REQUIREMENTS TO BE MET BY VEHICLES AND ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONICSUB-ASSEMBLIESFITTEDTOAVEHICLE
1.Scope
1.1. ►M4ThisDirective appliesto the electromagnetic compatibility of
vehiclescovered by Article 1. It als o appliesto electrical or electronic
separate technical units intended to be fitted to the vehicles. ◄
2.Definitions
2.1. For the purposes of this Directive:
2.1.1. ‘Electromagnetic compatibility’ meansthe ability of a vehicle or
component(s) or separate technical unit(s) to function satisfactorily in
itselectromagnetic environment without introducing intolerable elec-
tromagnetic 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). An electromagnetic disturbance may be
electromagnetic noise, an unwanted signal or a change in the propaga-
tion medium itself.
2.1.3. ‘Electromagnetic immunity’ meansthe ability of a vehicle or compo-
nent(s) or separate technical unit(s) to perform without degradation of
performance in the presence of specified electromagnetic disturbances.
2.1.4. ‘Electromagnetic environment’ meansthe totality of electromagnetic
phenomena existing at a given location.
2.1.5. ‘Reference limit’ meansthe nominal level to which type approval and
conformity of production limit valuesare referenced.
2.1.6. ‘Reference antenna’ for the frequency range 20 to 80 MHz: meansa
shortened balanced dipole being a half wave resonant dipole at
80 MHz, and for the frequency range above 80 MHz: meansa
balanced half wave resonant dipole tuned to the measurementfrequency.
2.1.7. ‘Broadband emission’ means an emission which has a bandwidth
greater than that of a particular measuring apparatus or receiver.
2.1.8. ‘Narrowband emission’ means an emission which has a bandwidth less
than that of a particular measuring apparatus or receiver.
2.1.9. ‘Electrical/electronic system’ means (an) electrical and/or electronic
device(s) or set(s) of devices together with any associated electrical
connectionswhich form part of a vehicle but which are not intended
to be type approved separately from the vehicle.
2.1.10. ‘Electrical/electronic sub-assembly’ (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 specialized functions. An ESA may be approved
at the request of a manufacturer as either a ‘component’ or a ‘separate
technical unit (STU)’ (see ►
M4Directive 74/150/EEC, Article
9a◄).
2.1.11. ‘Vehicle type’ in relation to electromagnetic compatibility meansvehi-
cles which do not differ essentially in such respects as:
2.1.11.1. the overall size and shape of the engine compartment;
2.1.11.2. the general arrangement of the electrical and/or electronic components
and the general wiring arrangement;
2.1.11.3. 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.
2.1.12. An ‘ESA type’ in relation to electromagnetic compatibility means
ESAs which do not differ in such essential respects as:
2.1.12.1. the function performed by the ESA;1975L0322 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 005.001 — 4

