Overview of CISPR publications

Once a year, CISPR circulates to National Committees a document giving details of progress on all of the standards under its aegis. Included is a table of all CISPR standards, with summary data, and the table below is based on it.

The information in this table is subject to frequent change, so references should be confirmed before use.

More from Ottawa

Last time (despite information to the contrary, it actually wasn't the last time, of course), all the outcomes of the CISPR and TC77 standards meetings in September were not available, but they are now, and there have been further developments.

Generic standards

IEC 61000-6-3

A CD for Amendment 2 was circulated and as a result a second CD is expected early in 2014.

IEC 61000-6-4

Exactly as for its partner above, a CD for Amendment 2 was circulated and as a result a second CD is expected early in 2014. Both are expected to be published at the end of 2014.

CISPR 11

CISPR 11 is a quite complex standard, with a very wide scope. A CDV for one fragment of an amendment is promised early in 2014. Another fragment will also be brought to the CDV stage and the two fragments will be combined for FDIS voting. Two more fragments were issued as draft CDVs in late 2013, but the real CDVs will be issued early in 2014. Yet another fragment was approved at the CDV stage in mid-2013. All this work will result in a sixth edition of the standard, probably by the end of 2014.

But it doesn't stop there. New proposals include:

Measurements at 5 m separation and applicable limits;
Introduction of Fully-Anechoic Room (FAR) tests;
Wireless power transmission.

CISPR 14-1

A CD for a full editorial revision ( to become Edition 6) and a separate one for a technical revision have been circulated. A combined CD, taking into account extensive National Committee comments, will be produced.

CISPR 14-2

A CD for a full revision was circulated, followed by a second CD. No move to CDV is indicated yet.

CISPR 15

Two Interpretation Sheets to Edition 8 were issued. For the next amendment, two fragment CDs have been issued, including the ISHs and technical changes. ADC (Document for Comment) for a full revision, resulting in Edition 9 was circulated. Its purpose (as merely an outline) was not clearly explained, so it attracted many comments. A second DC will be circulated, which is unusual.

CISPR 13

Amendment 1 to Edition 5 is at the CDV stage

CISPR 18

A first set of three maintenance CDs is expected from CISPR B early in 2014.

CISPR 20

No longer in the Programme of Work of CISPR I

CISPR 22

No longer in the Programme of Work of CISPR I

CISPR 24

The issue of a CDV for changes to this standard (to be superseded by CISPR 35) has been delayed, at least until some time in 2014.

CISPR 26

Not to proceed; see the Table above.

CISPR 32

Fragment amendments for both Edition 1 and Edition 2 are currently at the CDV stage. It is probably unprecedented for two editions to be under development at the same time.

CISPR 35

The FDIS was circulated early in January 2014, but considering the volume of comment on the CDV, the outcome of the second stage voting must be considered uncertain.

CISPR 32 and CISPR 35 perforce have much common text; there would be huge problems if they were inconsistent. So it is proposed to have a separate maintenance process for this common text.

Next meetings

Working Groups, Maintenance Teams and Task Forces have meetings throughout the year, and some higher-level committees have two meetings a year. It is useful to know the plans as they can indicate deadlines for submitting comments and new proposals.

CISPR and its sub-committees will next meet in Germany in October 2014.

Next time

Things are always changing, so no doubt there will be development to report, but at present it is not clear what they will be.
