European EMC Certification
European Commission’s objective for European Market
New Legislative Framework
Improve internal market for goods
Strengthen conditions for placing a wide range of products
Improve market surveillance
Boost quality of conformity assessment
Clarify use of CE marking
Directives as central tool to reach goals
EMC directive 2004/108/EC:
THE starting point of all activities concerning EMC
Single market – better regulation

European EMC CertificationImpact of the EMC Directive
EMC directive
Essential requirements
National Legislation

European EMC CertificationAspects for certification
Essential requirements
Protection requirements – ANNEX I
Equipment has to be state of the art
Protection of radio and telecommunications equipment
Appropriate level of immunity
Create state of the art standards
Address new technologies
Adopt existing standards to new requirements
Create technology neutral requirements
EMC standardi-
zation
Two ways to show compliance to directive
ANNEX II+IV – Harmonized standards and production control
ANNEX II-IV – ANNEX II + TCF and Notified Body
Documentation and CE declaration part of compliance
EMC certification

European EMC Standards
Harmonized PLC and BPL related EMC standards:
EN 50065 - Signalling on low-voltage electrical installations in the frequency range 3
kHz to 148,5 kHz - Part 1: General requirements, frequency bands and
electromagnetic disturbances
EN 50561-1:2013 - Power line communication apparatus used in low-voltage
installations - Radio disturbance characteristics - Limits and methods of measurement
- Part 1: Apparatus for in-home use
EN 50412-2-1 - Power line communication apparatus and systems used in low-voltage
installations in the frequency range 1,6 MHz to 30 MHz - Part 2-1: Residential,
commercial and industrial environment - Immunity requirements
Work in progress:
EN 50561-2 - Power line telecommunications modems - Radio disturbance
characteristics - Limits and methods of measurement - Part 2: Modems for access
networks
Harmonized and work in progress

Conclusions
BPL chip set ecosystems
IEEE 1901 provides the healthiest ecosystem of BPL chip sets
Mature standard, very well adapted technology
Broad support in the industry
European EMC certification provides clear framework
EMC certification for broadband power line is no issue
Different ways to achieve the same goal
EMC certification is a formality
Ecosystem and EMC certification