4.1. Routesto type-approval1975L0322 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 005.001 — 5
(1) If applicable.
▼M4
4.1.1. Type-approval of a vehicle
The following alternative routesto type-approval of a vehicle may be
used at the discretion of the vehicle manufacturer.
4.1.1.1. Approval of a vehicle installation
A vehicle installation may achieve type-approval directly by following
the provis ionslaid down in paragraph 6 of thisAnnex. If thisroute is
chosen by a vehicle manufacturer, no separate testing of electrical/
electronic systems or ESAs is required.
4.1.1.2. Approval of vehicle type by testing of individual ESAs
A vehicle manufacturer may obtain approval for the vehicle by
demonstrating to the approval authority that all the relevant (see para-
graph 3.1.3 of this Annex) electrical/electronic systems or ESAs have
individually been approved in accordance with thisDirective and have
been installed in accordance with any conditions attached thereto.
4.1.1.3. A manufacturer, if he wishes, may obtain approval to this Directive if
the vehicle hasno equipment of the type which iss ubject to immunity
or emission tests. The vehicle shall have no systems as specified in
paragraph 3.1.3 (immunity) and no spark ignition equipment. Such
approvalsdo not require tes ting.
4.1.2. Type-approval of an ESA
Type-approval may be granted to an ESA to be fitted either to any
vehicle type or to a specific vehicle type or types requested by the
manufacturer. ESAsinvolved in the direct control of vehicleswill
normally receive type-approval in conjunction with a vehicle manufac-
turer.
4.2. Granting of type-approval
4.2.1. Vehicle4.2.1.1. If the representative vehicle fulfils the requirements of this Directive,
EEC type-approval pursuant to ►
M4Article 4 of Directive 74/150/
EEC◄shall be granted.
4.2.1.2. A model for the EEC type-approval certificate isgiven in Annex IIIA.4.2.2. ESA4.2.2.1. If the representative ESA system(s) fulfil(s) the requirements of this
Directive, EEC type-approval pursuant to ►
M4Article 4 of Directive
74/150/EEC ◄shall be granted.
4.2.2.2. A model for the EEC type-approval certificatesisgiven in Annex
IIIB.
4.2.3. In order to draw up the certificatesreferred to in paragraph 4.2.1.2 or
4.2.2.2, the competent authority of the Member State granting the
approval may use a report prepared by an approved or recognized
laboratory or in accordance with the provisions of this Directive.
4.3. Amendmentsto approvals4.3.1. In the case of amendments to approvals granted pursuant to this Direc-
tive, the provisions of ►
M4Article 6 of Directive 74/150/EEC ◄
shall apply.
4.3.2. Amendment of a vehicle type-approval by ESA addition or substitu-
tion.
4.3.2.1. Where a vehicle manufacturer hasobtained approval for a vehicle
installation and wishes to fit an additional or substitutional electrical/
electronic system or ESA which has already received approval
pursuant to this Directive, and which will be installed in accordance
with any conditionsattached thereto, the vehicle approval may be
amended without further testing. The additional or substitutional elec-
trical/electronic system or ESA shall be considered as part of the
vehicle for conformity of production purposes.
4.3.2.2. Where the additional or substitutional part(s) has (have) not received
approval pursuant to this Directive, and if testing is considered neces-
sary, the whole vehicle shall be deemed to comply if the new or
revised part(s) can be shown to comply with the relevant requirements
of paragraph 6 or if, in a comparative test, the new part can be shown
not to be likely to adversely affect compliance of the vehicle type.
4.3.2.3. The addition by a vehicle manufacturer to an approved vehicle of stan-
dard domestic or business equipment, other than mobile1975L0322 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 005.001 — 6
▼M4
communication equipment(1) which complieswith Directive 89/336/
EEC, and isins talled according to the recommendationsof the equip-
ment and vehicle manufacturers, or the substitution or removal thereof,
shall not invalidate the vehicle approval. This shall not preclude
vehicle manufacturersfitting communication equipment with s uitable
installations guidelines developed by the vehicle manufacturer and/or
manufacturer(s) of such communication equipment. The vehicle manu-
facturer shall provide evidence (if requested by the test authority) that
vehicle performance is not adversely affected by such transmitters.
This can be a statement that the power levels and installation are
such that the immunity levels of this Directive offer sufficient protec-
tion when subject to transmission alone, i.e. excluding transmission in
conjunction with the tests specified in paragraph 6. This Directive
does not authorize the use of a communication transmitter when other
requirements on such equipment or its use apply. A vehicle manufac-
turer may refuse to install in his vehicle standard domestic or business
equipment which complieswith Directive 89/336/EEC.
5.Marking
5.1. Every ESA conforming to a type approved pursuant to this Directive
shall bear an EEC type-approval mark.

by the two figures indicating the sequence number assigned to the
most recent major technical amendment to ►M4Directive 75/322/
EEC◄on the date EEC component type-approval wasgranted. In
thisDirective the s equence number is02.
5.3. The EEC type-approval mark must be affixed to the main part of the
ESA (e.g. the electronic control unit) in such a way as to be clearly
legible and indelible.

