Overview
EN IEC 55014-2:2021/prA1:2026 is an important amendment published by CLC under the IEC framework. This standard focuses on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) immunity requirements for household appliances, electric tools, and similar apparatus. As a product family standard, it specifies updated immunity test procedures and performance criteria to ensure that electrical products used in residential and similar environments can withstand electromagnetic disturbances without significant degradation of function.
EN IEC 55014-2:2021/prA1:2026 supersedes earlier versions, aiming to clarify and harmonize immunity requirements across European and global markets. The amendment supports manufacturers, product developers, and testing laboratories in complying with legislative EMC directives and maintaining product quality and safety.
Key Topics
The amendment introduces or updates several crucial areas, including:
- Clarification of radio functionality: Guidance on testing equipment with integrated or add-on radio modules.
- Consistent terminology: Improved definitions and clearer usage of key EMC terms.
- Updated test references: New references and alignment with the latest versions of core EMC test standards (such as IEC 61000-4-3, -4-6, -4-20, and -4-34).
- Revision of immunity test levels: Ensuring alignment with current basic standards for conducted and radiated immunity.
- Expanded test conditions: Clearer instructions for test set-ups, especially for robotic and battery-powered equipment.
- Simplified performance criteria: Introduction of levels A, B, and C to describe permissible performance during and after test events.
- Test applicability and documentation: Expanded guidance on when and how to conduct specific tests, and recording justifications for omitted tests.
Applications
EN IEC 55014-2:2021/prA1:2026 is relevant for:
- Manufacturers of household appliances: White goods, kitchen devices, personal care products, and more.
- Producers of electric tools and equipment: Drills, saws, blowers, and similar powered devices.
- Designers of apparatus with radio features: Products integrating Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or remote control modules.
- Testing laboratories: Facilities responsible for confirming product compliance with the EMC immunity requirements.
- Regulatory and certification bodies: Organizations overseeing product approvals and market access within the EU and internationally.
Typical scenarios addressed include:
- Ensuring appliances do not malfunction or lose data during exposure to static discharges, fast transients, surges, radio-frequency fields, and voltage dips.
- Providing guidance for products operating above or below 16 A per phase.
- Testing both AC and DC power ports, wired network ports, and radio-functional variants.
- Documenting immunity test methods to facilitate reproducibility and traceability in compliance assessments.
