CISPR 12

(Vehicles, Boats and Devices with internal combustion engines or traction batteries – Radio Disturbance Characteristics – Limits and Methods of Measurements for the protection of Off-Board Receivers) 

About CISPR 12

CISPR 12 is an international standard that contains limits and procedures for the measurement of radio disturbances in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 1 GHz. The limits in this standard are designed to provide protection for broadcast receivers in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 1 000 MHz when used in the residential environment. Compliance with this standard may not provide adequate protection for new types of radio transmissions or receivers used in the residential environment nearer than 10 m to the vehicle, boat or device.

Title of current verion of CISPR 12 is Vehicles, boats and internal combustion engines – Radio disturbance characteristics – Limits and methods of measurement for the protection of off-board receivers
