IEC 61000-4-2 Consolidated version Revised

This publication is based on IEC 60801-2 (second edition: 1991). It relates to the immunity requirements and test methods for electrical and electronic equipment subjected to static electricity discharges, from operators directly, and to adjacent objects. It additionally defines ranges of test levels which relate to different environmental and installation conditions and establishes test procedures. The object of this standard is to establish a common and reproducible basis for evaluating the performance of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to electrostatic discharges. In addition, it includes electrostatic discharges which may occur from personnel to objects near vital equipment. This consolidated version consists of the first edition (1995), its amendment 1 (1998) and its amendment 2 (2000). Therefore, no need to order amendments in addition to this publication.
