FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard CISPR 12 has been prepared by CISPR subcommittee D:
Electromagnetic disturbances related to electric/electronic equipment on vehicles and internal
combustion powered devices.
This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2001 and its Amendment
1 (2005). This edition constitutes a technical revision.
The following changes were made with respect to the previous edition:
– deletion of narrowband / broadband determination
– general improvement of wording

The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in

INTRODUCTION
There is a specific need for standards to define acceptable radio frequency performance of all
electrical/electronic products. CISPR 12 has been developed to serve the road vehicle and
related industries with test methods and limits that provide satisfactory protection for radio
reception.
CISPR 12 has been used for many years as a regulatory requirement in numerous countries,
to provide protection for radio receivers in the residential environment. It has been extremely
effective in protecting the radio environment outside the vehicle.

LIMITS AND METHODS OF MEASUREMENT FOR THE PROTECTION
OF OFF-BOARD RECEIVERS



1 Scope

Residential Environment
The limits in this International Standard are
designed to provide protection for broadcast
receivers in the frequency range of 30 MHz
to 1 000 MHz when used in the residential
environment. Compliance with this standard
may not provide adequate protection for new
types of radio transmissions or receivers
used in the residential environment nearer
than 10 m to the vehicle, boat or device.
NOTE 1 Experience has shown that compliance with
this standard may provide satisfactory protection for

receivers of other types of transmissions when used in
the residential environment, including radio
transmissions in frequency ranges other than that
specified.
This standard applies to the emission of electromagnetic energy which may cause
interference to radio reception and which is emitted from
a) vehicles propelled by an internal combustion engine, electrical means or both (see 3.1);
b) boats propelled by an internal combustion engine, electrical means or both (see 3.2).
Boats are to be tested in the same manner as vehicles except where they have unique
characteristics as explicitly stated in this standard;
c) devices equipped with internal combustion engines (see 3.3).
See Annex G for a flow chart to help determine the applicability of CISPR 12.
This standard does not apply to aircraft, traction systems (railway, tramway and electric trolley
bus), or to incomplete vehicles. In the case of a dual-mode trolley bus (e.g. propelled by
power from either a.c./d.c. mains or an internal combustion engine), the internal combustion
propulsion system must be included, but the a.c./d.c. mains portion of the vehicle propulsion
system is excluded from this standard.
NOTE 2 Protection of receivers used on board the same vehicle as the disturbance source(s) are covered by
CISPR 25.
The measurement of electromagnetic disturbances while the vehicle is connected to power
mains for charging is not covered in this standard. The user is referred to appropriate IEC and
CISPR standards which define measurement techniques and limits for this condition.
Annex H lists work being considered for future revisions.
