EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

In  the  context  of  a  people’s  Europe,  the  Commission  attaches  great  importance  to 
simplifying  and  clarifying  Community  law  so  as  to  make  it  clearer  and  more 
accessible to the ordinary citizen, thus giving him new opportunities and the chance 
to make use of the specific rights it gives him. 

This aim cannot be achieved so long as numerous provisions that have been amended 
several times, often quite substantially, remain scattered, so that they must be sought 
partly  in  the  original  instrument  and  partly  in  later  amending  ones.  Considerable 
research work, comparing many different instruments, is thus needed to identify the 
current rules. 

For  this  reason  a  codification  of  rules  that  have  frequently  been  amended  is  also 
essential if Community law is to be clear and transparent. 

On  1  April  1987  the  Commission  therefore  decided1  to  instruct  its  staff  that  all 
legislative acts should be codified after no more than ten amendments, stressing that 
this  is  a  minimum  requirement  and  that  departments  should  endeavour  to  codify  at 
even  shorter  intervals  the  texts  for  which  they  are  responsible,  to  ensure  that  the 
Community rules are clear and readily understandable. 

The  Conclusions  of 
the  Edinburgh  European  Council 
(December 1992) confirmed this2, stressing the importance of codification as it offers 
certainty as to the law applicable to a given matter at a given time. 

the  Presidency  of 

Codification  must  be  undertaken  in  full  compliance  with  the  normal  Community 
legislative procedure. 

Given  that  no  changes  of  substance  may  be  made  to  the  instruments  affected  by 
codification, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission have agreed, 
by  an  interinstitutional  agreement  dated  20  December  1994,  that  an  accelerated 
procedure may be used for the fast-track adoption of codification instruments. 

is 

this  proposal 

to  undertake  a  codification  of  Council 
The  purpose  of 
Directive 75/322/EEC  of  20  May  1975  on  the  suppression  of  radio  interference 
produced  by  agricultural  or  forestry  tractors  (electromagnetic  compatibility)3.  The 
new Directive will supersede the various acts incorporated in it4; this proposal fully 
preserves the content of the acts being codified and hence does no more than bring 
them together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification 
exercise itself. 

COM(87) 868 PV. 
See Annex 3 to Part A of the Conclusions. 
Carried out pursuant to the Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and the 
Council – Codification of the Acquis communautaire, COM(2001) 645 final.

The codification proposal was drawn up on the basis of a preliminary consolidation, 
in all official languages, of Directive 75/322/EEC and the instruments amending it, 
carried out by the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, by 
means  of  a  data-processing  system.  Where  the  Articles  have  been  given  new 
numbers,  the  correlation  between  the  old and  the  new  numbers  is  shown  in  a  table 
contained in Annex XIII to the codified Directive.

1. 

SCOPE 

1.1. 

This  Directive  applies  to  the  electromagnetic  compatibility  of  vehicles  covered  by 
Article 1. It also applies to 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. 

2.1.2. 

‘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). 
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  perform  without  degradation  of  performance  in  the 
presence of specified electromagnetic disturbances. 

2.1.4. 

‘Electromagnetic  environment’  means  the  totality  of  electromagnetic  phenomena 
existing at a given location. 

2.1.5. 

‘Reference limit’ means the nominal level to which type-approval and conformity of 
production limit values are referenced. 

2.1.6. 

‘Reference  antenna’  for  the  frequency  range  20  to  80 MHz:  means  a  shortened 
balanced dipole being a half wave resonant dipole at 80 MHz, and for the frequency 
range  above  80 MHz:  means  a  balanced  half  wave  resonant  dipole  tuned  to  the 
measurement frequency. 

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. 

EN 

10 

   EN 

 
 
2.1.9. 

‘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. 

(cid:208) 2000/2/EC Art. 1 point 5 and 
Annex (adapted) 

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 specialised 
functions.  An  ESA  may  be  approved  at  the  request  of  a  manufacturer  as  either  a 
‘component’  or  a  ‘separate  technical  unit  (STU)’  (see  ⌦ Article  4(1)(c)  of 
Directive 2003/37/EC ⌫ ). 

(cid:208) 2000/2/EC Art. 1 point 5 and 
Annex 

2.1.11.  ‘Vehicle type’ in relation to electromagnetic compatibility means vehicles 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; 

2.1.12.2. the general arrangement of the electrical and/or electronic components, if applicable.

4.1.1.1.  Approval of a vehicle installation 

(cid:208) 2000/2/EC Art. 1 point 5 and 
Annex (adapted) 

A vehicle installation may achieve type-approval directly by following the provisions 
laid down in point 6 . If this route 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 point 3.1.3 ) electrical/electronic systems 
or ESAs have individually been approved in accordance with this Directive and have 
been installed in accordance with any conditions attached thereto. 

