1. SCOPE
This Directive applies to the electromagnetic compatibility of vehicles covered in Article 1, being vehicles or trailers (hereinafter referred to as vehicles) as supplied by the vehicle manufacturer and to components or separate technical units intended to be fitted in vehicles.
It covers:
— requirements regarding the immunity to radiated and conducted disturbances for functions related to direct control of the vehicle, related to driver, passenger and other road users' protection and related to disturbances, which would cause confusion to the driver or other road users,
— requirements regarding the control of unwanted radiated and conducted emissions to protect the intended use of electrical or electronic equipment at own or adjacent vehicles or nearby, and the control of disturbances from accessories that may be retrofitted to the vehicle.
2. DEFINITIONS
2.1. |
For the purposes of this Directive: 2.1.1. ‘Electromagnetic compatibility’ means the ability of a vehicle or component(s) or separate technical unit(s) to function satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without introducing intolerable electromagnetic disturbances to anything in that environment. 2.1.2. ‘Electromagnetic disturbance’ means any electromagnetic phenomenon which may degrade the performance of a vehicle or component(s) or separate technical unit(s), or of any other device, unit of equipment or system operated in vicinity of a vehicle. An electromagnetic disturbance may be electromagnetic noise, an unwanted signal or a change in the propagation medium itself. 2.1.3. ‘Electromagnetic immunity’ means the ability of a vehicle or component(s) or separate technical unit(s) to operate without degradation of performance in the presence of (specified) electromagnetic disturbances which includes wanted radio frequency signals from radio transmitters or radiated in-band emissions of industrial-scientific-medical (ISM) apparatus, internal or external to the vehicle. 2.1.4. ‘Electromagnetic environment’ means the totality of electromagnetic phenomena existing at a given location. 2.1.5. ‘Broadband emission’ means an emission, which has a bandwidth greater than that of a particular measuring apparatus or receiver (International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) 25, 2nd edition). 2.1.6. ‘Narrowband emission’ means an emission which has a bandwidth less than that of a particular measuring apparatus or receiver (CISPR 25, 2nd edition). 2.1.7. ‘Electrical/electronic system’ means (an) electrical and/or electronic device(s) or set(s) of devices together with any associated electrical connections which form part of a vehicle but which are not intended to be type-approved separately from the vehicle. 2.1.8. ‘Electrical/electronic subassembly’ (ESA) means an electrical and/or electronic device or set(s) of devices intended to be part of a vehicle, together with any associated electrical connections and wiring, which performs one or more specialised functions. An ESA may be approved at the request of a manufacturer or his authorised representative as either a ‘component’ or a ‘separate technical unit (STU)’ (see Directive 70/156/EEC, Article 2). 2.1.9. ‘Vehicle type’ in relation to electromagnetic compatibility means vehicles which do not differ essentially in such respects as: 2.1.9.1. the overall size and shape of the engine compartment; 2.1.9.2. the general arrangement of the electrical and/or electronic components and the general wiring arrangement; 2.1.9.3. the primary material of which the body or shell (if applicable) of the vehicle is constructed (for example, a steel, aluminium or fibreglass body shell). The presence of panels of different material does not change the vehicle type provided the primary material of the body is unchanged. However, such variations must be notified. 2.1.10. An ‘ESA type’ in relation to electromagnetic compatibility means ESAs which do not differ in such essential respects as: 2.1.10.1. the function performed by the ESA; 2.1.10.2. the general arrangement of the electrical and/or electronic components, if applicable. 2.1.11. ‘Vehicle wiring harness’ means supply voltage, bus system (e.g. CAN), signal or active antenna cables, which are installed by the vehicle manufacturer. 2.1.12. Immunity-related functions are: (a) functions related to the direct control of the vehicle: — ►M5 by degradation or change in: e.g. engine, gear, brake, suspension, active steering, speed limitation devices ◄ — by affecting driver’s position, e.g. seat or steering wheel positioning, — by affecting driver’s visibility: e.g. dipped beam, windscreen wiper; (b) functions related to driver, passenger and other road-user protection: — e.g. airbag and safety restraint systems; (c) functions which, when disturbed, cause confusion to the driver or other road users: — optical disturbances: incorrect operation of e.g. direction indicators, stop lamps, end outline marker lamps, rear position lamp, light bars for emergency system, wrong information from warning indicators, lamps or displays related to functions in clauses (a) or (b) which might be observed in the direct view of the driver, — acoustical disturbances: incorrect operation of anti-theft alarm, horn, for example; (d) functions related to vehicle data bus functionality: — by blocking data transmission on vehicle data bus-systems, which are used to transmit data, required to ensure the correct functioning of other immunity-related functions; (e) functions which, when disturbed, affect vehicle statutory data: e.g. tachograph, odometer. 2.1.13. ‘24 GHz short-range radar equipment’ means a radar as defined in Article 2(2) of Commission Decision 2005/50/EC ( 5 ), and satisfying the performance requirements of Article 4 of that Decision. ▼M6 ————— |

7. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION
7.1. |
Measures to ensure the conformity of production shall be taken in accordance with the provisions laid down in Article 10 of Directive 70/156/EEC. |
7.2. |
Conformity of production with regard to the electromagnetic compatibility of the vehicle or component of separate technical unit shall be checked on the basis of the data contained in the type-approval certificate(s) set out in Annex III A and/or B of this Directive as appropriate. |
7.3. |
If the authority is not satisfied with the auditing procedure of the manufacturer, then items 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 of Annex X to Directive 70/156/EEC and paragraphs 7.3.1 and 7.3.2 below shall apply.
|
8. EXCEPTIONS
8.1. |
Where a vehicle or electrical/electronic system or ESA does not include an electronic oscillator with an operating frequency greater than 9 kHz, it shall be deemed to comply with paragraph 6.3.2 or 6.6.2 of Annex I and with Annexes V and VIII. |
8.2. |
Vehicles which do not have electrical/electronic systems with ‘immunity-related functions’ need not be tested for immunity to radiated disturbances and shall be deemed to comply with paragraph 6.4 of Annex I and with Annex VI to this Directive. |
8.3. |
ESAs with no immunity-related functions need not be tested for immunity to radiated disturbances and shall be deemed to comply with paragraph 6.7 of Annex I and with Annex IX to this Directive. |
8.4. |
Electrostatic discharge For vehicles fitted with tyres, the vehicle body/chassis can be considered to be an electrically isolated structure. Significant electrostatic forces in relation to the vehicle's external environment only occur at the moment of occupant entry into or exit from the vehicle. As the vehicle is stationary at these moments, no type-approval test for electrostatic discharge is deemed necessary. |
8.5. |
Conducted emission ESAs that are not switched, contain no switches or do not include inductive loads need not be tested for conducted emission and shall be deemed to comply with paragraph 6.9 of this Annex. |
8.6. |
The loss of function of receivers during the immunity test, when the test signal is within the receiver bandwidth (RF exclusion band) as specified for the specific radio service/product in the harmonised EMC standard and whose reference is published in the Official Journal of the European Union, does not necessarily lead to a fail criteria. |
8.7. |
RF transmitters shall be tested in the transmit mode. Wanted emissions (e.g. from RF transmitting systems) within the necessary bandwidth and out of band emissions are disregarded for the purpose of this Directive. Spurious emissions are subject to this Directive but need not be tested if the transmitter has a Declaration of Conformity according to Directive 1999/5/EC using a harmonised standard. 8.7.1. ‘Necessary bandwidth’: for a given class of emission, the width of the frequency band which is just sufficient to ensure the transmission of information at the rate and with the quality required under specified conditions (Article 1, No 1152 of the radio regulations). 8.7.2. ‘Out-of-band emissions’: emission on a frequency or frequencies immediately outside the necessary bandwidth which results from the modulation process, but excluding spurious emissions (Article 1, No 1144 of the radio regulations). 8.7.3. ‘Spurious emission’: in every modulation process additional undesired signals exist. They are summarised under the expression ‘spurious emissions’. Spurious emissions are emissions on a frequency or frequencies which are outside the necessary bandwidth and the level of which may be reduced without affecting the corresponding transmission of information. Spurious emissions include harmonic emissions, parasitic emissions, intermodulation products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out-of-band emissions (Article 1 No 1145 of the radio regulations). |

ANNEX IV
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT OF RADIATED BROADBAND ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS FROM VEHICLES
1. General
1.1. |
The test method described in this Annex shall only be applied to vehicles. |
1.2. |
Test method This test is intended to measure the broadband emissions generated by electrical or electronic systems fitted to the vehicle (e.g. ignition system or electric motors). If not otherwise stated in this Annex the test shall be performed according to CISPR 12 (5th edition 2001). |
2. Vehicle state during tests
2.1. Engine
The engine shall be in operation according to CISPR 12 (5th edition 2001) clause 5.3.2.
