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 distur-
bances, 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.

2.1.2.

2.1.3.

‘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.

‘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.

‘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.

2.1.6.

2.1.7.

2.1.8.

‘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).

‘Narrowband emission’ means an emission which has a bandwidth less than that of a particular measuring
apparatus or receiver (CISPR 25, 2nd edition).

‘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.

‘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;

L 337/18

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

13.11.2004

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:

— by degradation or change in engine, gear, brake, suspension, active steering, speed limitation devices, for

example,

— 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.

3.

APPLICATION FOR EC TYPE-APPROVAL

3.1.8.

in mutual
A representative vehicle shall be selected from this schedule for the purpose of being tested,
agreement between the manufacturer and the competent authority. This vehicle shall represent the vehicle
type (see Appendix 1 to Annex IIA). The choice of vehicle shall be based on the electrical/electronic systems
offered by the manufacturer. One or more vehicles may be selected from this schedule for the purpose of being
tested if it is considered by mutual agreement between the manufacturer and the competent authority that
different electrical/electronic systems are included which are likely to have a significant effect on the vehicle's
electromagnetic compatibility compared with the first representative vehicle.

The choice of the vehicle(s) in conformity with paragraph 3.1.4 is limited to vehicle/electrical/electronic system
combinations intended for actual production.

The manufacturer may supplement the application with a report from tests, which have been carried out. Any
such data provided may be used by the approval authority for the purpose of drawing up the type-approval
certificate.

If the technical service responsible for the type-approval test carries out the test itself, then a vehicle repre-
sentative of the type to be approved, according to paragraph 3.1.4 shall be provided.

The vehicle manufacturer must provide a statement of frequency bands, power levels, antenna positions and
installation provisions for the installation of RF-transmitters, even if the vehicle is not equipped with RF-
transmitter at time of type-approval. This should cover all mobile radio services normally used in vehicles.
This information must be made publicly available following the type-approval.

Vehicle manufacturers must provide evidence that vehicle performance is not adversely affected by such
transmitter installations.

3.2.

Approval of a type of electrical/electronic subassembly (ESA)

3.2.1.

Applicability of this Directive to ESA:

L 337/20

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

13.11.2004

3.2.2.

The application for approval of a type of ESA with regard to its electromagnetic compatibility pursuant to
Article 3(4) of Directive 70/156/EEC shall be submitted by the vehicle manufacturer or by the manufacturer of
the ESA or his/her authorised representative.

3.2.3.

A model for the information document is given in Annex II B.

3.2.4.

The manufacturer may supplement the application with a report from tests which have been carried out. Any
such data provided may be used by the approval authority for the purpose of drawing up the type-approval
certificate. For equipment intended for installation in a vehicle, the manufacturer may supplement the appli-
cation with the manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity in line with the provisions of Directive 99/5/EC or
Directive 89/336/EEC, the EMC test report and the instruction for the user giving guidance for installation of
such equipment in vehicles.

3.2.5.

If the technical service responsible for the type-approval test carries out the test itself, then a sample of the ESA
system representative of the type to be approved shall be provided,
if necessary, after discussion with the
manufacturer on, for example, possible variations in the layout, number of components, number of sensors. If
the technical service deems it necessary, it may select a further sample.

3.2.6.

The sample(s) must be clearly and indelibly marked with the manufacturer’s trade name or mark and the type
designation.

3.2.7. Where applicable, any restrictions on use should be identified. Any such restrictions must be included in

Annexes II B and/or III B.

3.2.8.

3.2.9.

ESAs which are brought to the market as spare parts need no type-approval if they are obviously marked as a
spare part by an identification number and if they are identical and from the same manufacturer as the
corresponding original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part for an already type-approved vehicle.

Components sold as aftermarket equipment and intended for the installation in motor vehicles need no type-
approval if they are not related to immunity-related functions (Annex I, 2.1.12). In this case a Declaration of
Conformity according to the procedures of Directive 89/336/EEC or 1999/5/EC must be issued. Part of this
declaration must be that the ESA fulfils the limits defined in paragraphs 6.5, 6.6, 6.8 and 6.9 of Annex I to this
Directive.

During a transition period of four years after coming into force of this Directive the responsible for placing on
the market of such a product has to submit all relevant information and/or a sample to a technical service
which will determine if the equipment is immunity-related or not. The result of the inspection shall be available
within three weeks and not require additional testing. A document according to the example given in Annex III
C shall be issued by the technical service within the same period. Member States shall report, by a date three
years from the entry into force of this Directive, any cases of refusals on safety grounds. Based on the practical
experience with this requirement and based on the reports submitted by Member States, it will be decided,
according to the procedure referred to in Article 13 of Directive 70/156/EEC, and before the end of the
transition period, if this document is still required in addition to the Declaration of Conformity.

substitutional electrical/electronic system or ESA which has already received approval pursuant to this Directive,
and which will be installed in accordance with any conditions attached thereto, the vehicle approval may be
amended without further testing. The additional or substitutional electrical/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 necessary, 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.

4.3.3.

The addition of used ESAs, which are not type-approved according to this Directive because at their first time
of installation no type-approval was required, shall not invalidate the type-approval if the installation of such
used ESAs is done according to the recommendations of the ESA and vehicle manufacturer.

CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION

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.

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.

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.

If the conformity of a vehicle, component or STU taken from the series is being verified, production shall be
deemed to conform to the requirements of this Directive in relation to broadband radiated emissions and
narrowband radiated emissions if the levels measured do not exceed by more than 4 dB (60 %) the type-
approval
limits prescribed in paragraphs 6.2.2.1, 6.2.2.2, 6.3.2.1, 6.3.2.2, 6.3.2.4, 6.5.2.1 and 6.6.2.1 (as
appropriate).

If the conformity of a vehicle, component or STU taken from the series is being verified, production shall be
deemed to conform to the requirements of this Directive in relation to immunity to electromagnetic radiation if
the vehicle, component or STU shows no degradation of performance of ‘immunity-related functions’ when the
vehicle, component or STU is in the state defined in Annex VI, paragraph 2, and subjected to a field strength or
current, expressed in volts/m or mA, up to 80 % of the type-approval limits prescribed in paragraphs 6.4.2.1
and 6.7.2.1 of this Annex as appropriate.

L 337/26

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

13.11.2004

7.3.3.

If the conformity of a component or STU taken from the series is being verified, production shall be deemed to
conform to the requirements of this Directive in relation to immunity to conducted disturbances and emission
if the component or STU shows no degradation of performance of ‘immunity-related functions’ up to levels
given in 6.8.1 and does not exceed the levels given in 6.9.1.

8.

8.1.

8.2.

8.3.

EXCEPTIONS

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.

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.

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

8.6.

8.7.

8.7.1.

8.7.2.

8.7.3.

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.

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.

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.

‘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).

‘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).

‘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, intermodu-
lation 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.

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 ISO DIS 11451-1:2003.

3.1.1. The technical service shall perform the test at the intervals specified in ISO DIS 11451-1:2003 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,

Generation of required field strength

4.1.

Test methodology

4.1.1. The substitution method according to ISO DIS 11451-1:2003 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.

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 DIS 11452-2:
2003.

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: 3rd edition 2001.

Depending on the ESA to be tested the testing authority 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 DIS 11452-4: 2003 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 in 150 mm distance to 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.
