SANS 61000-1-2:2003 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Part 1-2: General - Methodology for the achievement of the functional safety of electrical and electronic equipment with regard to electromagnetic phenomena
This technical specification specifies a methodology for the achievement of functional safety with regard to electromagnetic (EM) phenomena of electrical and electronic equipment: apparatuses, systems and installations, as installed and used under operational conditions.
It specifies procedures for
- determining requirements;
- requirements;
- design aspects including installation of the equipment;
- analytical assessment methods;
- testing recommendations;
- documentation.
It is not concerned with direct hazards from electromagnetic fields on living beings nor is it concerned with safety related to breakdown of insulation or other mechanisms by which persons can be exposed to electrical hazards.
This technical specification applies to the influence of the electromagnetic environment including adjacent devices on apparatuses and small or large systems, however not to the influence of internal sources in the apparatuses, which have to be considered in relation with their design.
It is intended for product committees, designers, manufacturers and installers of equipment and systems.
This document is focused on the safety analysis and testing methods related to electromagnetic influences. With regard to quantitative assessment methods, i.e. probability of failures, the methods described in the IEC 61508 series can be applied.
