Overview
SIST EN 55032:2015/oprAB:2025, developed by CENELEC (CLC/TC 210), specifies the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) emission requirements for multimedia equipment. This draft amendment brings EN 55032:2015 up to date to address requirements for citation in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU), ensuring it remains harmonized with essential EU directives, particularly the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. The document consolidates and updates references, measurement methods, and compliance provisions relevant to equipment including computers, audio-video devices, broadcasting and ICT apparatus.
SIST EN 55032:2015/oprAB:2025 aims to:
- Clarify terminology and improve consistency.
- Update references to supporting standards and regulatory documents.
- Enhance test procedures for a wide range of multimedia equipment in varied configurations and environments.
- Provide clear alignment with legal requirements for EMC compliance in the European economic area.
Key Topics
Scope and Applicability
- Defines coverage of emission requirements for multimedia equipment, including residential and commercial environments.
- Specifies Class A (industrial/commercial) and Class B (residential) limits, clarifying their use and intent.
Normative References
- Updates mandatory references to key ETSI, CISPR, IEC, and ISO/IEC standards.
- Ensures all referenced documents align with the latest editions required for legal and technical compliance.
Classification & Requirements
- Details classification of equipment and guidance for testing modular and host multimedia systems.
- Outlines requirements for arranging equipment, auxiliary devices, and cabling during emissions measurements.
Measurement and Reporting Procedures
- Specifies methods for radiated and conducted emissions testing as per CISPR 16-series.
- Clarifies arrangements for special cases (e.g., wall-mounted, handheld, or rack-mounted devices).
- Covers procedures for audio, video, data ports, and cabling.
Documentation & Compliance
- Updates requirements for test reporting, referencing ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for laboratory competence.
- Stipulates information required in test reports to demonstrate compliance and facilitate market surveillance.
Legal Harmonization
- Revises and replaces annexes to ensure alignment with EU legislation and OJEU citation requirements.
Applications
SIST EN 55032:2015/oprAB:2025 is crucial for:
- Manufacturers of computers, audio-visual products, teleconferencing systems, and other ICT/broadcasting devices to achieve and demonstrate legal EMC conformity for the EU market.
- Testing laboratories assessing multimedia equipment for electromagnetic emission compliance, applying the standardized test setups and updated references.
- Regulatory authorities and conformity assessment bodies overseeing EMC compliance for CE marking and market access.
- Product designers and engineers incorporating EMC best practices during development, especially for modular and configurable systems in residential and commercial environments.
The standard's detailed procedures and documentation guidelines ensure repeatable and defendable EMC testing outcomes, facilitating smoother CE marking and supporting global market access.
Related Standards
- CISPR 16 series - Core standards for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods.
- IEC 61000-4-6:2023 - EMC immunity testing for conducted disturbances.

110 “If a single port satisfies the definition of more than one of the types of port defined in this document, it is subject
111 to the requirements for each of the port types that it satisfies. Where a port can support both screened and
112 unscreened cables, the port shall be evaluated with both cable types.”
113 6 Modification to subclause 6.2, “Host systems and modular EUT”
114 Replace the second, third and fourth paragraphs with the following:
115 “Self-contained modules intended for use with a host shall be assessed in at least one representative host
116 system. The modules may be internal, mounted, plug-in or external as illustrated in Figure 2. The port(s) of any
117 module being assessed shall be terminated in accordance with Annex D. The functions of the host device that
118 are specific to the module being assessed shall be exercised during the measurements. The host and modules
119 used during measurements shall be listed in the test report.
120 Modules whose functionality and connectivity allow them to be either, plug-in, internal, mounted and/or external
121 shall be assessed in each of the applicable configurations to find the worst case to be measured.
122 When the EUT is a host, it shall be configured with modules so that the resulting system is representative of
123 normal use.”
124 7 Modification to subclause 6.3, “Measurement procedure”
125 Replace the content of the subclause with the following:
126 “The arrangement for formal measurement shall be representative of a typical arrangement of the EUT, local
127 AE and associated cabling.
128 The measurement is performed with the EUT and/or AE arranged either as floor-standing equipment, table-top
129 equipment or combinations thereof as defined in D.1.1 and illustrated in Figures D.2 to D.12.
130 Measurements shall be performed as follows:
131 — using the relevant measurement methods and procedures given in Table A.1, Table A.8 and Annex C, and
132 the EUT exercised in accordance with Annex B;
133 — with the EUT, local AE and associated cabling configured and arranged, and with ports loaded as shown
134 in 6.2 and Annex D;
135 — in accordance with supporting information and clarifications defined elsewhere within this document.
EN 55032:2015/prAB:2025 (E)
136 For some products it is not always obvious how the EUT and/or AE should be arranged. This can be due to
137 variations in the configurations of the EUT in practice, physical or practical limitations. Examples of these
138 arrangements include:
139 — wall, ceiling or rack mounted,
140 — hand-held,
141 — body worn.
142 For example, a video projector can be positioned in various ways with respect to walls, ceiling or the floor of a
143 room. D.1.1 defines the additional information needed to configure the EUT to simulate these types of
144 arrangements.
145 Prescan measurements may be performed in which the arrangement of the EUT, the arrangement of the local
146 AE and the placement of cables is varied within the range of typical and normal placement to attempt to
147 determine the cable arrangement giving the maximum emission level, as described in Annex D.”
148 8 Modification to Clause 7, “Equipment documentation”
149 Replace the content of the clause with the following:
150 “This clause is not used in the European version of this document”.
151 9 Modification to Clause 8, “Applicability”

158 In the last set of bullet points, in the second bullet, delete
159 “No reporting is required if Ucispr is not defined for the relevant measurement type”.
160 11 Modifications to Clause 10, “Compliance with this publication”
161 Change the title to “Compliance with this document”.
162 Replace the first and second paragraphs with:
163 “Compliance with this document requires that the EUT satisfies either the Class A or Class B requirements
164 defined in Annex A, as appropriate.
165 Where this document gives options for measurement methods they are all equivalent and compliance may be
166 shown using any of those measurement methods, together with the specified limits and any relevant restrictions.
167 NOTE 1 CISPR TR 16-4-5:2006+AMD1:2014+AMD2:2021 contains a methodology to verify equivalence between
168 alternative measurement methods and limits. The analysis in CISPR 16-4-5 makes use of inter-laboratory (round robin)
169 measurement, theoretical calculations, comparisons with other established limits and methods etc.
170 NOTE 2 In any situation involving re-measurement of the equipment, reproducibility of results is best achieved if the
171 original measurement method is used.
172 In the fifth paragraph replace the words “this publication” with “this document”.
EN 55032:2015/prAB:2025 (E)
173 Replace the last paragraph with:

177 Replace the content with:
178 “Instrumentation uncertainty of a measurement shall be calculated as specified in Clauses 5, 7 and 8 of
179 CISPR 16-4-2:2011 and reported as described in Clause 9. However, the disturbance limits specified in this
180 document shall not be modified by the calculated measurement uncertainty when determining compliance with
181 this document.”

183 In paragraph 1 replace the words “this publication” with “this document”.
184 In paragraph 5 replace the words “this publication” with “this document”.
