3Terms of Reference
- SG 5 is responsible for studies related to
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of
telecommunication systems including to avoid
hazard to human beings - Lead SG for
- Area 0 Generic, Domain 15 ElectroMagnetic
Compatibility (EMC), Protection and Safety
4Highlights of achievements (I)
- SG 5s leadership on the management of
electro-magnetic interference to
telecommunication systems from power systems has
been consolidated by - New Recs. K.54 and K.68
-
- Revision of Volume V and VI of the Directives
Protection of telecommunication lines against
harmful effects from electric power and
electrified railway lines
5Highlights of achievements (II)
- SG 5s leadership on the standardization of
equipment resistibility has been consolidated by
- Revision of Recs. K.20, K.21, K.44 and K.45
- as well on lightning protection of
telecommunication systems by - New Recs. K.67, K.71 and K.72
- Revision of Recs. K.46 and K.47
6Highlights of achievements (III)
- In the field of human exposure to electromagnetic
fields (EMFs) - New Rec. K.70, together with associated EMF
estimator software, gives guidance on mitigation
methods for reducing the radiation level from
radio-communication installations in order to
comply with exposure limits -
- Recs. K.52 and K.61 on EMFs calculation and
measurement methods have been revised
7Highlights of achievements (IV)
- In the Home Network field
- The new Rec. K.74 provides EMC, Resistibility
and Safety requirements for home network devices
that mainly have the function of
telecommunication - In the new Rec. K.75, Manufacturers, Network
Operators and Test Houses can find classification
of telecommunication equipment interfaces for the
application of standards on resistibility and
safety
8Highlights of achievements (V)
- Protective Components characteristics are given
in the new Recs. K.65 and K.69 and revision of
Recs. K.12 and K.30 - The new Recs. K.66 and K.73 are in the field of
Earthing and Bonding, whereas the new Rec. K.76
and the revision of the Rec. K.48 are in the EMC
field - The deployment of broadband services has
increased the risk of interference of wire-line
telecommunication networks with radio services.
The revision of Rec. K.60 deals with the
management of this risk
9Future Work (I)
- Continuation of Questions dealing with
- Home Network
- Security of telecommunication and information
systems regarding electromagnetic environment - EMC requirements for Information Society
- Interference on telecommunication systems from
power systems - Resistibility and Safety requirements
10Future Work (II)
- Continuation of Questions dealing with
- Lightning protection of telecommunication
installations - Human Exposure to Electromagnetic fields from
telecommunication installations - Earthing and Bonding techniques
- EMC requirements for telecommunication equipment

- Mr Roberto Pomponi earned a degree in Electrical
Engineering from the Polytechnic of Turin (Italy)
in 1972 and in the same year he joined TILAB
(formerly CSELT, Centro Studi e Laboratori
Telecomunicazioni in Turin, Italy), where he has
carried out activities on protection of
telecommunication installations against
lightning, electromagnetic interference and
safety. - He has been professor of EMC seminars at the
Polytechnic of Turin, University of Ancona and at
High School of the Telecom Italia Group. - He is Chairman of the some Italian Technical or
Sub-Technical Committees and is Chairman of ITU-T
