Gives well-defined methods of measuring transients so that measurements made by different laboratories may be compared and meaningful limits placed on transients generated by particular types of equipment and on the susceptibility of particular equipment to transients.

This report is intended to give guidance on methods of measurement of short duration transients on low voltage power and signal lines.
