DIN EN 55024 EMC Immunity Testing for ICT Devices
The DIN EN 55024 standard is designed to ensure that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) devices operate without interference in their electromagnetic environment. This testing is crucial as it helps in maintaining the reliability, safety, and functionality of electronic equipment used in various sectors such as IT, telecommunications, healthcare, and industrial automation.
EMC Immunity Testing under DIN EN 55024 aims to verify that ICT devices can withstand a range of electromagnetic disturbances without suffering degradation or failure. The standard covers the immunity aspects of emissions from other electronic equipment (electromagnetic interference - EMI) and ensures that the device does not cause unacceptable interference in its environment.
The testing process involves exposing the ICT device to various types of electromagnetic fields, including conducted and radiated disturbances. Conducted disturbances are typically tested using a 100 kHz to 80 MHz frequency range, while radiated disturbances cover frequencies from 80 MHz up to 3 GHz. The goal is to ensure that devices can operate correctly in environments with these levels of interference.
Preparation for testing includes ensuring the ICT device meets specific requirements regarding its design and materials used. This might involve shielding components or using specific types of connectors. Once prepared, the device undergoes a series of tests which may include:
