Environmental testing requirements are defined for communications networking devices to be installed in transmission and distribution facilities. This standard establishes a common reproducible basis for designing and evaluating devices utilizing radio frequency (RF) up to 6 GHz, power line communications, and broadband over power line (BPL) technologies. It also requires immunity to five IEC electromagnetic compatibility standards for which there are no IEEE equivalent standards. This standard is an extension to IEEE Std 1613(tm)-2009 and IEEE Std 1613a(tm)-2011.

IEEE Draft Standard for Environmental and Testing Requirements for Devices with Communications Functions used with Electric Power Apparatus
Service conditions, electrical ratings, thermal ratings, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and environmental testing requirements are defined in this standard based upon IEEE standards and five International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) EMC standards (for which there are no equivalent IEEE standards), to represent the harsh environment of electric power apparatus installations. This develops a common and reproducible basis for designing and testing devices with communications functions installed in this harsh environment. Devices that support communications functions use communications ports.
