This recommended practice presents a rationale for developing limits and recommends sets of limits that are representative of current practice. These limits may be adjusted in particular applications as circumstances dictate.

Over the years many electromagnetic compatibility measurement and control standards have been developed. Many of these are of concern to particular classes of devices such as receivers, transmitters, incidental radiation devices, etc. In establishing limits, it is necessary to relate the measurement technique that is used to determine compliance with a given limit to the field conditions under which the device being controlled will actually operate. This recommended practice presents a rationale for developing limits and recommends sets of limits that are representative of current practice. These limits may be adjusted in particular applications as circumstances dictate.
