BS EN 61547:1996 is a British Standard that specifies requirements for equipment used in lighting systems to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The standard is titled "Equipment for General Lighting Purposes - EMC Immunity Requirements."
This standard provides guidelines to ensure that lighting equipment, such as lamps, luminaires, and control gear, does not cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) or experience performance issues when subjected to electromagnetic disturbances. It aims to establish a level of immunity for lighting equipment against common sources of electromagnetic disturbances found in various environments.
BS EN 61547:1996 covers a range of immunity tests, including electrostatic discharge (ESD), radio frequency electromagnetic fields, electrical fast transients/bursts, surges, and conducted disturbances induced by radio-frequency fields. The standard defines the test levels and performance criteria that lighting equipment should meet to comply with the EMC requirements.
It is worth noting that standards can be revised or updated over time to incorporate new technologies or address emerging concerns. Therefore, it is recommended to consult the latest version of the standard to ensure compliance with the most recent requirements.
