SIST EN 55012:2008/A1:2010
(Amendment)Vehicles, boats and internal combustion engines - Radio disturbance characteristics - Limits and methods of measurement for the protection of off-board receivers
Vehicles, boats and internal combustion engines - Radio disturbance characteristics - Limits and methods of measurement for the protection of off-board receivers
The limits in this International Standard are designed to provide protection for broadcast receivers in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 1 000 MHz when used in the residential environment. Compliance with this standard may not provide adequate protection for new types of radio transmissions or receivers used in the residential environment nearer than 10 m to the vehicle, boat or device. This standard applies to the emission of electromagnetic energy which may cause interference to radio reception and which is emitted from a) vehicles propelled by an internal combustion engine, electrical means or both (see 3.1); b) boats propelled by an internal combustion engine, electrical means or both (see 3.2). Boats are to be tested in the same manner as vehicles except where they have unique characteristics as explicitly stated in this standard; c) devices equipped with internal combustion engines (see 3.3). See Annex G for a flow chart to help determine the applicability of CISPR 12. This standard does not apply to aircraft, traction systems (railway, tramway and electric trolley bus), or to incomplete vehicles. In the case of a dual-mode trolley bus (e.g. propelled by power from either a.c./d.c. mains or an internal combustion engine), the internal combustion propulsion system must be included, but the a.c./d.c. mains portion of the vehicle propulsion system is excluded from this standard. NOTE 2 Protection of receivers used on board the same vehicle as the disturbance source(s) are covered by CISPR 25. The measurement of electromagnetic disturbances while the vehicle is connected to power mains for charging is not covered in this standard. The user is referred to appropriate IEC and CISPR standards which define measurement techniques and limits for this condition. Annex H lists work being considered for future revisions.

Vozila, plovila in naprave, ki jih poganjajo motorji z notranjim zgorevanjem - Karakteristike občutljivosti za radijske motnje - Mejne vrednosti in merilne metode za zaščito sprejemnikov zunaj vozila, plovila ali naprave - Dodatek A1
Mejne vrednosti v tem mednarodnem standardu so zasnovane za zagotavljanje zaščite sprejemnikov radiodifuzije v frekvenčnem razponu od 30 MHz do 1000 MHz pri uporabi v bivalnih okoljih. Skladnost s tem standardom morda ne bo zagotovila primerne zaščite za nove tipe radijskega oddajanja in sprejemanja, ki se uporabljajo v bivalnih okoljih, ki so bližje vozilu, plovilu ali napravi od 10 m. Ta standard velja za oddajanje elektromagnetne energije, ki lahko povzroči interferenco pri radijskem sprejemu in ki se oddaja iz a) vozil, ki jih poganjajo motorji z notranjim izgorevanjem, električna sredstva ali oboje (glej točko 3.1.); plovila, ki jih poganjajo motorji z notranjim izgorevanjem, električna sredstva ali oboje (glej točko 3.2). Plovila je potrebno preskusiti na isti način kot vozila, razen kadar imajo edinstvene značilnosti, kot je izrecno navedeno v tem standardu; c) naprave, opremljene z motorjem z notranjim izgorevanjem (glej točko 3.3). Glej Dodatek G za shematski prikaz, ki pomaga pri ugotavljanju uporabnosti CISPR 12. Ta standard ne velja za zračna plovila, sisteme vleke (železnica, tramvaj in električni trolejbus) ali za nepopolna vozila. V primeru trolejbusa z dvema načinoma delovanja (npr. ki ga poganja energija bodisi iz izmenične ali enosmerne napeljave ali motor z notranjim izgorevanjem), mora biti vključen sistem notranjega izgorevanja za pogon, vendar je del pogonskega sistema vozila, ki ga predstavljajo izmenične ali enosmerne napeljave, izključen iz tega standarda. OPOMBA 2: Zaščita sprejemnikov, uporabljena v istem vozilu kot vir motenj, je zajeta v CISPR 25. Merjenje elektromagnetnih motenj, medtem ko je vozilo povezano z električnimi napeljavami za napajanje, ni zajeto v tem standardu. Uporabnik naj upošteva primerne IEC in CISPR standarde, ki opredeljujejo tehnike merjenja in omejitve tega pogoja. Dodatek H navaja delo, ki se bo upoštevalo v prihodnjih revizijah.

Overview
SIST EN 55012:2008/A1:2010 is the Slovenian adoption of the European standard EN 55012:2007/A1:2009, which is technically aligned with CISPR 12:2007/A1:2009. This standard specifies the radio disturbance characteristics, limits, and testing methods for vehicles, boats, and devices powered by internal combustion engines or electric means. Its primary goal is to protect off-board broadcast radio receivers operating in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 1,000 MHz, particularly in residential environments.
The standard addresses electromagnetic energy emissions that could cause interference with radio reception, focusing on vehicles, boats, and specific engine-driven devices. It outlines which equipment falls under its scope and provides guidance for testing and compliance to mitigate risks of radio disturbances.
Key Topics
- Scope of Application
- Applies to vehicles propelled by internal combustion engines, electric means, or both.
- Covers boats with similar propulsion systems, with emphasis on specific characteristics.
- Includes devices powered by internal combustion engines or traction batteries not primarily intended to carry persons or goods.
- Limits and Measurement Methods
- Sets maximum allowable electromagnetic emissions in the 30 MHz to 1,000 MHz band.
- Establishes standardized testing environments and procedures to ensure consistent measurement.
- Flowchart in Annex G helps determine if an item falls under this standard or another CISPR standard.
- Exclusions
- Does not apply to aircraft, railway systems, or incomplete vehicles.
- Excludes the mains-powered portion of dual-mode trolley buses.
- Charging mode emissions and on-board receiver protection are covered by separate IEC and CISPR standards.
Applications
The practical applications of SIST EN 55012:2008/A1:2010 are wide-ranging and critical for manufacturers, importers, and regulators:
- Automotive Industry
- Ensures cars, trucks, buses, and agricultural machinery comply with electromagnetic emission limits.
- Assures that new vehicle models do not interfere with residential radio services.
- Marine Applications
- Governs emission restrictions for boats (under 15 meters), contributing to uninterrupted radio service for nearby land-based receivers.
- Engine-Driven Equipment
- Covers emission testing and limits for non-transport devices such as chainsaws, irrigation pumps, air compressors, and other engine-powered machines.
- Regulatory Compliance and Market Access
- Demonstrates compliance with European (EN) and international (CISPR) EMC regulations, supporting product approvals and market entry.
- Residential Protection
- Helps safeguard against radio interference in residential areas, maintaining the quality of broadcast reception.