2.2. Other vehicle systems
All equipment capable of generating broadband emissions which can be switched on permanently by the driver or passenger should be in operation in maximum load, e.g. wiper motors or fans. The horn and electric window motors, etc., are excluded because they are not used continuously.
3. Test requirements
3.1. |
The limits apply throughout the frequency range 30 to 1 000 MHz for measurements performed in a semi anechoic chamber or an outdoor test site. |
3.2. |
Measurements can be performed with either quasi-peak or peak detectors. The limits given in Annex I, paragraphs 6.2 and 6.5 are for quasi-peak detectors. If peak detectors are used a correction factor of 20 dB as defined in CISPR 12 (5th edition 2001) shall be applied. |
3.3. |
Measurements The technical service shall perform the test at the intervals specified in the CISPR 12 (5th edition 2001) standard throughout the frequency range 30 to 1 000 MHz. Alternatively, if the manufacturer provides measurement data for the whole frequency band from a test laboratory accredited to the applicable parts of ISO 17025 (1st edition 1999) and recognised by the Approval Authority, the technical service may divide the frequency range in 14 frequency bands 30-34, 34-45, 45-60, 60-80, 80-100, 100-130, 130-170, 170-225, 225-300, 300-400, 400-525, 525-700, 700-850, 850-1 000 MHz and perform tests at the 14 frequencies giving the highest emission levels within each band to confirm that the vehicle meets the requirements of this Annex. In the event that the limit is exceeded during the test, investigations shall be made to ensure that this is due to the vehicle and not to background radiation. |
3.4. |
Readings The maximum of the readings relative to the limit (horizontal and vertical polarisation and antenna location on the left and right-hand sides of the vehicle) in each of the 14 frequency bands shall be taken as the characteristic reading at the frequency at which the measurements were made. |
ANNEX V
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT OF RADIATED NARROWBAND ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS FROM VEHICLES
1. General
1.1. |
The test method described in this Annex shall only be applied to vehicles. |
1.2. |
Test method This test is intended to measure the narrowband electromagnetic emissions such as might emanate from microprocessor-based systems or other narrowband source. If not otherwise stated in this Annex the test shall be performed according to CISPR 12 (5th edition 2001) or to CISPR 25 (2nd edition 2002). |
1.3 |
As an initial step the levels of emissions in the FM frequency band (76 o 108 MHz) shall be measured at the vehicle broadcast radio antenna with an average detector. If the level specified in paragraph 6.3.2.4 of Annex I is not exceeded, then the vehicle shall be deemed to comply with the requirements of this Annex in respect of that frequency band and the full test shall not be carried out. |
2. Vehicle state during tests
2.1. |
The ignition switch shall be switched on. The engine shall not be operating. |
2.2. |
The vehicle's electronic systems shall all be in normal operating mode with the vehicle stationary. |
2.3. |
All equipment which can be switched on permanently by the driver or passenger with internal oscillators > 9 kHz or repetitive signals should be in normal operation. |
3. Test requirements
3.1. |
The limits apply throughout the frequency range 30 to 1 000 MHz for measurements performed in a semi anechoic chamber or an outdoor test site. |
3.2. |
Measurements shall be performed with an average detector. |
3.3. |
Measurements The technical service shall perform the test at the intervals specified in the CISPR 12 (5th edition 2001) standard throughout the frequency range 30 to 1 000 MHz. Alternatively, if the manufacturer provides measurement data for the whole frequency band from a test laboratory accredited to the applicable parts of ISO 17025 (1st edition 1999) and recognised by the Approval Authority, the technical service may divide the frequency range in 14 frequency bands 30-34, 34-45, 45-60, 60-80, 80-100, 100-130, 130-170, 170-225, 225-300, 300-400, 400-525, 525-700, 700-850, 850-1 000 MHz and perform tests at the 14 frequencies giving the highest emission levels within each band to confirm that the vehicle meets the requirements of this Annex. In the event that the limit is exceeded during the test, investigations shall be made to ensure that this is due to the vehicle and not to background radiation including broadband radiation from any ESA. |
