9.Z2 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
8 Requirements for construction and operation
8.Z1 Replace the second paragraph by the following:
Compliance is checked by the tests of 9.Z1.
8.Z2 Add the following new Subclause 8.Z2:
8.Z2 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
RCCBs shall comply with the relevant EMC requirements.

Compliance is checked by the tests of 9.Z2.
9 Tests
Replace the last paragraph by the following new paragraph:
9.21.1.4
The half-wave current I , starting from zero, being steadily increased at an approximate
rate of 1,4 I /30 A per second for RCCBs with I > 0,01 A and 2 I /30 A per second
∆n ∆n ∆n
for RCCBs with I ≤ 0,01 A, the device shall trip before this half-wave current I reaches
∆n 1
a value not exceeding 1,4 I or 2 I respectively.
∆n ∆n
9.Z2 Add the following new Subclause 9.Z2:
9.Z2 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
EMC tests shall be performed according to EN 61543 as follows:
– Tests listed in the following table are covered by this standard and have not to be
repeated:
Table Z4 – Tests to be applied for EMC

Reference to Tables 4 and 5
Electromagnetic phenomena Tests of EN 61008-1
of EN 61543
T 1.3 Voltage amplitude variations 9.9.5 and 9.17
