This document replaces GB 17625.1-2012 Electromagnetic compatibility - Limits -
Limits for harmonic current emissions (equipment input current <=16 A per phase).
Compared with GB 17625.1-2012, in addition to structural adjustments and editorial
changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
a) Change the scope of application, to be consistent with GB/T 17625.8, by changing
"an input current up to and including 16 A per phase" to "a rated input current up
to and including 16 A per phase" (see Clause 1; Clause 1 of the 2012 edition);
b) Add terms and definitions of "integrated lamp" and "variable speed drive"; simply
and clarify the terminology used for "lighting equipment" (see Clause 3);
c) Classify refrigerators and freezers having one or more variable-speed drives to
Class D (see 5.1);
d) Add the classification of professional luminaires for stage lighting and studios
(see 5.2);
e) Add a description for the classification of lighting equipment (see 5.2);
f) Add a description for the classification of external power supplies (see 5.3);
g) Add requirements for the multifunction equipment (see 6.5);
h) Add a threshold of 5 W under which no emission limits apply to all lighting
equipment (see 7.1);
i) Modify the requirements applying to the dimmers when operating non-
incandescent lamps (see 7.1; Clause 7 of the 2012 edition);
j) Add a clarification for lighting equipment including one control module with an
active input power <= 2 W (see 7.4.1);
k) Add limit requirements for Class C equipment under different rated power (see
7.4.2 and 7.4.3);
l) Modify the emission limits for lighting equipment with a rated power <= 25 W (see
7.4.3; 7.3 of the 2012 edition);
m) Add compliance with this document (see Clause 8);
n) Adjust the requirements for measurement equipment to Annex A (see Annex A;
Annex B of the 2012 edition);
o) Modify the test conditions for television receiver (see B.2; C.2 of the 2012 edition);
p) Modify the test conditions for lighting equipment (see B.5 and B.6; C.5 and
C.6.2012 of the 2012 edition);
q) Remove use of reference lamps and reference ballasts for the tests of lighting
equipment (see C.5.3 and C.5.4 of the 2012 edition);
r) Add the test conditions for digital load side transmission control devices (see
B.5.5);
s) Modify the test conditions for vacuum cleaner (see B.7; C.7 of the 2012 edition);
t) Modify the test conditions for washing machine (see B.8; C.8 of the 2012 edition);
u) Modify the test conditions for induction hobs, taking also into account the other
types of cooking appliances (see B.11; C.11 of the 2012 edition);
v) Modify the test conditions for arc welding equipment (see B.14; C.14 of the 2012
edition);
w) Add the test conditions for high pressure cleaner (see B.15);
x) Add the test conditions for refrigerators and freezers (see B.16);
y) Add the test conditions for external power supplies (see B.17);
z) Add the normative reference of partial odd harmonic current (see Annex C).
This document modifies and adopts IEC 61000-3-2.2020 Electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) - Part 3-2.Limits - Limits for harmonic current emissions
(equipment input current <=16 A per phase).
The technical differences between this document and IEC 61000-3-2.2020 and the
reasons are as follows.
-- For "professional equipment" (see 3.9) in "terms and definitions", adopt the
definition in GB/T 4365-2003 Electrotechnical terminology - Electromagnetic
compatibility;
-- Delete "60 Hz", "230/400 V and 240/415 V" in "General" (see 6.1), because
neither the frequency 60 Hz, nor is the voltage level "230/400 V and 240/415 V"
used in China, so the relevant parameter of 60 Hz and the voltage parameters of
"230/400 V and 240/415 V" are removed;
-- Add a situation without default conditions (see Annex B.2.2.2) in the part
"television receiver" of "type test", to improve the operability of the test;
-- Use the normative reference GB/T 20550-2013 to replace IEC 60155.1993 in the
part "luminaire" of "type test" (see Annex B.5.3);
-- Remove "subject to approval by National Committees" in "General" of "POHC
calculation" (see Annex C.1).
The following editorial changes have been made for this document.
-- Change the standard name to "Electromagnetic compatibility - Limits - Part 1.
Limits for harmonic current emissions (equipment input current<=16 A per phase)"
to be consistent with the standard system in China;
-- Use GB/T 17626.7 to replace the informative reference IEC 61000-4-7 in Note 2
of C.1 of Annex C, and add it to the references.

4 General
The objective of this document is to set limits for harmonic emissions of equipment
within its scope, so that, with due allowance for the emissions from other equipment,
compliance with the limits ensures that harmonic disturbance levels do not exceed the
compatibility levels defined in IEC 61000-2-2.
5 Classification of equipment
For the purpose of harmonic current limitation, equipment is classified as Class A~D.
6 General requirements
The restrictions specified in 6.2 also apply to the categories of equipment listed in 7.1
for which no harmonic current limits apply.
7 Harmonic current limits
The procedure for applying the limits and assessing the results is shown in Figure 1.
For the following categories of equipment, limits are not specified in this document.
8 Compliance with this document
Unless otherwise stated, where this document gives options for evaluating harmonics
with a choice of test methods and associated limits, any one of these options may be used.
