conscientious, working to ensure the quality, accuracy and
completeness of their work. When preparing standards for
equipment or systems, experts need to know which EMC
aspects need to be included in their work. Often, they either
need to refer to the correct IEC standard in its entirety, or refer
to the appropriate sections, paragraphs and clauses in the text
they are preparing. As a useful tool, this brochure will help
technical committee and subcommittee experts to save time
by providing a handy guide listing all IEC EMC publications. If
they cannot find the information they need in existing EMC
Publications, technical committees can ask for assistance
from, and work with, the relevant horizontal group to develop
what they need.
Components
These are items that do not themselves have a final function
but which are intended for inclusion in an apparatus, such as
capacitors, transformers and circuit boards.
4
Apparatus
These are single finished products with a direct function and
intended for final use, such as domestic appliances, medical
equipment, tools and circuit-breakers.
Systems
These are combinations of apparatus and/or components
constituting a single functional unit and intended to be installed
and operated to perform a specific task. A good example is a
computer system comprising a CPU, monitor, keyboard,
mouse, printer, etc.
Installations
These are combinations of components, apparatus and
systems assembled or erected in a given area, such as
industrial plants, electricity substations or telecontrol systems
for large areas.
Definitions*
*Note: when preparing IEC publications, experts should refer to the definitions given
in IEC Guides 107 and 108.

Basic EMC standard: specifies the general
conditions or rules necessary for achieving
electromagnetic compatibility. Serves also as a
building block for the IEC technical committees
that develop EMC Product standards.
