This Recommendation specifies the general requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for information perception equipment (IPE) used in the perception layer of Internet of things (IoT) network, taking into account combinations of devices to form schemes of an information perception system including control, monitoring, communication and process interface equipment.

In most cases, a typical IPE includes different parts such as sensor and communication parts, and it has the mandatory capabilities of communication and optional capabilities of sensing, actuation, data capture, data storage and data processing. The EMC measurement methods and performance criteria should consider the specific of these various devices, e.g., sensor part or telecommunication part, respectively.
