In this transition to the fourth edition, it should be noted, that an interference immunity of up to 2.5 GHz is required in the third edition whereas in the fourth edition, an interference immunity of up to 2.7 GHz is necessary. In addition, tests with respect to irradiation in mobile radio bands up to 6 GHz and with levels of max. 28 V/m have to be performed.