4.1.1.3.  A manufacturer, if he wishes, may obtain approval pursuant to this Directive if the 
vehicle has no equipment of the type which is subject to immunity or emission tests. 
The  vehicle  shall  have  no  systems  as  specified  in  point  3.1.3  (immunity)  and  no 
spark ignition equipment. Such approvals ⌦ shall ⌫ not require testing.

4.3.2.3.  The addition by a vehicle manufacturer to an approved vehicle of standard domestic 
or  business  equipment,  other  than  mobile  communication  equipment1  which 
complies  with  Directive  2004/108/EC,  and 
the 
recommendations of the equipment and vehicle manufacturers, or the substitution or 
removal  thereof,  shall  not  invalidate  the  vehicle  approval.  This  shall  not  preclude 
vehicle  manufacturers  fitting  communication  equipment  with  suitable  installations 
guidelines  developed  by  the  vehicle  manufacturer  and/or  manufacturer(s)  of  such 
communication  equipment.  The  vehicle  manufacturer  shall  provide  evidence  (if 
requested by the test authority) that vehicle performance is not adversely affected by 
such transmitters. This may be a statement that the power levels and installation are 
such  that  the  immunity  levels  of  this  Directive  offer  sufficient  protection  when 
subject to transmission alone, namely excluding transmission in conjunction with the 
tests  specified  in  point  6.  This  Directive  does  not  authorise  the  use  of  a 
communication  transmitter  when  other  requirements  on  such  equipment  or  its  use 
apply. A vehicle manufacturer may refuse to install in his vehicle standard domestic 
or business equipment which complies with Directive 2004/108/EC.

CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION 

7.1. 

7.2. 

7.3. 

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 EC type-approval certificate(s) set out in Annex IV and/or V 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 broadband radiated emissions and narrowband radiated emissions if the 
levels  measured  do  not  exceed  by  more  than  2 dB,  (25 %)  the  reference  limits 
prescribed in points 6.2.2.1, 6.2.2.2, 6.3.2.1 and 6.3.2.2 (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  does  not  exhibit  any  degradation  relating  to  the  direct  control  of  the  vehicle 
which  could  be  observed  by  the  driver  or  other  road  user  when  the  vehicle, 
component or STU is in the state defined in point 4 of Annex VIII and subjected to a 
field strength, expressed in volts/m, up to 80 % of the reference limits prescribed in 
point 6.4.2.1 of this Annex.

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 point 6.3.2 or 6.6.2 of this Annex and with Annexes VII and X. 

8.2. 

8.3. 

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 point 6.4 of this Annex and with Annex VIII . 

ESAs whose functions are not involved in the direct control of the vehicle need not 
be tested for immunity and shall be deemed to comply with point 6.7 of this Annex 
and with Annex XI . 

EN

   EN 

 
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 transients 

Since during normal driving, no external electrical connections are made to vehicles, 
no  conducted  transients  are  generated  in  relation  to  the  external  environment.  The 
responsibility of ensuring that equipment can tolerate the conducted transients within 
a  vehicle,  for  example  due  to  load  switching  and  interaction  between  systems,  lies 
with  the  manufacturer.  No  type-approval  test  for  conducted  transients  is  deemed 
necessary.

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.  Measuring apparatus 

The  measuring  equipment  shall  comply  with  the  requirements  of  publication 
No 16-1 (93) of the International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR). 

the  measurement  of  broadband 
A  quasi-peak  detector  shall  be  used  for 
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 emissions 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 point 3 shall be complied with.

3.1. 

3.2. 

3.3. 

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 in Appendix 1 ). 

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 . 

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. 

Enclosed test facilities may be used if correlation can be shown between the enclosed 
test  facility  and  an  outdoor  site.  Enclosed  test  facilities  do  not  need  to  meet  the 
dimensional requirements of Figure 1 in Appendix 1 other than the distance 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 point 3.4 . 

3.4. 

Ambient 

(cid:208) 2000/2/EC Art. 1 point 5 and 
Annex 

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 limits of interference 
given  in  point  6.2.2.1  or  6.2.2.2  (as  appropriate)  of  Annex  I,  except  for  intentional 
narrowband ambient transmissions.

direct control of the vehicle, which will not operate under the conditions described in 
point 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. 

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  (for  example  by  using  (a)  video 
camera(s)). 

(cid:208) 2000/2/EC Art. 1 point 5 and 
Annex (adapted) 

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 ⌦ shall ⌫  normally  be  carried  out  with  the  vehicle  facing  away 
from the antenna. In the case of long vehicles (namely excluding cars and light vans), 
which  have  electronic  control  units  and  associated  wiring  harness  predominantly 
towards  the  middle  of  the  vehicle,  a  reference  point  (see  point  5.4  )  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.

