IEC 61587-3 Edition 2.0, “Mechanical structures for electronic equipment – Tests for IEC 60917 and IEC 60297 – Part 3: Electromagnetic shielding performance tests for cabinets and subracks,” has just been released and you can buy the standard in paper or pdf format from Document Center Inc. IEC 61587-3:2013 specifies the tests for empty cabinets and subracks for electromagnetic shielding performance, in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 3000 MHz.
The IEC 60297 and IEC 60917 series provide the stipulated attenuation values for the definition of the shielding performance level of cabinets and subracks. The shielding performance levels are chosen with respect to the requirements of the typical fields of industrial application.
IEC 61587-3:2013 cancels and replaces IEC 61587-3:2006 (Edition 1.0) as it is a technical revision. The main changes are the correction of the errors of EM code descriptions. Also, the frequency range for the shielding performance is extended up to 3000 MHz.
Other standards in the series include:
- IEC 61587-1, Edition 3.0: Mechanical structures for electronic equipment – Tests for IEC 60917 and IEC 60297 series – Part 1: Environmental requirements, test set-up and safety aspects for cabinets, racks, subracks and chassis under indoor conditions
- IEC 61587-2, Edition 2.0: Mechanical structures for electronic equipment – Tests for IEC 60917 and 60297 – Part 2: Seismic tests for cabinets and racks
- IEC 61587-4, Edition 1.0: Mechanical structures for electronic equipment – Tests for IEC 60917 and IEC 60297 series – Part 4: Combination of performance levels for modular cabinets
