UNE-EN IEC 61543:2023

112 This document provides specific emission and immunity requirements, tests and performance

113 criteria for residual current-operated protective devices (RCDs), for household and similar use,

114 for rated voltages not exceeding 440 V.

115 Household and similar use corresponds to the description given in the generic standard

116 IEC 61000-6-1 for residential, commercial, and light-industrial electromagnetic environments.

117 This document is intended to be referred to by RCD product standards and is not intended to

118 be used as a standalone document.

119 Residual current-operated protective devices are:

120 Residual current operated circuit-breakers without integral overcurrent protection for

121 household and similar use (RCCBs) covered by IEC 61008 series and IEC 62423;

122 Residual current operated circuit-breakers with integral overcurrent protection for household

123 and similar use (RCBOs) covered by IEC 61009 series and IEC 62423;

124 Residual current devices with or without overcurrent protection for socket-outlets (SRCDs)

125 covered by IEC 62640;

126 Portable residual current devices without integral overcurrent protection (PRCDs) covered

127 by IEC 61540;

128 Devices with an RCD functionality for household and similar use according product

129 standards following the group safety publications for general safety requirements for RCDs,

130 IEC 60755.

131 This edition applies if it is referred to as a dated reference in the relevant product standard.

132 This document is also intended to be used as a guideline in the preparation of EMC

133 requirements and tests for other product standards under the scope of SC 23E. It also specifies

134 generic performance criteria intended to be transformed into specific performance criteria by

135 the relevant product standard.

136 Note: Examples of other product standards under the scope of SC 23E are:

137 " IEC 62020-1 Electrical accessories Residual current monitors (RCMs) Part 1: RCMs for household and

138 similar uses ;