If  it  is  decided  to  radiate  the  rear  of  the  vehicle,  the  reference  point  shall  be 
established as in point 5.4. The vehicle shall then be installed facing away from the 
antenna and positioned as if it had been horizontally  rotated 180° around its centre 
point, namely in such a way that the distance from the antenna to the nearest part of 
the outer body of the vehicle remains the same. This is illustrated in Appendix 3 .

TEST REQUIREMENTS 

6.1. 

Frequency range, dwell times, polarisation 

The  vehicle  shall  be  exposed  to  electromagnetic  radiation  in  the  20  to  1 000 MHz 
frequency range. 

6.1.1.  To confirm that the vehicle meets the requirements of this Annex, the vehicle shall 

be tested at up to 14 spot frequencies in the range, for example: 

27, 45, 65, 90, 120, 150, 190, 230, 280, 380, 450, 600, 750 and 900 MHz.

shall be sufficient to allow the equipment under test to react under normal conditions. 
In any case, it shall not be less than two seconds. 

6.1.2.  One mode of polarisation shall be used at each frequency — see point 5.1.3. 

6.1.3.  All other test parameters shall be as defined in this Annex.

If a vehicle fails the test defined in point 6.1.1 , it must be verified as having failed 
under the relevant test conditions and not as a result of the generation of uncontrolled 
fields.

GENERATION OF REQUIRED FIELD STRENGTH 

7.1. 

Test methodology 

7.1.1.  The ‘substitution method’ shall be used to establish the test field conditions. 

7.1.2.  Calibration phase 

At each test frequency, a level of power shall be fed into the field generating device 
to produce the required field strength at the reference point (as defined in point 5) in 
the test area with the vehicle absent, the level of forward power, or another parameter 
directly related to the forward power required to define the field, shall be measured 
and  the  results  recorded.  Test  frequencies  shall  lie  in  the  range  20 to 1 000 MHz. 
Calibration shall be made, starting at 20, in steps not greater than two per cent of the 

EN 

59 

   EN 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
previous  frequency  finishing  at  1 000 MHz.  These  results  shall  be  used  for  type-
approval tests unless changes occur in the facilities or equipment which necessitate 
this procedure being repeated. 

7.1.3.  Test phase 

The  vehicle  shall  then  be  introduced  into  the  test  facility  and  positioned  in 
accordance with the requirements of point 5. The required forward power defined in 
point  7.1.2  at  each  frequency  as  defined  in  point  6.1.1  shall  then  be  applied  to  the 
field generating device. 

7.1.4.  Whatever parameter was chosen in point 7.1.2 to define the field, the same parameter 

shall be used to establish the field strength during the test. 

7.1.5.  The field generating equipment and its layout employed during the test shall be to the 
same specification as that used during the operations performed in point 7.1.2. 

7.1.6.  Field strength measuring device 

A  suitable  compact  field  strength  measuring  device  shall  be  used  to  determine  the 
field strength during the calibration phase of the substitution method. 

7.1.7.  During the calibration phase of the substitution method, the phase centre of the field 

strength measuring device shall be positioned at the reference point. 

7.1.8. 

If  a  calibrated  receiving  antenna  is  used  as  the  field  strength  measuring  device, 
readings shall be obtained in three mutually orthogonal directions and the isotropic 
equivalent value of the readings shall be taken as the field strength. 

7.1.9.  To  take  account  of  different  vehicle  geometries,  a  number  of  antennae  positions  or 

reference points may need to be established for a given test facility. 

7.2. 

Field strength contour 

7.2.1.  During  the  calibration  phase  of  the  substitution  method  (prior  to  a  vehicle  being 
introduced  into  the  test  area),  the  field  strength  in  at  least  80 %  of  the  calibration 
steps  shall  not  be  less  than  50 %  of  the  nominal  field  strength,  at  the  following 
locations:

on  a  line  passing  through  the  reference  point  and  at  the  same  height  as  the 
reference  point,  and  perpendicular  to  the  vehicle  plane  of  longitudinal 
symmetry;

envelope  excursion  of  an  unmodulated  sine  wave  whose  rms  value  in  volts/m  is 
defined in point 6.4.2 of Annex I (see Appendix 3 to this Annex).

4.5. 

If  the  ESA  under  test  consists  of  more  than  one  unit,  the  interconnecting  cables 
⌦ shall ⌫ ideally be the wiring harness as intended for use in the vehicle. If these 
are not available, the length between the electronic control unit and the AN shall be 
1 500 ± 75 mm.

The horizontal distance from the phase centre, or tip of the antenna as appropriate, to 
the edge of the ground plane shall be 1,00 ± 0,05 m. No part of the antenna shall be 
closer than 0,5 m to the ground plane. 

