Progress in the Work of CISPR

This review paper on the Comité International Spécial des Perturbations Radioélectriques (International Special Committee on Radio Interference) presents objectives ("to promote international agreement on many aspects of radio interference . . ."), member organizations, and structure. There are three subcommittees (on limits, on methods of measurement, and on safety) which meet in plenary assembly every three years. Inputs to these subcommittees are furnished by ten working groups that meet, usually yearly, to discuss specific study questions which may lead to a report. In many cases they lead to recommendations; member national committees of the International Electrotechnical Committee then may ask their governments to approve pertinent legislation.
