(Main)Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods -- Part 2-4: Methods of measurement of disturbances and immunity - Immunity measurements
General Information
- Abstract
This part of CISPR 16 is designated a basic standard, which specifies the methods of measurement of immunity to EMC phenomena in the frequency range 9 kHz to 18 GHz. CISPR 16-2 has been reorganised into 4 parts, to accommodate growth and easier maintenance. This first edition of CISPR 16-2-4, together with CISPR 16-2-1, CISPR 16-2-2 and CISPR 16-2-3, cancels and replaces the second edition of CISPR 16-2, published in 2003. It contains the relevant clauses of CISPR 16-2 without technical changes.

Overview
EN 55016-2-4:2004 (CISPR 16-2-4) is a basic standard that specifies methods for measuring immunity to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) phenomena in the frequency range 9 kHz to 18 GHz. Published as part of the reorganization of CISPR 16 into four parts, this document preserves the relevant clauses of the earlier CISPR 16-2 edition without technical changes. It defines measurement methods and requirements for immunity measurements and for the measuring apparatus used to assess radio disturbance and immunity.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and designation: Identifies the standard as a foundational reference for immunity measurement techniques across a wide radio frequency band (9 kHz–18 GHz).
- Measurement methods: Defines standardized approaches and procedures used to evaluate a device’s immunity to EMC phenomena (methodology-focused rather than equipment-specific performance values).
- Measuring apparatus: Covers the characteristics and use of equipment required to perform immunity tests (antennas, coupling networks, sensors and related measuring apparatus), ensuring repeatable results.
- Frequency coverage: Emphasizes test methods appropriate over the broad RF spectrum from low-frequency (9 kHz) through microwave bands up to 18 GHz.
- Harmonization: As a CISPR basic standard, it supports consistent immunity testing across national and regional laboratories and helps align test methods with other parts of CISPR 16.
Practical applications
EN 55016-2-4 is used by:
- EMC test laboratories to establish and validate immunity test setups and procedures for compliance testing.
- Product manufacturers and design engineers to plan immunity testing during product development, verify robustness to RF disturbances, and guide EMC mitigation efforts.
- Certification and compliance bodies that rely on harmonized measurement methods when assessing conformance to EMC requirements.
- R&D teams investigating susceptibility of electronic and electrical equipment across the 9 kHz–18 GHz range.
Typical uses include immunity assessment of consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment and other products where radio-frequency susceptibility is critical.
Related standards
- CISPR 16-2-1, CISPR 16-2-2 and CISPR 16-2-3 - companion parts of the reorganized CISPR 16 series covering related measurement apparatus and methods.
- Other CISPR/EN EMC standards and regional EMC directives, which reference CISPR 16 series measurement methods for regulatory compliance.
