Full title and description
CISPR 35:2016 — Electromagnetic compatibility of multimedia equipment — Immunity requirements. This international standard specifies intrinsic immunity requirements and reproducible test procedures so that multimedia equipment (MME) operates as intended in its electromagnetic environment across the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz for equipment with rated AC or DC supply voltages not exceeding 600 V.
Abstract
CISPR 35:2016 defines immunity performance criteria, test methods and test levels for multimedia equipment (MME). The standard groups immunity tests (ESD, radiated and conducted RF immunity, EFT/burst, surge, power‑frequency magnetic field, voltage dips and interruptions, broadband impulsive conducted disturbances, etc.), specifies monitoring and EUT (equipment under test) functional verification methods, and includes informative and normative annexes that address particular functions and test conditions for different classes of multimedia equipment.

Scope
CISPR 35 applies to multimedia equipment (MME) — including information technology equipment, audio/video equipment, broadcast receivers and combinations thereof — having rated AC or DC supply voltages up to 600 V. The standard’s objectives are to establish immunity requirements that give adequate intrinsic immunity for the equipment in its intended environment and to specify test procedures that ensure reproducibility and repeatability of immunity tests over the band 0 Hz to 400 GHz. The standard also defines performance criteria and annexes for assessing essential functions of MME.
Key topics and requirements
- Electrostatic discharge (ESD) test methods and performance criteria.
- Radiated RF continuous immunity (radiated immunity) including sweep and spot frequency checks.
- Conducted RF immunity where applicable (ports and interfaces).
- Electrical fast transients / burst (EFT) and surge immunity tests.
- Voltage dips, short interruptions and variations (VDI) testing.
- Power‑frequency magnetic field (PFM) immunity.
- Broadband impulsive conducted disturbance (CI) tests.
- Monitoring requirements for the Equipment Under Test (EUT) and verification of all product functions (functional performance criteria A/B/C and function‑specific annexes).
- Annexes that provide function‑specific test guidance (examples: audio/video, telephony, broadcast reception, printing/scanning, etc.).
- Requirements and guidance to support reproducible test setups and repeatable results (test equipment, test site, instrumentation and procedures).
The list above summarizes the principal test types, performance criteria and functional annexes defined by CISPR 35.
Typical use and users
Manufacturers and design teams of multimedia equipment (MME) use CISPR 35 to design and verify product immunity; test laboratories and accreditation bodies use it to perform and assess immunity testing; regulatory and conformity assessment organizations use it as a harmonized reference; and compliance/EMC engineers apply the standard during product development, pre‑compliance and final certification testing. Typical product categories include PCs, displays, set‑top boxes, consumer audio/video equipment, networked multimedia devices, printers and devices that combine several multimedia functions.
Related standards
CISPR 35 is the immunity counterpart to multimedia emissions standards such as CISPR 32. In Europe CISPR 35 has been adopted as EN 55035 (immunity for multimedia equipment). CISPR 35 is also used alongside broader EMC test and measurement standards in the IEC 61000 series (for example, IEC 61000‑4‑2 for ESD, IEC 61000‑4‑3 for radiated immunity, IEC 61000‑4‑4 for EFT, IEC 61000‑4‑5 for surge, IEC 61000‑4‑11 for voltage dips/interruptions) and application‑specific standards (for example IEC 60601‑1‑2 for medical electrical equipment). ISO/IEC 17025 is commonly referenced for laboratory competence when performing the tests.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: CISPR 35:2016 is an international EMC standard that specifies immunity requirements and test methods for multimedia equipment (MME) so products maintain intended functionality in the presence of electromagnetic disturbances.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers immunity test levels, performance criteria and test procedures for ESD, radiated and conducted RF immunity, EFT/burst, surge, power‑frequency magnetic fields, voltage dips/interruptions and broadband impulsive disturbances, plus guidance on monitoring the equipment under test and function‑specific annexes for different multimedia functions.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Product designers, EMC and compliance engineers, test laboratories, accreditation bodies and regulatory authorities who are responsible for ensuring that multimedia equipment meets recognized immunity requirements. Manufacturers rely on it for design verification and pre‑market testing.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: CISPR 35:2016 (Edition 1.0) remains the published international edition from August 2016. Revision work toward a second edition of CISPR 35 has been underway (committee ballots and drafts have been circulated), and stakeholder sources indicate an edition 2 is planned or in development; implementers should check the IEC/CISPR publication catalogue or national standards bodies for the absolute current publication status and any national adoptions or transitions.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — CISPR 35 is part of the family of CISPR/IEC EMC standards. It is specifically the immunity standard for multimedia equipment and is used alongside CISPR 32 (multimedia emissions) and the IEC 61000‑4‑xx series of test method standards. It also interacts with sector or product‑specific standards where applicable (for example medical, automotive or industrial standards).
