IEEE 2425-2025

This standard provides qualification methods and criteria to establish the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of equipment in nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities. The methods and criteria incorporated in this standard apply to electrical and instrumentation and control (I&C) equipment. EMC qualification involves the following two elements: a) Testing to assess susceptibility of equipment to interference levels that bound the expected electromagnetic environment at the installation site b) Testing to assess emissions of equipment to ensure that the contribution to the electromagnetic environment does not invalidate bounding interference levels applied for susceptibility testing

The purpose of this standard is to provide qualification methods and criteria for establishing the EMC of electrical and I&C equipment used in nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities. EMC involves susceptibility testing and emissions testing. Susceptibility testing allows assessment of equipment immunity to electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) and confirmation of its surge withstand capability (SWC). Emissions testing provides assurance that equipment is compatible with the expected electromagnetic environment. This standard specifies test methods and test levels appropriate for nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities.

New IEEE Standard - Active. Qualification methods and criteria to establish the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of equipment in nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities are provided in this standard. The methods and criteria incorporated in this standard apply to electrical and instrumentation and control (I&C) equipment. EMC qualification involves the following two elements: a) testing to assess susceptibility of equipment to interference levels that bound the expected electromagnetic environment at the installation site and b) testing to assess emissions of equipment to help ensure that the contribution to the electromagnetic environment does not invalidate bounding interference levels applied for susceptibility testing.
