5 Measurement Conditions and Test Arrangement
5.1 Measurement Conditions
5.1.1 Overview
The engineering and medical robots shall be correctly installed (electrical installation
and mechanical installation) and thoroughly operated in accordance with the typical
operating condition specified by the manufacturer. The engineering and medical robots
shall be measured in a “typical configuration” condition. If the manufacturer requires
external filtering and / or shielding devices or has specified measures in accordance
with the user manual, then, the measurement in this Standard shall be performed with
the corresponding specified devices and measures; the specific devices and measures
shall be elaborated in the report. If special measures shall be taken in order to comply
with the requirements of the Standard, for example, the use of shielded cables or
special cables, then, relevant information shall be provided in the accompanying
documents; the adopted measures shall be described in the report.
The configuration and working status of the engineering and medical robots shall be
recorded in the inspection report. If the engineering and medical robots have many
similar ports, or some ports have many similar connections, then, a sufficient number
of ports and connections shall be selected to simulate the actual working condition, so
as to ensure that all different types of terminals are covered.
If the engineering and medical robots are a part of the system, or can be connected to
auxiliary equipment, then, during the test, the engineering and medical robots shall be
connected to a sufficient number of representative auxiliary equipment to be used at
the port.
5.1.2 Ambient noise
The test site for type test shall be able to distinguish the emission of the engineering
and medical robots from the ambient noise. The environmental applicability can be
determined by measuring the ambient noise level when the engineering and medical
robots are not working. It is necessary to ensure that the ambient noise level is at least
6 dB lower than the limit specified in Chapter 6 to facilitate the measurement. For more
information regarding compliance test in the presence of ambient noise, see 6.2.2 of
GB/T 6113.201-2018 and 6.2.2 of GB/T 6113.203-2016.
If the ambient noise level plus the emission of the engineering and medical robots, still
does not exceed the specified limit, there is no need to reduce the ambient noise level
to below 6 dB of the specified limit. Under this circumstance, it can be deemed that the
engineering and medical robots have satisfied the specified limit.
5.1.3 Description of test operation mode
In accordance with the installation mode, the engineering and medical robots can be
divided into stationary-type engineering and medical robots and mobile-type
engineering and medical robots. The description of the corresponding test operation
modes is as follows:
a) Stationary-type engineering and medical robots
5.2.2.1.2 Arrangement of desktop engineering and medical robots
In order to measure the conducted disturbance, the engineering and medical robots
shall be connected to the power supply and any other extended networks (generally,
the V-shaped artificial power network is used for the power port, see Figure 2) through
one or multiple artificial networks in accordance with the following requirements.
Whether they are grounded or not, the desktop engineering and medical robots shall
be placed in accordance with the following stipulations:
a) The bottom or back of the engineering and medical robots shall be placed at
a controllable distance of 40 cm from the reference ground plane. This ground
plane is usually a certain wall or floor of a shielded room, and it can also be a
ground metal plate with a size of at least 2 m  2 m. The actual arrangement
can be achieved through the following methods:
1) The engineering and medical robots are placed on an insulating material
test bench that is at least 80 cm high, and it is 40 cm away from any wall
of the shielded room; or
2) The engineering and medical robots are placed on an insulating material
test bench that is 40 cm high, so that the bottom is 40 cm higher than the
ground plane.
b) The distance between all other conductive planes of the engineering and
medical robots and the reference ground plate shall be greater than 40 cm.
c) The cable connection of the engineering and medical robots is shown in
Figure 2.
d) As it is shown in Figure 2, those artificial power networks are connected to the
ground plane in a mode that the distance from one side of the artificial network
enclosure to the vertical reference ground plane and other metal parts is 40
cm. The V-shaped artificial power supply network and Y-shaped impedance
stabilization network are shown in Figure 2.

5.2.2.2 Arrangement of radiated disturbance measurement
5.2.2.2.1 Arrangement of desktop engineering and medical robots
The engineering and medical robots used as desktop equipment shall be placed on a
non-metallic bench. The height of the bench is 0.8 m; the size is usually 1.5 m  1.0 m;
but the actual size depends on the horizontal size of the engineering and medical
robots.
The engineering and medical robots (including the robots, and peripheral and auxiliary
equipment or devices connected to the robots) shall be arranged in accordance with
the normal service condition. The cables between the units shall droop from the back
edge of the test bench. If the distance between the drooped cable and the horizontal
ground plate is less than 0.4 m, then, the extra-long part of the cable shall be
respectively bundled into S-shape with a line segment of 30 cm ~ 40 cm near its center,
so that it is at least 0.4 m above the horizontal reference ground plate. The placement
of the cable shall be arranged in accordance with the normal service condition. If the
length of the main input cable is less than 0.8 m (including the power circuit in the main
plug cord), the main input cable shall be lengthened, so that the external power supply
components can also be placed on the test bench. The lengthened cable shall have
the same characteristics (including the number of conductors and the grounding
condition) as the main input cable and be considered as a part of the main cable. In
the above situation, the cable arrangement between the engineering and medical robot
and the auxiliary electrical equipment shall be the same as the cable arrangement
between the robots.
If the cables are so thick or rigid that it is difficult to handle them in accordance with the
above-mentioned requirements, then, they may be arranged in accordance with the
actual situation, but they cannot be coiled; this situation shall be described in the test
report.
Figure 5 is an example of a typical arrangement of radiated disturbance measurement
of desktop engineering and medical robots. The measurement arrangement shall be
representative of the normal actual installation and application and placed in the center
of the vertical axis of the turntable.
For the radiated disturbance measurement at a distance of 3 m in the OATS or SAC,
the radiation evaluation of the e...
