ITU-T K.74 PDF

With the recent advances in telecommunication technologies, high-speed access networks, by which each user can easily access to networks, have been introduced in home environments. As a result, many users can now enjoy many network-based services and many electronic devices are connected to the network so that home networks can be easily constructed.

On the other hand, there are many wired and wireless technologies that have appeared on the market, and these kinds of technologies could be introduced in a home network environment. In these network configurations, several kinds of network-related equipment are introduced in the home and are set in close proximity to each other. This situation may create a severe electromagnetic interference and produce new types of EMC problems. The purpose of this Recommendation is to provide EMC, resistibility and safety requirements for home network devices.

Existing international standards are referenced to avoid duplication. This Recommendation is not intended to provide any new additional requirements for devices used in home network. This Recommendation is also not intended to replace national regulations or laws.
