IEC 61000 is a set of international standards developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission that focuses on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). These standards provide guidelines to ensure that electrical and electronic devices can operate without causing or being affected by electromagnetic interference. The IEC 61000 series covers various aspects of EMC, including immunity to electromagnetic disturbances and emissions from devices. Compliance with these standards helps manufacturers design products that meet regulatory requirements, ensuring safety and reliability in diverse environments, from industrial settings to consumer electronics.