3.4. |
Readings The maximum of the readings relative to the limit (horizontal and vertical polarisation and antenna location on the left and right-hand sides of the vehicle) in each of the 14 frequency bands shall be taken as the characteristic reading at the frequency at which the measurements were made. |
ANNEX VI
METHOD OF TESTING FOR IMMUNITY OF VEHICLES TO ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
1. General
1.1. |
The test method described in this Annex shall only be applied to vehicles. |
1.2. |
Test method This test is intended to demonstrate the immunity of the vehicle electronic systems. The vehicle shall be subject to electromagnetic fields as described in this Annex. The vehicle shall be monitored during the tests. If not otherwise stated in this Annex, the test shall be performed according to ►M5 ISO 11451-2: 3rd edition 2005 ◄ . |
1.3. |
Alternative test methods The test may be alternatively performed in an outdoor test site for all vehicles. The test facility shall comply with (national) legal requirements regarding the emission of electromagnetic fields. If a vehicle is longer than 12 m and/or wider than 2,60 m and/or higher than 4,00 m, the BCI method according to ISO 11451-4 (1st edition 1995) can be used in the frequency range 20-2 000 MHz with levels defined in Annex I, paragraph 6.7.2.1. |
2. Vehicle state during tests
2.1. The vehicle shall be in an unladen condition except for necessary test equipment.
2.1.1. |
The engine shall normally turn the driving wheels at a steady speed of 50 km/h if there is no technical reason due to the vehicle to define a different condition. The vehicle shall be on an appropriately loaded dynamometer or alternatively supported on insulated axle stands with minimum ground clearance if no dynamometer is available. Where appropriate, transmission shafts may be disconnected (e.g. trucks). |
2.1.2. |
Basic vehicle conditions The paragraph defines minimum test conditions and failures criteria for vehicle immunity tests. Other vehicle systems, which can affect immunity-related functions must be tested in a way to be agreed between manufacturer and technical service.
|
2.1.3. |
All equipment which can be switched on permanently by the driver or passenger should be in normal operation. |
2.1.4. |
All other systems which affect the driver’s control of the vehicle shall be (on) as in normal operation of the vehicle. |
2.2. |
If there are vehicle electrical/electronic systems which form an integral part of the direct control of the vehicle, which will not operate under the conditions described in paragraph 4.1, it will be permissible for the manufacturer to provide a report or additional evidence to the testing authority that the vehicle electrical/electronic system meets the requirements of this Directive. Such evidence shall be retained in the type-approval documentation. |
2.3. |
Only non-perturbing equipment shall be used while monitoring the vehicle. The vehicle exterior and the passenger compartment shall be monitored to determine whether the requirements of this Annex are met (e.g. by using (a) video camera(s), a microphone, etc.). |
3. Test requirements
3.1. Frequency range, dwell times, polarisation
The vehicle shall be exposed to electromagnetic radiation in the 20 to 2 000 MHz frequency ranges in vertical polarisation.
The test signal modulation shall be:
— AM, with 1 kHz modulation and 80 % modulation depth in the 20-800 MHz frequency range, and
— PM, t on 577 μs, period 4 600 μs in the 800-2 000 MHz frequency range,
if not otherwise agreed between technical service and vehicle manufacturer.
Frequency step size and dwell time shall be chosen according to ►M5 ISO 11451-1: 3rd edition 2005 ◄ .
