What is BS EN 61000-4-2:2009?
BS EN 61000-4-2:2009 looks at the immunity requirements and test methods for electrical and electronic equipment subject to static electric discharges. The standard also defines the ranges of test levels relating to different environmental and installation conditions, and establishes test procedures. The main goal of BS EN 6100-4-2 is to set up a common and reproducible basis to evaluate the performance of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to electrostatics.
How does it work?
BS EN 61000-4-2 defines the typical waveform of the electric discharge current and the range of test levels that should be taken into account. It also focuses on the test equipment, test setup and test procedures. Other topics include calibration procedures and measurement uncertainty.
