BS EN 61000-4-2:2009 relates to the immunity requirements and test methods for electrical
and electronic equipment subjected to static electricity discharges, from operators directly,
and from personnel to adjacent objects. It additionally defines ranges of test levels which
relate to different environmental and installation conditions and establishes test procedures.
The object of this standard is to establish a common and reproducible basis for evaluating the
performance of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to electrostatic
discharges. In addition, it includes electrostatic discharges which may occur from personnel to
objects near vital equipment.
BS EN 61000-4-2:2009 defines:
- typical waveform of the discharge current;
- range of test levels;
- test equipment;
- test setup;
- test procedure;
- calibration procedure;
- measurement uncertainty.
BS EN 61000-4-2:2009 gives specifications for test performed in "laboratories" and "post-installation tests" performed on equipment in the final installation.
BS EN 61000-4-2:2009 does not intend to specify the tests to be applied to particular apparatus or
systems. Its main aim is to give a general basic reference to all concerned product
committees of the IEC. The product committees (or users and manufacturers of equipment)
remain responsible for the appropriate choice of the tests and the severity level to be applied
to their equipment.
In order not to impede the task of coordination and standardization, the product committees or
users and manufacturers are strongly recommended to consider (in their future work or
revision of old standards) the adoption of the relevant immunity tests specified in this
standard.
