Dear All

The latest version of EN 61000-4-7 includes interharmonics. 

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Part 4-7: Testing and measurement
techniques General guide on harmonics and interharmonics measurements and
instrumentation, for power supply systems and equipment connected thereto

At present European standards such as EN 61000-3-2 do not require the
measurement of interharmonics.

A manufacturer of harmonics measuring equipment has told me that
interharmonics is required for any testing that is being carried out for the
Japanese market, particularly Japan Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, and will be
required in the future in Europe.

Can anyone confirm this?

As I understand it, EN 61000-4-7 will not be listed in the Official Journal.
Therefore, interharmonics would only be required if specified in standards
such as EN 61000-3-2 or EN 61000-3-12. And as far as I am aware, there is no
proposal to include interharmonics in either of these standards. 

Am I correct in these assumptions?

Many thanks
