1 This Part 1 of the International Standards series IEC 62236 outlines the structure and the content of the whole series.
Annex A describes the characteristics of the railway system which affect electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) behaviour. Annex B specifies a management process for achieving EMC at the interface between the railway infrastructure and trains.
The objective of the whole series of standards is to specify the EM emission and immunity requirements for railway products, and for the railway as an installation.
Phenomena excluded from the series are nuclear EM pulse, abnormal operating conditions and the induction effects of direct lightning strike.
Emission limits at the railway boundary do not apply to intentional transmitters within the railway boundaries.
Safety considerations are not covered by this series of standards.
The biological effects of non-ionizing radiation as well as apparatus for medical assistance, such as pacemakers, are not considered here.
2 This International Standard is supplemented by the following specific standards:
IEC 62236-2, Railway applications - Electromagnetic compatibility - Part 2: Emission of the whole railway system to the outside world
IEC 62236-3-1, Railway applications - Electromagnetic compatibility - Part 3-1: Rolling stock -Train and complete vehicle
IEC 62236-3-2, Railway applications - Electromagnetic compatibility - Part 3-2: Rolling stock -Apparatus
IEC 62236-4, Railway applications - Electromagnetic compatibility - Part 4: Emission and immunity of the signalling and telecommunications apparatus
IEC 62236-5, Railway applications - Electromagnetic compatibility - Part 5: Emission and immunity of fixed power supply installations and apparatus
