Railway applications - Electromagnetic compatibility - Part 3-2: Rolling stock - Apparatus prEN 50121-3-2

Scope

This European Standard applies to emission and immunity aspects of EMC for electrical and electronic
apparatus intended for use on railway rolling stock. EN 50121-3-2 applies for the integration of
apparatus on rolling stock.
The frequency range considered is from DC to 400 GHz. No measurements need to be performed at
frequencies where no requirement is specified.
This standard takes into account the internal environment of the railway rolling stock and the external
environment of the railway, and interference to the apparatus from equipment such as hand-held radiotransmitters.
The objective of this standard is to define limits and test methods for electromagnetic emissions and
immunity test requirements in relation to conducted and radiated disturbances.
These limits and tests represent essential electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
Emission requirements have been selected so as to ensure that disturbances generated by the
apparatus operated normally on railway rolling stock do not exceed a level which could prevent other
apparatus from operating as intended. The emission limits given in this document take precedence over
emission requirements for individual apparatus on board the rolling stock given in other documents.
Test requirements are specified for each port considered.
The specific provisions in this document are complementary to the general provisions in EN 50121-1:2017
