BS EN 50370-1:2005

This standard BS EN 50370-1:2005 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Product family standard for machine tools is classified in these ICS categories:

• 33.100.10 Emission
• 25.080.01 Machine tools in general

This standard deals with the electromagnetic emission (radio frequency protection) of machine tools, excluding electro discharge machines (EDM), designed exclusively for industrial and similar purposes that use electricity, the rated voltage of the machine tool not exceeding 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC between lines. Machine tools may incorporate motors, heating elements or their combination, may contain electric or electronic circuitry, and may be powered by the mains, or any other electrical power source. This standard does not cover fixed installations as defined in the Guide to the Application of Directive 89/336/EEC, published by the European Commission. Emission requirements in the frequency range 9 kHz to 400 GHz are covered. No measurements need to be performed at frequencies where no requirements are specified.
