This standard applies to the radiation characteristics and immunity to electromagnetic disturbances of active and passive equipment for the reception, processing, and distribution of television, sound, and interactive service signals. It is part of IEC 60728 series:
IEC 60728-3 – “Active coaxial wideband distribution equipment”
IEC 60728-4 – “Passive coaxial wideband distribution equipment”
IEC 60728-5 – “Headend equipment”
IEC 60728-6 – “Optical equipment”
It covers the following frequency ranges:
Disturbance voltage injected into the mains
Radiation from active equipment
Immunity of active equipment
Screening effectiveness of passive equipment
9 kHz to 30 MHz
5 MHz to 25 GHz
1 50 kHz to 25 GHz
5 MHz to 3 GHz (25 GHz)
Specifies requirements for maximum allowed radiation, minimum immunity, and minimum screening effectiveness.
Describes test methods for conformance testing.
Coaxial cables for cabled distribution systems do not fall under this standard.
Reference is made to the EN 501 1 7 series.
Standardisation in the field of electromagnetic compatibility for any user terminals (for example tuners, receivers, decoders, multimedia terminals etc.) is covered by the IEC CISPR 1 3 and CISPR 20.
Requirements for the electromagnetic compatibility of receiver leads are laid out in IEC 60966-2-4, IEC 60966-2-5, and IEC 60966-2-6.
