Information Technology Equipment (ITE)

This product family is now included in the MME product family

Information technology equipment is a family of products which includes devices that have a main function related to collecting, transferring, storing or processing of data. Generally ITE equipment is low voltage in nature (below 600V rated supply), and mostly generate a multiplicity of periodic pulsed electrical wave forms.

With respect to the European EMC Directive, the product family standards EN (European Norm) 55022: for Emissions and EN 55024: for Immunity address Information Technology Equipment. These product family standards are for; “any equipment which has a primary function of either or a combination of, entry, storage, display, retrieval, transmission, processing, switching or control, of data and of telecommunication messages and which may be equipped with one or more terminal ports typically operated for information transfer” as defined in EN 55022 Section 3.1. Examples of ITE may be any of or similar to examples such as;

  • Telecommunications Equipment
  • Keyboards
  • Drives
  • Computers
  • Printers
  • Monitors
  • Servers
  • Network HUBs

The applicable versions are listed on the EMC Directive list of harmonized standards published on the European Commission web site. See our European Directives section for links.
