CISPR's work involves equipment and methods for measuring interference, establishing limits and immunity requirements, and prescribing (in liaison with other IEC technical committees) methods of measuring immunity. The committee also takes account of the impact of safety regulations on interference suppression of electrical equipment.

CISPR is composed of six technical and one management subcommittees, each responsible for a different area, defined as:

• AA - Radio-interference measurements and statistical methods
• B - Interference relating to industrial, scientific and medical radio-frequency apparatus, to other (heavy) industrial equipment, to overhead power lines, to high voltage equipment and to electric traction
• D - Electromagnetic disturbances related to electric/electronic equipment on vehicles and internal combustion engine powered devices
• F - Interference relating to household appliances tools, lighting equipment and similar apparatus
• H - Limits for the protection of radio frequencies
• I - Electromagnetic compatibility of information technology equipment, multimedia equipment and receivers
• S - Steering Committee
