Residual current-operated protective devices (RCDs) for household and similar use - Electromagnetic compatibility

IEC 61543:2022 provides specific emission and immunity requirements, tests and performance criteria for residual current-operated protective devices (RCDs), for household and similar use, for rated voltages not exceeding 440 V.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1995, Amendment 1:2004 and Amendment 2:2005. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

This edition includes the following significant changes with respect to the previous edition:

some editorial modifications were introduced to comply to the ISO/IEC Directives Part 2:2021, e.g. introduction of Clause 3 – Terms and Definitions and renumbering of the whole document. In particular, the numbering of performance criteria has been changed (5.1.1, 5.1.2 become A, B, etc.);
some technical improvements:

Modification of scope and addition of Clause 6 and Clause 7 to enable the use of this document as a guideline for the preparation of EMC requirements and tests for other product standards under the scope of SC 23E;
Requirements for voltage dips and interruptions added;
Repetition rate for burst-test, defined at 5 kHz;
Surge test: Specifying impulse voltage application point and add
