the measurement system or ambient sounds shall not influence results.
The level of the demodulated audio signal shall be measured via a bandpass filter centred on the
modulation frequency of the applied disturbance (typically 1  kHz). The 3  dB bandwidth of the filter
(typically 100 Hz) should be selected with regard to the noise floor of the test system and the rejection
of the harmonics of the disturbance modulating frequency. See Figure G.1 to Figure G.7 for examples of
the audio measurement setups.

G.6.2 Electrical measurements


For electrical measurements use one of the following:
• a direct connection to the port under test, terminated with the manufacturer’s
recommended impedance,
• a high impedance connection in parallel with the input to a loudspeaker, headphone or other electro-
acoustic transducer,
• a balun with a power feeding circuit (see Figure G.7), a simulator or other emulation methods may
be used when measuring the analogue wired network ports.
The basic measurement setup is defined in Figure G.1.

G.6.3 Acoustic measurements


Attention should be given to the acoustic characteristics of the measurement environment. To reduce
the effect of reflections, acoustic absorption material may be necessary in the space around the
transducer under test, such as the loudspeaker or the on-ear devices and the measuring microphone.
The manufacturer shall select a measurement test distance taking into account factors including but
not limited to: EUT characteristics, reference level, ambient noise, and pass/fail criteria.
The ambient acoustic noise shall be at a sufficiently low level to avoid affecting the measurement result.
For on-ear measurements, the measurement transducer shall be coupled closely to the EUT electro-
acoustic transducer limiting any loss of the demodulated signal by either:
• placing the transducer as close as possible to the earpiece; or,
• closely coupling a plastic or similar tube to the acoustic output to a remote mounted microphone. In
this case, the appropriate correction factor due to loss in the tube shall be applied.
The method using a remotely mounted microphone should be used during radiated immunity
measurements. When the measurement transducer is placed within the applied field, it may be
impacted by the applied disturbance and any shielding used to isolate the microphone may distort the
applied field. Where this method is used, the impact of any shielding and any direct demodulation by
the microphone shall be documented in the test report.
See Figure G.3 to Figure G.7 for examples of test setups.

G.6.4 Processes (not applicable to direct measurements)

G.6.4.1 Acoustic measurements

This method establishes an acoustic reference level using an SPL meter and microphone. During the
test, the demodulated audio levels are measured, the interference ratio is then established and the
results are compared to the interference ratio limits given in Clause G.7.
a) Configure the measuring transducer to measure the level of acoustic output from the port under
test, for example see Figure G.3.

54 
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

b) Configure the EUT in accordance with Clause G.5.


c) Apply an appropriate input signal to the EUT so that a sine wave (tone) at the frequency that will
be used to modulate the applied disturbance (typically 1 kHz) is generated from the port under
test at a level equal to the acoustic reference level. See Clause G.4. The setup of the EUT may need
additional adjustment in accordance with Clause G.5.
d) Record the resulting dB (SPL) level (or other appropriate dB unit) as the value of L0.
e) Change the input to the EUT so that the port under test is silent, or represents silence. This change
shall not alter the terminating impedance at the EUT’s input.
f) Apply the RF disturbance to the applicable port of the EUT and record the resulting demodulated
audio level in dB (SPL) (or other dB unit used in step d)) as the value of L1.
g) Ensure that non-linear processing does not impact the measurements, see G.5.4.
h) Calculate the acoustic interference ratio using the following formula:

i) Compare the acoustic interference ratio with the relevant limit defined in Clause G.7.
Repeat steps f) to i) for all required disturbance frequencies.
Equivalent procedures may be used provided they are described fully in the test report.

G.6.4.2 Electrical measurement

This method establishes an electrical reference level using appropriate voltage measuring equipment.
During the test, the demodulated audio levels are measured, the interference ratio is then calculated
and the results are compared to the interference ratio limits given in Clause G.7.
a) Connect the voltage measuring equipment to the port under test, for example see Figure G.1.
b) Configure the EUT in accordance with Clause G.5.
c) Apply an appropriate input to the EUT so that a sine wave (tone) at the frequency that will be used
to modulate the applied disturbance (typically 1 kHz) is generated from the port under test at a
level equal to the electrical reference level, see Clause G.4. The setup of the EUT may need additional
adjustment in accordance with Clause G.5.
d) Record the resulting level with units in dB(V) (or other appropriate dB unit) as the value of L0.
e) Change the input to the EUT so that the port under test is silent, or represents silence. This change
shall not alter the terminating impedance at the EUT’s input.
f) Apply the RF disturbance to the applicable port of the EUT and record the resulting demodulated
audio level in dB(V) (or other appropriate dB unit used in step d) above) as the value of L1.
g) Ensure that non-linear processing does not impact the measurements. See G.5.4.
h) Calculate the electrical interference ratio using the following formula:

i) Compare the electrical interference ratio with the relevant limit defined in Clause G.7.
Repeat steps f) to i) for all required disturbance frequencies.
Equivalent procedures may be used provided they are described fully in the test report.