3.1.1. |
The technical service shall perform the test at the intervals specified in ►M5 ISO 11451-1: 3rd edition 2005 ◄ throughout the frequency range 20 to 2 000 MHz. Alternatively, if the manufacturer provides measurement to data for the whole frequency band from a test laboratory accredited to the applicable parts of ISO 17025 (1st edition 1999) and recognised by the Approval Authority, the technical service may choose a reduced number of spot frequencies in the range, e.g. 27, 45, 65, 90, 120, 150, 190, 230, 280, 380, 450, 600, 750, 900, 1 300, and 1 800 MHz to confirm that the vehicle meets the requirements of this Annex. If a vehicle fails the test defined in this Annex, it must be verified as having failed under the relevant test conditions and not as a result of the generation of uncontrolled fields. |
4. Generation of required field strength
4.1. Test methodology
4.1.1. |
The substitution method according to ►M5 ISO 11451-1: 3rd edition 2005 ◄ shall be used to establish the test field conditions. |
4.1.2. |
Calibration For transmission-line-systems (TLS) one field probe at the facility reference point shall be used. For antennae, four field probes at the facility reference line shall be used. |
4.1.3. |
Test phase The vehicle shall be positioned with the centre line of the vehicle on the facility reference point or line. The vehicle shall normally face a fixed antenna. However, where the electronic control units and the associated wiring harness are predominantly in the rear of the vehicle, the test should normally be carried out with the vehicle facing away from the antenna. In the case of long vehicles (i.e. excluding cars and light vans), which have electronic control units and associated wiring harness predominantly towards the middle of the vehicle, a reference point may be established based on either the right-side surface or the left-side surface of the vehicle. This reference point shall be at the midpoint of the vehicle’s length or at one point along the side of the vehicle chosen by the manufacturer in conjunction with the competent authority after considering the distribution of electronic systems and the layout of any wiring harness. Such testing may only take place if the physical construction of the chamber permits. The antenna location must be noted in the test report. |

1. General
1.1. |
The test method described in this Annex may be applied to ESAs, which may be subsequently fitted to vehicles, which comply with Annex IV. |
1.2. |
Test method This test is intended to measure broadband electromagnetic emissions from ESAs (e.g. ignition systems, electric motor, etc.). If not otherwise stated in this Annex the test shall be performed according to CISPR 25 (2nd edition, 2002). |
2. ESA state during tests
2.1. |
The ESA under test shall be in normal operation mode, preferably in maximum load. |
3. Test arrangements
3.1. |
The test shall be performed according to CISPR 25 (2nd edition 2002) clause 6.4 — ALSE method. |
3.2. |
Alternative measuring location As an alternative to an absorber-lined shielded enclosure (ALSE) an open-area test site (OATS), which complies with the requirements of CISPR 16-1 (2nd edition 2002) may be used (see Appendix 1 to this Annex). |
3.3. |
Ambient To ensure that there is no extraneous noise or signal of a magnitude sufficient to affect materially the measurement, measurements shall be taken before or after the main test. In this measurement, the extraneous noise or signal shall be at least 6 dB below the limits of interference given in paragraph 6.5.2.1 of Annex I, except for intentional narrowband ambient transmissions. |
4. Test requirements
4.1. |
The limits apply throughout the frequency range 30 to 1 000 MHz for measurements performed in a semi anechoic chamber or an outdoor test site. |
4.2. |
Measurements can be performed with either quasi-peak or peak detectors. The limits given in Annex I, paragraphs 6.2 and 6.5 are for quasi-peak detectors. If peak detectors are used a correction factor of 20 dB as defined in CISPR 12 (5th edition 2001) shall be applied. |
4.3. |
Measurements The technical service shall perform the test at the intervals specified in the CISPR 25 (2nd edition 2002) standard throughout the frequency range 30 to 1 000 MHz. Alternatively, if the manufacturer provides measurement to data for the whole frequency band from a test laboratory accredited to the applicable parts of ISO 17025 (1st edition 1999) and recognised by the Approval Authority, the technical service may divide the frequency range in 13 frequency bands 30–50, 50-75, 75-100, 100-130, 130-165, 165-200, 200-250, 250-320, 320-400, 400-520, 520-660, 660-820, 820-1 000 MHz and perform tests at the 13 frequencies giving the highest emission levels within each band to confirm that the ESA meets the requirements of this Annex. In the event that the limit is exceeded during the test, investigations shall be made to ensure that this is due to the ESA and not to background radiation. |
4.4. |
Readings The maximum of the readings relative to the limit (horizontal/vertical polarisation) in each of the 13 frequency bands shall be taken as the characteristic reading at the frequency at which the measurements were made. |

3.2. |
The technical service shall perform the test at the intervals specified in ISO 11452-1: 3rd edition 2005 throughout the frequency range 20 to 2 000 MHz. Alternatively, if the manufacturer provides measurement to data for the whole frequency band from a test laboratory accredited to the applicable parts of ISO 17025: 1st edition 1999 and recognised by the Approval Authority, the Technical Service may choose a reduced number of spot frequencies in the range, e.g. 27, 45, 65, 90, 120, 150, 190, 230, 280, 380, 450, 600, 750, 900, 1 300, and 1 800 MHz to confirm that the ESA meets the requirements of this Annex. |
3.3. |
If an ESA fails the tests defined in this Annex, it must be verified as having failed under the relevant test conditions and not as a result of the generation of uncontrolled fields. |
4. Specific test requirements
4.1. Absorber chamber test
4.1.1. Test method
This test method allows the testing of vehicle electrical/electronic systems by exposing an ESA to electromagnetic radiation generated by an antenna.