to a field strength, expressed in volts/m, up to 80 % of the reference
limitspres cribed in paragraph 6.4.2.1 of thisAnnex.
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 AnnexesV and VIII.
8.2. Vehicles which do not have electrical/electronic systems or ESAs
involved in the direct control of the vehicle need not be tested for
immunity and shall be deemed to comply with paragraph 6.4 of Annex
I and with Annex VI to thisDirective.
8.3. ESAswhos e functionsare not involved in the direct control of the
vehicle need not be tested for immunity 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 consid-
ered to be an electrically isolated structure. Significant electrostatic
forcesin relation to the vehicle'sexternal environment only occur at
the moment of occupant entry into or exit from the vehicle. Asthe
vehicle is stationary at these moments, no type-approval test for elec-
trostatic discharge is deemed necessary.
8.5. Conducted transients
Since during normal driving, no external electrical connectionsare
made to vehicles, no conducted transients are generated in relation to
the external environment. The responsibility of ensuring that equip-
ment can tolerate the conducted transients within a vehicle, e.g. due
to load switching and interaction between systems, lies with the manu-
facturer. No type-approval test for conducted transients is deemed
necessary.1975L0322 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 005.001 — 10

ANNEX IV
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT OF RADIATED BROADBAND ELEC-
TROMAGNETICEMISSIONSFROMVEHICLES
1.General
1.1. The test method described in this Annex shall only be applied to vehi-
cles.
1.2. Measuring apparatus
The measuring equipment shall comply with the requirements of publi-
cation No 16-1 (93) of the International Special Committee on Radio
Interference (CISPR).
A quasi-peak detector shall be used for the measurement of braodband
electromagnetic emissions in this Annex, or if a peak detector is used
an appropriate correction factor shall be used depending on the spark
pulse rate.
1.3. Test method
This test is intended to measure the broadband electromagnetic emis-
sions generated by spark-ignition systems and by electric motors
(electric traction motors, engines for heating or de-icing systems, fuel
pumps, water pumps, etc.) permanently fitted to the vehicle.
Two alternative reference antenna distances are permissible: 10 or 3 m
from the vehicle. In either case the requirements of paragraph 3 of this
Annex shall be complied with.
2.Expressionofresults
The results of measurements shall be expressed in dB microvolt/m
(microvol/m) for 120 kHz band width. If the actual band width B
(expressed in kHz) of the measuring apparatus differs from 120 kHz,
the readings taken in microvolts/m shall be converted to 120 kHz band
width through multiplication by a factor 120/B.
3.Measuringlocation
3.1. The test site shall be a level, clear area free from electromagnetic
reflecting surfaces within a circle of minimum radius 30 m measured
from a point midway between the vehicle and the antenna (see Figure
1 of Appendix 1 to thisAnnex).
3.2. The measuring set, test hut, or vehicle in which the measurement set is
located may be within the test site, but only in the permitted region
shown in Figure 1 in Appendix 1 to this Annex.
Other measuring antennae are allowed within the test area, at a
minimum distance of 10 m both from receiving antenna and the vehicle
under test, provided that it can be shown that the test results will not be
affected.
3.3. Enclosed test facilities may be used if correlation can be shown
between the enclosed test facility and an outdoor site. Enclosed test
facilitiesdo not need to meet the dimens ional requirementsof Figure
1 in Appendix 1 of thisAnnex other than the dis tance from the antenna
to the vehicle and the height of the antenna. Neither do they need to
have ambient emissions checked before or after the test as indicated in
paragraph 3.4 of thisAnnex.
3.4. 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 and after the main test. If the vehicle is present when
ambient measurements are taken, it will be necessary to ensure that
any emissions from the vehicle do not affect significantly the ambient
measurements, for example by removing the vehicle from the test area,
removing the ignition key, or disconnecting the battery. In both of the
measurements, the extraneous noise or signal shall be at least 10 dB
below the limitsof interference given in paragraph 6.2.2.1 or 6.2.2.2
(asappropriate) of Annex I, except for intentional narrowband ambient
transmissions.1975L0322 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 005.001 — 30

4.Vehiclestateduringtests
4.1. Engine
The engine shall be running at its normal operating temperature and the
transmission shall be in neutral. If for practical reasons this cannot be
achieved, alternative arrangementsmutually agreed between the manu-
facturer and the test authorities may be made. Care shall be taken to
ensure that the speed setting mechanism does not influence electromag-
netic radiations. During each measurement, the engine shall be operated
asfollows :
Engine typeMethod of measurements

tromagnetic screening purposes, the antenna's receiving elements shall
be no closer than 1,0 m to any radio absorbent material and no closer
than 1,5 m to the wall of the enclosed facility. There must be no absor-
bent material between the receiving antenna and vehicle under test.
5.3. Antenna location relative to vehicle
The antenna shall be located successively on the left and right-hand
sides of the vehicle, with the antenna parallel to the plane of longitu-
dinal symmetry of the vehicle, in line with the engine mid-point (see

