AS NZS CISPR 11-2024 PDF

Full title and description

AS/NZS CISPR 11:2024 — Industrial, scientific and medical equipment — Radio‑frequency disturbance characteristics — Limits and methods of measurement. This document is the Australian/New Zealand adoption (with national modifications) of CISPR 11:2024 (IEC 7th edition) and sets emission limits and measurement procedures for electrical equipment that generates or uses radio‑frequency energy in industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) applications.

Abstract

AS/NZS CISPR 11:2024 specifies limits for radio‑frequency (RF) disturbances and the associated measurement methods for ISM, industrial, scientific and medical electrical equipment and for domestic and similar appliances that generate or locally use RF energy. It covers emissions over audio and RF bands (typically stated as 9 kHz to 400 GHz for product emissions), introduces updated radiated and conducted limits (including radiated limits above 1 GHz for certain equipment and conducted limits on wired network ports), and includes provisions for equipment that incorporates radio transmit/receive functions and for robot applications. The national adoption aligns with CISPR 11:2024 while applying AS/NZS modifications where indicated.

Scope

Applies to industrial, scientific and medical electrical equipment operating in the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz and to domestic and similar appliances designed to generate and/or use locally radio‑frequency energy. The emission requirements in this document cover radio‑frequency disturbances in the frequency range 9 kHz to 400 GHz (with ISM‑specific coverage to 18 GHz for ITU‑defined ISM bands) and exclude intentional transmissions of radio transmitters (except where combination emissions occur). The standard also addresses measurement arrangements and specific considerations for robots and for equipment containing host radio functions.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification of equipment into groups and classes for emission assessment (group 1 / group 2 and class divisions).
• Radiated emission limits, including introduction/clarification of radiated limits above 1 GHz for Group 1 equipment in line with generic emission standards.
• Conducted emission limits, including requirements for wired network ports and other connection points.
• Measurement methods and test site requirements referencing CISPR/IEC measurement practices (CISPR 16 family and related methods).
• Requirements and guidance for equipment that incorporates radio transmit/receive functions (host equipment with radio functionality) and how to treat combination emissions.
• Specific considerations and measurement setups for robots used in industrial, scientific and medical applications.
• Normative references and harmonized measurement instrumentation/techniques (links to CISPR 16 series, etc.).

Typical use and users

Used by EMC engineers, test laboratories, product designers and manufacturers of ISM equipment and domestic appliances, compliance managers, regulatory bodies, and standards committees. Typical activities include designing to emission limits, planning/performing EMC measurements, preparing compliance documentation for market entry, and updating product test programs to reflect the 2024 edition changes.

Related standards

Commonly referenced or related documents include CISPR 16‑1‑1 and CISPR 16‑1‑2 (measurement instrumentation and methods), CISPR 14‑1 (induction cooking and appliance emissions), EN/AS/NZS and IEC generic EMC standards (for radiated/conducted limits and measurement techniques), and relevant AS/NZS 61000 series standards for EMC environment and immunity/limits.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: AS/NZS CISPR 11:2024 is the Australian/New Zealand adoption of CISPR 11:2024 and provides limits and measurement methods for RF disturbances from industrial, scientific and medical electrical equipment and related domestic appliances.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers emission limits (typically 9 kHz to 400 GHz), measurement methods and test arrangements, classification of equipment, special provisions for equipment with radio functions, and measurement considerations for robots and ISM devices.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: EMC/test engineers, product manufacturers of ISM and related equipment, compliance managers, accredited test laboratories, and regulators responsible for EMC conformity and market surveillance.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: It is current. The AS/NZS adoption was published in 2024 (AS/NZS CISPR 11:2024) and replaces earlier national editions (for example AS CISPR 11:2017). The underlying international CISPR 11 (IEC) 7th edition was published earlier in 2024. For contractual or regulatory use confirm the publication and withdrawal dates with the issuing body.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — CISPR 11 is part of the CISPR product‑family EMC standards; it is used together with CISPR measurement standards (CISPR/IEC 16 series) and other product standards (for example CISPR 14‑1 for certain appliances) and the broader AS/NZS and IEC EMC series.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: EMC, CISPR 11, ISM equipment, radio‑frequency disturbance, emission limits, radiated emissions, conducted emissions, measurement methods, robots.