G.7.1.1 General

During the test the audio output function shall be maintained and the requirements of G.7.1.2 or G.7.1.3
shall be met.

G.7.1.2 Devices supporting telephony functions

For devices that support telephony functions the limits of Table G.3 shall apply. With respect to Table G.3,
• the interference ratio (electrical or acoustic) shall meet the limits in column 3; or,
• the acoustic level of the demodulated audio shall be less than the limits in column 4; or,
• the digitally coded level of demodulated audio shall be less than limits in column 5; or,
• the analogue level of the demodulated audio shall be less than the limits in column 6.

a At the step in the frequency range, the lower limit shall be applied.
The equivalent direct measurement values are presented to show the equivalency of the interference ratio in comparison
to a direct measured value. These values may be used if the direct measurement method of the test is used.
The values within this table are aligned with CISPR 24, noting that the test levels are different between this document and
CISPR 24.
For terminals connected to digital wired network ports (such as Ethernet, ISDN), measurements of the demodulated 1 kHz
may be performed on a remote AE, ideally of the same design.

NOTE The amplitude demodulation disturbances will arise, almost invariably, from semi-conductor
junctions behaving as inadvertent square law detectors. This means that for a 10 dB increase in the applied test
level, for example, from 1 V to 3 V, the demodulated line noise will increase by 20 dB. This 20 dB offset was used
to derive the values in Table G.3.

G.7.1.3 For all other devices

The measured acoustic interference ratio and/or the measured electrical interference ratio during the
test shall be –20 dB or better.

Annex I
(informative)

Immunity to specific radio technologies operating at frequencies


of 800 MHz and above

Wireless communication devices are considered to be the most significant sources of interference for
MME in the range 800 MHz to 5 GHz. Consequently testing is only required at relevant spot frequencies.
Immunity is assumed to be ensured for a whole band of any wireless technology, or even for a
neighbouring band, when testing at one frequency only within that band.
The expected field strengths in V/m radiated by the sources considered above at distances of 3 m, 1,5 m
and 1 m were calculated using the formula:

where
Erms is the field strength (V/m);
k = 7 (a constant for free-space propagation in the far field);
P is the radiated power (W);
R is the distance from the source (m).

Also for distances at 0,5 m and 0,2 m using the formula:

where

Erms is the field strength (V/m);

P is the radiated power (W);

R is the distance from the source (m);

G is the gain, G = 1,5 at 800 MHz and 900 MHz and G = 3 at 1,8 GHz to 5,0 GHz.
The above ‘calculated’ field strength corresponds to the rms value of field strength of the RF test signal
that is subsequently 80 % AM modulated by a 1 kHz sine wave. The test levels specified in the basic
standards are for unmodulated signals. The values given in Table I.1 are based upon the formulas given
above and corrected to align with IEC 61000-4-3:2006/AMD1:2007/AMD2:2010 as presented in Table 1.
Most GSM terminals have a nominal maximum ERP of 2 W. The ERP of GSM terminals is often lower
than the maximum, except in areas where the terminal is far away from the base station. However a
worst case value of 2 W has been used in Table I.1.
The test at 1,8  GHz is considered sufficient to also cover the 2,1  GHz frequency band and the test at
2,6 GHz sufficient to cover the 2,4 GHz to 2,6 GHz band.
Regarding the 2,6 GHz band, there are new technologies (for example, WiMAX) enabling > 1 W transmit
power and therefore this band has been chosen for test frequency instead of the 2,4 GHz band.

Annex J
(informative)

Examples of how to apply this document

J.1 Purpose
This document takes a different approach to immunity testing from that used in previous EMC
standards, and so initially the document may appear complex. Therefore, Annex J has been developed
to provide additional guidance on how to apply the requirements to various EUTs.
Specifically Annex J details a strategy based around the development of a test plan. Particular details
are given in Clause J.2 and examples of test plans for different types of EUT are given in Clause J.3.

J.2 Developing the test plan


A test plan should be based on the following elements:
• a description of the EUT and what it does,
• available ports (see 3.1.25 and Clause 4),
• relevant tests from Table 1 to Table 4 (based upon the ports),
• EUT functions (defined in 3.1.17 and Clause 4),
• mode of operation (see appropriate annex and 3.1.23),
• performance criteria (see appropriate annex and Clause 8).
A pictorial example of possible functions is presented in Figure J.1. Only the primary functions of the
EUT (as defined in 3.1.28) need to be exercised and assessed.

CISPR 35:2016

Figure J.1 — Examples of different types of functions

J.3 Specific examples


J.3.1 General
Specific examples are defined in J.3.2 to J.3.5.
NOTE The primary function column in Table J.2, Table J.4 and Table J.6 defines three conditions: the function
exists and is primary; the function exists and is not primary; the function does not exist. These are denoted as
Yes, No, and n/a respectively.