750, 900 MHz. In the event that the limit isexceeded during the tes t,
investigations shall be made to ensure that this is due to the vehicle and
not to background radiation.
6.1.1. The limitsapply throughout the frequency range 30 to 1 000 MHz.
6.1.2. Measurements can be performed with either quasi-peak or peak detec-
tors. The limits given in Annex I, paragraphs 6.2 and 6.5 are for quasi-

equipment.
4.1.1.►M4The engine shall turn the driving wheels normally at a constant
speed corresponding to three quarters of the maximum speed of the
vehicle if there isno technical reas on for the manufacturer to prefer
another speed. The vehicle's engine must be loaded with an appropriate
torque. If need be, the transmission shafts may be disengaged (for
example, in the case of vehicles with more than two axles), provided
they do not drive a component emitting interference. ◄
4.1.2. Headlampss hall be on dipped beam.4.1.3. Left or right direction indicator shall be operating.
4.1.4. All other systems which affect the driver's control of the vehicle shall

connectionss hall be made to the vehicle from any equipment, except
asrequired by paragraph 4.1.1 or 4.2. Tyre contact with the tes t area
floor shall not be considered to be an electrical connection.
4.2. 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 require-
mentsof thisDirective. Such evidence s hall be retained in the type-
approval documentation.
4.3. 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 requirementsof thisAnnex are
met (e.g. by using (a) video camera(s)).
4.4. The vehicle shall normally face a fixed antenna. However, where the
electronic control units and the associated wiring harness are predomi-
nantly 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 vehi-
cles(i.e. excluding carsand light vans ), which have electronic control
units and associated wiring harness predominantly towards the middle
of the vehicle, a reference point (see paragraph 5.4 of this Annex)
may be established based on either the right side surface or the left1975L0322 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 005.001 — 38

side surface of the vehicle. This reference point shall be at the midpoint
of the vehicle'slength or at one point along the s ide 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.

10.Bulkcurrentinjectiontesting
10.1. Test method
Thisisa method of carrying out immunity tes tsby inducing currents
directly into a wiring harness using a current injection probe. The
injection probe consists of a coupling clamp through which the cables
of the ESA under test are passed. Immunity tests can then be carried
out by varying the frequency of the induced signals.
The ESA under test may be installed on a ground plane as in para-
graph 8.2.1 or in a vehicle in accordance with the vehicle design
specification.
10.2. Calibration of bulk current injection probe prior to commencing tests
The injection probe shall be mounted in a calibration jig. Whilst
sweeping the test frequency range, the power required to achieve the
current specified in Annex I, paragraph 6.7.2.1 shall be monitored.
This method calibrates the bulk current injection system forward
power versus current prior to testing, and it is this forward power
which shall be applied to the injection probe when connected to the
ESA under test via the cables used during calibration. It should be
noted that the monitored power applied to the injection probe isthe
forward power.1975L0322 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 005.001 — 59

each connector and 150 ± 10mm from each connector of the ESA
under test electronic control units (ECU), instrument modules or

10.4. Power, signal and control wires
For an ESA under test mounted on a ground plane as in paragraph
8.2.1, a wiring harness shall be connected between an artificial
network (AN) and the principal electronic control unit (ECU). This
harness shall run parallel to the edge of the ground plane and
200 mm minimum from its edge. This harness shall contain the power
feed wire which isus ed to connect the vehicle battery to thisECU
and the power return wire if used on the vehicle.
The distance from the ECU to the AN shall be 1,0 ± 0,1 m or shall be
the harness length between the ECU and the battery as used on the
vehicle, if known, whichever is the shorter. If a vehicle harness is
used then any line branches which occur in this length shall be routed
along the ground plane but perpendicular away from the edge of the
ground plane. Otherwise the ESA under test wires which are in this
length shall break out at the AN.1975L0322 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 005.001 — 60
