b The RMS-average limits can be applied as an alternative to quasi-peak limits.
c It is allowed to measure at 10 m distance using 3 m limits minus 10 dB.
d The maximum size of the EUT shall be within the test volume defined during NSA test site validation.
e The limit for other disturbances applies also for fundamental and harmonics disturbances from DAB receiver operating in
band III.
Z1 For narrowband disturbances, 40 dB(µV/m) applies. For this application, a narrowband disturbance is identified if the difference
between peak and RMS-average value is ≤ 3 dB. All other signals are considered as broadband disturbances. For these
signals, a peak limit of 54 dB(µV/m) applies in addition to the RMS-average limit of 34 dB(µV/m).

NOTE For car radio receivers and for LW, MW, and SW AM broadcast receivers, no radiation limits apply.

Replace the note below Table 5 by the following:

NOTE No limits for radiated disturbances are defined in the frequency range 150 kHz to 30 MHz. Guidance to
measure the magnetic field component can be found in IEC PAS 62825.

1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

International Standard CISPR 13 has been prepared by CISPR subcommittee I:

Electromagnetic compatibility of information technology equipment, multimedia equipment and
receivers.

This fifth edition of CISPR 13 cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2001, its
Amendment 1 (2003) and Amendment 2 (2006).This edition constitutes the introduction of the
RMS-average detector as an alternative to quasi-peak and average detector for conducted and
radiated emission measurements.

The document CISPR/I/296/FDIS, circulated to the National Committees as Amendment 3, led

to the publication of the new edition.

INTRODUCTION

The CISPR recommends that the limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance
characteristics of sound and television receivers contained in the latest edition of CISPR 13,
including amendments, be used, without regional or national addenda or modifications. The
requirements are considered sufficient to reach adequate emission levels to protect radio
broadcast and telecommunication services and to allow other apparatus to operate as intended
at a reasonable distance.

SOUND AND TELEVISION BROADCAST RECEIVERS

AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT –
RADIO DISTURBANCE CHARACTERISTICS –
LIMITS AND METHODS OF MEASUREMENT

1 Scope and object

This International Standard applies to the generation of electromagnetic energy from sound
and television receivers for the reception of broadcast and similar transmissions and from
associated equipment. The frequency range covered extends from 9 kHz to 400 GHz.
This is a free 23 page sample. Access the full version online.

No measurements need be performed at frequencies where no limits are specified.

Receiving systems for collective reception, in particular:

– cable distribution head ends (Community Antenna Television, CATV);

– community reception systems (Master Antenna Television, MATV)

are covered by IEC 60728-2.

Broadcast receivers for digital signals are covered by Annex A and Annex B.

Information technology equipment (ITE) is excluded, even if intended to be connected to a

television broadcast receiver.

The telecommunication port of broadcast receivers, intended to be connected to a tele-

communication network, is covered by CISPR 22.

In addition, measurements at the telecommunication port are performed with the broadcast
reception functions, which are independent from the telecommunication function, disabled
during the measurement.

PC tuner cards are measured according to the relevant clauses of this standard.

This standard describes the methods of measurement applicable to sound and television
receivers or associated equipment and specifies limits for the control of disturbance from such
equipment.

For multifunction equipment which is subjected simultaneously to different clauses of this

standard and/or other standards, details are given in 4.1.
