This part of IEC 61000 relates to broadband radiated disturbances generated by, for example, communication devices or services, transmitters or industrial electromagnetic sources or any other devices capable of generating such a signal.

The object of this document is to establish a common reference for evaluating the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to broadband radiated electromagnetic fields.

This document specifies testing in the frequency ranges above 80 MHz, limited only by the capabilities of commercially available test instrumentation.
