IEC 60341: Household Appliance Radio Interference — EMC Compliance Conducted Emission Limits

Is Your Washing Machine Interfering With the Neighbour Radio? Household Appliance EMC Limits

IEC 60341 specifies household appliance radio interference limits and measurement. Every appliance with a motor, SMPS, or microprocessor injects HF noise (150 kHz–30 MHz) into the mains — this is conducted emission. CISPR 14-1 (incorporating IEC 60341) defines quasi-peak and average limits across the frequency range.
