EN 61326-1 specifies the requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for electrical equipment used for measurement, control, and laboratory use. This standard covers general EMC requirements, including immunity to electromagnetic disturbances and limits for emissions. It applies to equipment intended for professional, industrial-process, and educational use, including associated accessories. The standard ensures that equipment can function correctly without interference from or causing interference to other electrical devices in the same environment. It includes test methods and performance criteria to verify that equipment meets the required EMC levels for various environments, such as industrial, residential, and commercial locations.
