Abstract :
CISPR24 or its ratified harmonized version EN55024 documents procedures to assess the. performance of information technology equipment (ITE) while subjected to various continuous and transient, conducted and radiated disturbances such as electrostatic discharges (ESD) and electrical fast transient and burst (EFT/B). Basic EMC standards listed in CISPR24 have not proven to be highly repeatable and reproducible. Therefore this has made practical design decisions to improve ITE products performance to the standards difficult. This article presents strategies that can be used to increase the confidence in the EMC basic standards called in CISPR24. These strategies include: proper test planning, calibration and verification, repeatability and reproducibility studies, precise diagnostics and the application of a statistical process