The antenna shall be placed parallel to a plane which is perpendicular to the ground

FREQUENCIES 

6.1.  Measurements 

(cid:208) 2000/2/EC Art. 1 point 5 and 
Annex (adapted) 

Measurements shall be made throughout the 30 to 1 000 MHz frequency range. An 
ESA  is  considered  as  very  likely  to  satisfy  the  required  limits  over  the  whole 
frequency range if it satisfies them at the following 13 frequencies in the range: 45, 
65, 90, 120, 150, 190, 230, 280, 380, 450, 600, 750 and 900 MHz. 

(cid:208) 2000/2/EC Art. 1 point 5 and 
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. 

6.1.1.  The limits apply throughout the frequency range 30 to 1 000 MHz. 

6.1.2.  Measurements can be performed with either quasi-peak or peak detectors. The limits 
given in points 6.2 and 6.5 of Annex I are for quasi-peak. If peak is used, add 38 dB 
for 1 MHz band width or subtract 22 dB for 1 kHz band width.

800 mm stripline testing 

7.3.2.1.  Test method 

(cid:208) 2000/2/EC Art. 1 point 5 and 
Annex (adapted) 

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 Figures 3 and 4 in Appendix 1 ). 

(cid:208) 2000/2/EC Art. 1 point 5 and 
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. 

7.3.2.2.  Positioning of stripline 

The stripline shall be housed in a screened room (to prevent external emissions) and 
to  prevent 
positioned  2 m  away  from  walls  and  any  metallic  enclosure 
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. 

7.3.2.3.  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. 

7.3.2.4.  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. 

7.3.2.5.  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,  for  example:  on  the  floor  of  the  screened  room  1 m 
longitudinally away from the stripline.

(cid:208) 2000/2/EC Art. 1 point 5 and 
Annex (adapted) 

The  TEM  (transverse  electromagnetic  mode)  cell  generates  homogeneous  fields 
between  the  internal  conductor  (septum)  and  housing  (ground  plane).  It  is  used  for 
testing ESAs (see Figure 1 in Appendix 3 ). 

9.2. 

Field strength measurement in a TEM cell 

9.2.1.  The electric field in the TEM cell shall be determined by using the equation: 

(cid:208) 2000/2/EC Art. 1 point 5 and

9.2.2.  Alternatively an appropriate field strength sensor shall be placed in the upper half of 
the  TEM cell.  In  this part of the  TEM  cell  the electronic control  unit(s)  has  only a 
small influence on the test field. The output of this sensor shall determine the field 
strength. 

9.3. 

Dimensions of TEM cell 

In order to maintain a homogeneous field in the TEM cell and to obtain repeatable 
measurement  results,  the  test  object  shall  not  be  larger  than  one-third  of  the  cell 
inside height. 

Recommended TEM cell dimensions are given in Appendix 3, Figures 2 and 3 .

9.4. 

Power, signal and control wires 

The TEM cell shall be attached to a co-axial socket panel and connected as closely as 
possible to a plug connector with an adequate number of pins. The supply and signal 
leads from the plug connector in the cell wall shall be directly connected to the test 
object. 

The external components such as sensors, power supply and control elements can be 
connected: 

(a) 

to a screened peripheral; 

(b) 

to a vehicle next to the TEM cell; or 

(c) 

directly to the screened patchboard. 

Screened  cables  must  be  used  in  connecting  the  TEM  cell  to  the  peripheral  or  the 
vehicle if the vehicle or peripheral is not in the same or adjacent screened room.

BULK CURRENT INJECTION TESTING 

10.1.  Test method 

This is a method of carrying out immunity tests by inducing currents directly into a 
wiring  harness  using  a  current  injection  probe.  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  point  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 point 6.7.2.1 
of  Annex  I  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 is the forward power. 

10.3. 

Installation of the ESA under test 

(cid:208) 2000/2/EC Art. 1 point 5 and 
Annex (adapted) 

For  an  ESA  mounted  on  a  ground  plane  as  in  point  8.2.1  all  cables  in  the  wiring 
harness  ⌦ shall ⌫  be  terminated  as  realistically  as  possible  and  preferably  with 
real loads and actuators. For both vehicle mounted and ground plane mounted ESAs 
the current injection probe shall be mounted in turn around all the wires in the wiring 
harness  to  each  connector  and  150 ± 10mm  from  each  connector  of  the  ESA  under 
test  electronic  control  units  (ECU),  instrument  modules  or  active  sensors  as 
illustrated in Figure 1 in Appendix 2. 

10.4. 

Power, signal and control wires 

(cid:208) 2000/2/EC Art. 1 point 5 and 
Annex 

For an ESA under test mounted on a ground plane as in point 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 is used to connect the vehicle battery to this ECU 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 

EN 

88 

   EN 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.