J.3.2 Example 1: A multifunction printer


This multifunction tabletop printer has an AC power port, a fax modem port (a wired network port),
and a serial (analogue/digital data) port defined to only operate on cables up to 2 m in length. A small
audio speaker indicates facsimile dial status. The EUT also includes a flat bed scanner and a small
text display.
The EUT is treated as tabletop equipment during the tests. The phone line will be connected to
a simulator that allows it to send and receive facsimiles. The serial data port will be connected to a
representative piece of AE.
For further details about the test requirements and an analysis of the functions see Table J.1 and Table J.2.

The EUT has four primary functions, highlighted in Table J.2. Only three tests (defined in table
clauses J.2.2, J.2.3 and J.2.6) may need to be performed.

J.3.3 Example 2: Flat panel television


The EUT is a flat panel television broadcast receiver that has a 75  Ω coaxial input to its RF tuner
(broadcast receiver tuner port), an AC mains power port, several analogue/digital data ports (VGA-
style video input compatible with computers, base band audio and video input jacks, output jacks for
surround sound speakers), internal stereo speakers, Ethernet interface for internet connection and an
infrared remote control. It is designed to stand on an elevated surface such as a table or cabinet, or be
attached to a wall.
The EUT shall be treated as tabletop equipment during the tests, with surround sound speakers
attached. The VGA video port, and base band video input ports will each be connected to AE (signal
generators and computers, for example) that send colour bars with a moving picture element, as
described in Annex D. The base band audio input port would be connected to a tone generator. The RF
input port would be connected to an RF modulator that sends the colour bars with a moving picture
element and a 1 kHz tone over a broadcast channel.
A camera would typically be used to monitor the display during immunity testing. Suitable audio
monitoring and measurement equipment as defined in Annex G would also be required.
For further details about the test requirements and an analysis of the functions see Table J.3 and Table J.4.

during testing of one of the other functions.

J.3.4 Example 3: Notebook computer


The EUT is a basic notebook computer, with integrated keyboard, mouse and screen. The EUT is powered
by a separate AC to DC converter. Various data, audio and video input/output ports are available, with

The EUT has five primary functions, highlighted in Table J.6. Only three tests may need to be performed
because the function highlighted in table clauses J.6.6, J.6.10 and J.6.11 could be tested within one
configuration.

J.3.5 Example 4: Small key telephone systems or PABXs


A small key telephone system or PABX generally consists of a main network switching and control unit
(referred to as “main unit” hereafter) and a number of terminals that are attached to the main unit via
extension cabling or an internal telecommunications network (ITN) (see Figure J.2).
The main switch unit will also have one or a number of connections to an external telecommunications
network (ETN), for example PSTN, ISDN, xDSL or a combination of these.
The ITN in many cases may be quite long and hence provide a significant antenna to external
disturbances requiring the need to ensure that all types of conducted disturbances are applied to
internal telecommunication network ports of the main unit and the terminals.
This may require reversing and repositioning any coupling/decoupling network in order to meet the
requirements of the basic standards for separation between the EUT and the coupling network.

  71
BS EN 55035:2017
CISPR 35:2016

Figure J.2 — Example of a typical small key telephone system or PABX

Ideally the main unit [EUT-M] and the terminals [EUT-Sx] should be tested as separate EUTs, with the
other part acting as the AE. The EUT should be arranged in accordance with the requirements of the
basic standards.
In tests where continuous RF disturbances are applied to any port of the main unit, an attached
terminal should be used for monitoring any 1 kHz signal demodulated by the main unit, in accordance
with table clause G.2.3. The attached terminal will ensure any demodulated signal sent to the internal
network port is measured at the same time. However, it will still be necessary to measure the level of
demodulated signal sent out via any external network ports in accordance with table clause G.2.3.
For continuous RF electromagnetic field disturbance tests applied to the main unit only, it is
recommended that the terminal used for monitoring any demodulated 1 kHz signal is placed outside of
the test environment.
When the test phenomenon is applied to an external network port, it is important to ensure that a call
path is established from the monitoring terminal via the main unit to the external network port to
which the test phenomenon is being applied.
Table J.7 provides examples of test configurations and performance assessment methods which may be
used for continuous conducted and radiated RF disturbance tests. The requirements for other tests are
given in Annex H.

a Where the mode of operation is a call to an external network connection (ETN), the demodulated noise sent into this
external line is monitored in accordance with table clause G.1.4. Where the mode of operation is an internal call path to
another terminal (such as EUT-S2, for example) the demodulated noise is monitored at EUT-S2 in accordance with table
clause G.1.2 or G.1.3.
b Conducted common mode disturbance injected on to external network port towards the EUT-M may be demodulated
into differential mode signal within the external network circuit, and may be sent not only to EUT-S1 but also AE via circuits
within the EUT-M. It is, therefore, necessary to measure and check the acoustic sound pressure level of the EUT-S1 and AE.
c Conducted common mode disturbance injected into an internal network port towards the EUT-M may be demodulated
into a differential mode signal within the internal network circuits and may be sent not only to AE but also EUT-S1, EUT-S2
via circuits within the EUT-M. It is, therefore, necessary to measure and check the sound pressure level of EUT-S1, EUT-S2
and AE.
