BS EN IEC 62311:2020

What is BS EN IEC 62311 - Assessment of electronic and electrical equipment about?

BS EN IEC 62311 discusses the assessment of electronic and electrical equipment. BS EN IEC 62311 provides assessment methods and criteria to evaluate equipment against limits on exposure of people related to electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields. The frequency range covered is from 0 Hz to 300 GHz.

Note 1: BS EN IEC 62311 applies to electronic and electrical equipment for which no dedicated product standard or product family standard regarding human exposure to electromagnetic fields applies. BS EN IEC 62311 covers equipment with intentional or non-intentional radiators as well as a combination thereof.

Note 2: BS EN IEC 62311 does not specify limits expressed by means of basic restrictions and/or reference levels. Such limits are subject to the applied assessment scheme, for example by means of regional limits.

Who is BS EN IEC 62311 - Assessment of electronic and electrical equipment for?

BS EN IEC 62311 on assessment of electronic and electrical equipment is useful for:

• Electronic and electrical equipment manufacturers and suppliers
• Quality control laboratories
• Maintenance personnel

Why should you use BS EN IEC 62311 - Assessment of electronic and electrical equipment?

BS EN IEC 62311 provides assessment methods for electronic and electrical equipment related to human exposure restrictions for electromagnetic fields. which ensures electronic and electrical equipment whether safe to use that helps to manufacture equipment by considering the user's requirements and safety.

Assessment testing is the way to identify manufacturing faults of electronic and electrical equipment that is provided by BS EN IEC 62311 to manufacture quality electronic and electrical equipment.

BS EN IEC 62311 provides assessment test methods of electronic and electrical equipment related to human exposure restrictions for electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz) that helps to discover and eliminate problems in the equipment early on and protect users against equipment cause injury.

What is changed since the last update?

BS EN IEC 62311:2020 supersedes BS EN 62311:2008, which is withdrawn.

BS EN IEC 62311:2020 includes some technical changes with respect to BS EN 62311:2008. These include:

• A clear distinction between intentional and unintentional radiators has been introduced
• The exposure to non-uniform fields is considered
• The treatment of uncertainty for the assessment procedures has been improved
• Various summation regimes are described
• The information from meanwhile published basic standards has been used and hence all informative annexes of the previous edition have been removed
