Full title and description

ISO 13766-2:2018 — Earth-moving and building construction machinery — Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of machines with internal electrical power supply — Part 2: Additional EMC requirements for functional safety. This part specifies test methods and acceptance criteria to evaluate EMC as it relates to the functional safety of earth‑moving machinery and selected building construction machines.

Abstract

ISO 13766-2:2018 is concerned with EMC requirements that affect safety‑related parts of control systems (SRP/CS) on machines with internal DC and/or AC power supplies. It addresses EMC phenomena (radiated fields from off‑board and on‑board sources, electrostatic discharge, conducted and coupled transients) and applies to SRP/CS using electrical/electronic components at or above Performance Level b (PL b) or equivalent. The standard is restricted to non‑grid‑connected machines and excludes military applications; grid‑connected machines are covered by IEC 61000.

General information

• Status: Published (confirmed in 2024; remains current).
• Publication date: April 2018 (Edition 1, 2018‑04).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 53.100 (Earth-moving machinery); 33.100.01 (Electromagnetic compatibility).
• Edition / version: Edition 1 (2018).
• Number of pages: ISO bibliographic entry lists 8 pages; some national/adopted versions show longer pagination (e.g., 19–20 pages) due to national forewords/annexes.

Scope

Applies to earth‑moving machinery (as defined in ISO 6165) and selected building construction machinery (for example drilling/foundation equipment, concrete preparation and compaction machinery, road‑construction and maintenance equipment). It is limited to requirements and test methods relevant to functional safety of SRP/CS using electrical/electronic components of at least PL b (or SIL 1 equivalent), and evaluates specified electromagnetic disturbance phenomena for machines with internal power supplies. It does not apply to mains‑supplied (grid‑connected) machines or to military applications.

Key topics and requirements

• EMC test methods and acceptance criteria focused on functional safety (SRP/CS) rather than general EMC performance.
• Scope of machinery covered: earth‑moving and selected building construction machines (references ISO 6165, ISO/TR 12603).
• Evaluation of electromagnetic phenomena: radiated fields (off‑board and on‑board), electrostatic discharge (ESD), conducted and coupled transients.
• Applies to safety‑related parts of control systems using electrical/electronic components at or above Performance Level b (PL b) or equivalent safety integrity levels.
• Exclusions: machines designed for external mains supply (covered by IEC 61000) and military applications.

Typical use and users

Used by OEMs and manufacturers of earth‑moving and building construction machinery, design and safety engineers (functional safety/EMC specialists), test laboratories performing EMC and functional‑safety verification, conformity assessors and technical regulatory bodies that evaluate machine safety. It informs machine design, component selection and laboratory test programs for safety‑relevant control functions.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: An ISO international standard that specifies additional EMC requirements and test methods focused on the functional safety of earth‑moving and selected building construction machines (Part 2 of ISO 13766).

Q: What does it cover?

A: Test methods and acceptance criteria to assess how electromagnetic disturbances (radiated fields, ESD, conducted/coupled transients) can affect safety‑related control functions and components at or above PL b / SIL 1 equivalent on machines with internal electrical power supplies.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Machine manufacturers, EMC and functional safety engineers, test laboratories, conformity assessors and any organization that needs to demonstrate that safety‑related control functions are robust against EMC phenomena in the specified machine categories.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 13766-2:2018 is the current published edition; the ISO bibliographic entry indicates it was published in April 2018 and was reviewed/confirmed in 2024, so this version remains current.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 2 of the ISO 13766 series. Part 1 (ISO 13766-1:2018) covers general EMC requirements under typical electromagnetic environmental conditions; Part 2 adds requirements specific to functional safety.

Q: What are the key keywords?
