This part of CISPR 14 specifies the requirements that apply to the emission of radiofrequency
disturbances in the frequency range 9 kHz to 400 GHz from appliances, electric
tools and similar apparatus as defined below, whether powered by AC or DC (including a
battery).
Within this standard wherever the term “equipment” is used it includes the more specific terms
“appliance”, “household or similar appliances”, “electric tool”, “toys” and “apparatus”.
This International Standard is applicable to the following equipment:
• household appliances or similar equipment;
• electric tools;
• similar apparatus.
Also included in the scope of this standard are separate parts of the above mentioned
equipment such as motors and switching devices (e.g. power or protective relays); however,
no emission requirements apply to such separate parts, unless otherwise stated in this
standard.
Excluded from the scope of this standard are:
– equipment for which all emission requirements in the radio-frequency range are explicitly
formulated in other CISPR standards;
– equipment intended to be used only on a vehicle, ship or aircraft;
– the effects of electromagnetic phenomena relating to the safety of the equipment.
Multifunction equipment may be required to comply with clauses in this and other standards.
The details are given in 6.5.
The radiated emission requirements in this standard are not intended to be applicable to the
intentional transmissions from a radio transmitter as defined by the ITU, nor to any spurious
emissions related to these intentional transmissions.
