BS EN IEC 61326-2-5:2021

Comprehensive Standard for Electrical Measurement and Control Equipment

BS EN IEC 61326-2-5:2021 is a critical standard that establishes the requirements for electrical equipment used in measurement, control, and laboratory applications. This standard ensures the safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and reliable performance of a wide range of devices, from simple sensors to complex analytical instruments.

Ensuring Safety and EMC Compliance

This standard is designed to protect users, the environment, and the equipment itself from potential hazards. It covers:

• General safety requirements for electrical equipment
• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests and limits
• Immunity to electromagnetic disturbances
• Emission of electromagnetic disturbances

By adhering to the requirements of BS EN IEC 61326-2-5:2021, manufacturers and users can be confident that their equipment meets the highest safety and EMC standards, reducing the risk of accidents, equipment failure, or interference with other devices.

Reliable Performance in Challenging Environments

The standard also addresses the performance of electrical equipment in a variety of environmental conditions, including:

• Temperature and humidity variations
• Vibration and shock
• Electromagnetic disturbances
• Power supply fluctuations

This ensures that the equipment can operate reliably and accurately, even in challenging industrial or laboratory settings, where environmental factors can impact the performance of sensitive measurement and control devices.
