Nick, the basic immunity standards that you call out below are the same ones called out in both the EN and IEC versions of the EMC household immunity standards CISPR 14-2 and EN 55014-2. CISPR 11 and CISPR 14 (14-1) are emission standards.
Is this the wave of the future? Will safety standards add EMC requirements? Will EMC immunity requirements become necessary in the U.S. through OSHA or other safety agencies? Any other thoughts out there?

Heller/US-Corporate/3M/US cc: emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org Subject: Re: New EMC requirements proposed for IEC60335 I am working from the EN implementation of the published standard (BSEN60335-1:1995, including amendments 8913 (oct 95) 9475 (may 97) and 10168 (jan 99). According to anex NA, which lists the differences between the BS document and the IEC original, CISPR 11 and CISPR 14 were mentioned in the introduction to the IEC standard as "standards dealing with non-safey aspects of household appliances". This reference has been excised from the EN document. I am not qualified to state what existing standard (if any) the proposed new immunity tests are based on or similar to, but the proposed amendment will add the following standards to the list of normative references in the IEC standard: IEC 61000-4-2, IEC 61000-4-3, IEC 61000-4-4, IEC 61000-4-5, IEC 61000-4-6, IEC 61000-4-11.
