Recently, Suzhou 3CTEST Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (3CTEST), in collaboration with Suzhou Angui Electromagnetic Technology Co., Ltd. and other organizations, published a technical article titled "Analysis of New Calibration Requirements for Electrostatic Discharge Generators and Underlying Reasons" in the journal Safety & EMC, Issue 1, 2026. The article delves into the calibration technology changes for electrostatic discharge generators introduced in the IEC 61000-4-2:2025 standard and their impact on the industry.
About Safety & EMC Journal
Safety & EMC is China's professional journal dedicated to the study of electronic product safety and electromagnetic compatibility. Founded in 1989, it is an international academic journal supervised by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China and sponsored by the China Electronic Standardization Institute.
The journal is published bimonthly and features columns such as EMI Suppression Technology, Monographic Studies, EMC Forum, Testing & Measurement, EMC Classroom, Mobile Communications & Electromagnetic Radiation, and Standards & Applications.

At Industry Forefront, Research Together
Co-authored by industry experts Wang Yujing, Liu Yi, Hu Xiaojun, Yang Guobing, and Zhang Ge, the article systematically compares the key differences between IEC 61000-4-2:2025 and the previous version (IEC 61000-4-2:2008) in terms of current waveform measurement, discharge electrode requirements, calibration setup, and calibration parameters. It also analyzes the technical rationale and practical significance of the new requirements using real test cases.
