The following list outlines a number of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards which are known at the time of writing to be either available or have been made available for public comment. These standards attempt to standardize product EMC performance, with respect to conducted or radiated radio interference from electrical or electronic equipment, imposition of other types of disturbance on the mains supply by such equipment, and the sensitivity of such equipment to received interference.

The legal status of these standards varies according to the jurisdiction. Standards called up by the European Union's EMC Directive effectively have the force of law in the EU.

IEC standards

The IEC standards on Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are mostly part of the IEC 61000 family. Below are some examples.

CISPR standards

CISPR [1] is the acronym of Comité International Spécial des Perturbations Radio,[1] or the International Special Committee for Radio Protection of IEC.CISPR Standards aim to the protection of radio reception in the range 9 kHz to 400 GHz from interference caused by operation of electrical or electronic appliances and systems in the electromagnetic environment.CISPR standards cover product emission and immunity requirements as well as defining test methods and equipment.

CISPR standards are divided into the following categories:[2]

Basic Standards

They give the general and fundamental conditions or rules for the assessment of EMC and related performance of all products, systems or installations, and serve as reference documents for CISPR Generic and Product (Family) Standards. Basic Standards are general and hence are not dedicated to specific product families or products; they relate to general information, to the disturbing phenomena and to the measurement or testing techniques. They do not contain any prescribed limits or any product/system related performance specifications. However, methods and guidance on how to generate appropriate limits for the protection of radio reception are given.

The following are CISPR Basic EMC Standards:

Generic Standards

Generic EMC Standards are standards related to a particular environment, which specify the set of essential EMC requirements and test procedures, applicable to all the products or systems intended for operation in this environment, provided that no specific EMC Standards for a particular product family, product, system or installation exist. Limits are included, and reference is made to the test procedures given in the relevant Basic Standards.

The following are CISPR Generic EMC Standards:

Product (Family) Standards

Product (Family) Standards define specific EMC requirements, test procedures and limits dedicated to particular products, systems or installations for which specific conditions must be considered.

The following are CISPR Product (Family) Standards:

(Note: CISPR 13 has been replaced by CISPR 32)

(Note: CISPR 20 has been replaced by CISPR 35)

(Note: CISPR 22 has been replaced by CISPR 32)

(Note: CISPR 24 has been replaced by CISPR 35)

In the CISPR Guide, March 2021 there is a non- exhaustive selection list of products and the appropriate CISPR standards to be applied.
