What is IEC 61326-2-2?

IEC 61326-2-2 is Part 2-2 of the IEC 61326 standard family — the specific EMC requirements for portable test, measuring, and monitoring equipment used in low-voltage (LV) distribution systems. It supplements the general requirements of IEC 61326-1 with additional test configurations, operational conditions, and performance criteria tailored to the specific use environment of portable instruments connected to or used near LV distribution infrastructure.

Portable instruments used on LV distribution systems are subject to particularly severe electromagnetic disturbances — conducted transients from switching, surges from fault conditions, and radiated fields from nearby high-current busbars and cables. IEC 61326-2-2 addresses these by specifying enhanced immunity test levels and connection configurations appropriate for clamp meters, insulation testers, power quality analysers, and similar instruments. See our IEC 61326-2 Lab Equipment Testing page for the full 61326-2 sub-standard family, and IEC 61326-1 for the general requirements that apply alongside this standard.

🔎 IEC 61326-2-2 vs IEC 61326-1: IEC 61326-1 provides the general EMC requirements for all measurement, control, and laboratory equipment. IEC 61326-2-2 provides additional specific requirements for the sub-category of portable instruments used in LV distribution systems — it does not replace IEC 61326-1 but supplements it. Both standards must be considered for complete CE marking compliance of equipment in this category.

IEC 61326-2-2 in a Complete CE Marking Program

✓

IEC 61326-1 General Requirements

The general EMC standard for all measurement equipment. IEC 61326-2-2 supplements — not replaces — IEC 61326-1. Both must be applied for CE marking.

✓

IEC 61326-2 Family

Part 2-2 is one of three particular requirements sub-standards. See the IEC 61326-2 page for the full family overview including -2-1 and -2-3.

✓

IEC 61010-1 Safety Standard

CE marking of measurement equipment also requires the safety standard IEC 61010-1. Compatible Electronics is accredited for both EMC and safety at Lake Forest.

✓

CE Marking under EU EMC Directive

IEC 61326-1 and IEC 61326-2-2 are harmonised under EU EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. Test results support the Technical File and Declaration of Conformity.