4.1.2. Test methodology
The ‘substitution method’ shall be used to establish the test field conditions according to ISO 11452-2: 2nd edition 2004.
The test shall be performed with vertical polarisation.
4.2. TEM cell testing
4.2.1. Test method
The TEM (transverse electromagnetic mode) cell generates homogeneous fields between the internal conductor (septum) and housing (ground plane).
4.2.2. Test methodology
The test shall be performed according to ISO 11452-3: 2nd edition 2001.
Depending on the ESA to be tested the technical service shall choose the method of maximum field coupling to the ESA or to the wiring harness inside the TEM-cell.
4.3. Bulk current injection testing
4.3.1. Test method
This is a method of carrying out immunity tests by inducing currents directly into a wiring harness using a current injection probe.
4.3.2. Test methodology
The test shall be performed according to ISO 11452-4: 3rd edition 2005 on a test bench.
As an alternative the ESA may be tested while installed in the vehicle according to ISO 11451-4: 1st edition 1995.
— The injection probe shall be positioned at a distance of 150 mm from the ESA to be tested.
— The reference method shall be used to calculate injected currents from forward power.
— The frequency range of the method is limited by the injection probe specification.
4.4. Stripline testing
4.4.1. Test method
This test method consists of subjecting the wiring harness connecting the components in an ESA to specified field strengths.
4.4.2. Test methodology
The test shall be performed according to ISO 11452-5 (2nd edition 2002).
4.5. 800 mm stripline testing
4.5.1. Test method
The stripline consists of two parallel metallic plates separated by 800 mm. Equipment under test is positioned centrally between the plates and subjected to an electromagnetic field (see Appendix 1 to this Annex).
This method can test complete electronic systems including sensors and actuators as well as the controller and wiring loom. It is suitable for apparatus whose largest dimension is less than one third of the plate separation.
4.5.2. Test methodology
4.5.2.1. Positioning of stripline
The stripline shall be housed in a screened room (to prevent external emissions) and positioned 2 m away from walls and any metallic enclosure to prevent electromagnetic reflections. RF absorber material may be used to damp these reflections. The stripline shall be placed on non-conducting supports at least 0,4 m above the floor.
4.5.2.2. Calibration of the stripline
A field-measuring probe shall be positioned within the central one third of the longitudinal, vertical and transverse dimensions of the space between the parallel plates with the system under test absent.
The associated measuring equipment shall be sited outside the screen room. At each desired test frequency, a level of power shall be fed into the stripline to produce the required field strength at the antenna. This level of forward power, or another parameter directly related to the forward power required to define the field, shall be used for type-approval tests unless changes occur in the facilities or equipment, which necessitate this procedure being repeated.
4.5.2.3. Installation of the ESA under test
The main control unit shall be positioned within the central one third of the longitudinal, vertical and transverse dimensions of the space between the parallel plates. It shall be supported on a stand made from non-conducting material.
4.5.2.4. Main wiring loom and sensor/actuator cables
The main wiring loom and any sensor/actuator cables shall rise vertically from the control unit to the top ground plate (this helps to maximise coupling with the electromagnetic field). Then they shall follow the underside of the plate to one of its free edges where they shall loop over and follow the top of the ground plate as far as the connections to the stripline feed. The cables shall then be routed to the associated equipment, which shall be sited in an area outside the influence of the electromagnetic field, e.g. on the floor of the screened room 1 m longitudinally away from the stripline.
