Extension of Testing Capabilities for EN 50561-1

09. April 2026

We have recognized a growing demand for testing wired communication technologies operating over power lines in low-voltage electrical installations (PLC – Power Line Communication).

To address this need, we have acquired a new PLC Measurement System, enabling us to fully cover all conducted emission requirements defined by EN 50561-1.

The EN 50561-1 standard specifies limits, measurement methods, and operational requirements for in-home power line communication equipment operating in the frequency range from 1.6 MHz to 30 MHz, including the following:

  • Strict limits for conducted disturbances to protect the radio spectrum from interference
  • Requirements for dynamic power control (DPC) to minimize emissions
  • Mandatory notching functionality to avoid interference with radio services
  • Defined measurement setups and procedures for reproducible and compliant testing.

With our upgraded capabilities, we can ensure accurate full compliance testing in accordance with the latest requirements of EN 50561-1.

For further information about our EN 50561-1 testing services or to discuss your specific compliance needs, please do not hesitate to contact us.
