1.2.


components and separate technical units intended to be fitted in these vehicles with the limitation given in paragraph 3.2.1 with regard to electromagnetic compatibility.
It covers:






(a)


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;










(b)


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
For the purposes of this Regulation:






2.1.


‘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.










2.2.


‘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.










2.3.


‘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.










2.4.


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










2.5.


‘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, second edition).










2.6.


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










2.7.


‘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.










2.8.


‘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 or his authorised representative as either a ‘component’ or a ‘separate technical unit (STU)’.










2.9.


‘Vehicle type’ in relation to electromagnetic compatibility includes all vehicles, which do not differ essentially in such respects as:






2.9.1.


the overall size and shape of the engine compartment;










2.9.2.


the general arrangement of the electrical and/or electronic components and the general wiring arrangement;










2.9.3.


the primary material of which the body or shell 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.














2.10.


An ‘ESA type’ in relation to electromagnetic compatibility means ESAs, which do not differ in such essential respects as:






2.10.1.


the function performed by the ESA;










2.10.2.


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














2.11.


‘Vehicle wiring harness’ means supply voltage, bus system (e.g. CAN), signal or active antenna cables, which are installed by the vehicle manufacturer.










2.12.

6.10.   Exceptions
6.10.1.   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 and with Annexes 5 and 8.
6.10.2.   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 and with Annex 6 to this Regulation.
6.10.3.   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 and with Annex 9 to this Regulation.
6.10.4.   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.
6.10.5.   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.
6.10.6.   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 international EMC standard, does not necessarily lead to a fail criterion.
6.10.7.   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 Regulation. Spurious emissions are subject to this Regulation.
6.10.7.1.   
                        ‘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 1.152 of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Radio Regulations).
6.10.7.2.   
                        ‘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 1.144 of the ITU Radio Regulations).
6.10.7.3.   
                        ‘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 1.145 of the ITU Radio Regulations).
7.   AMENDMENT OR EXTENSION OF A VEHICLE TYPE APPROVAL FOLLOWING ESA ADDITION OR SUBSTITUTION
7.1.   Where a vehicle manufacturer has obtained type approval for a vehicle installation and wishes to fit an additional or substitutional electrical/electronic system or ESA which has already received approval under this Regulation, and which will be installed in accordance with any conditions attached thereto, the vehicle approval may be extended 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.
7.2.   Where the additional or substitutional part(s) has (have) not received approval pursuant to this Regulation, and if testing is considered necessary, the whole vehicle shall be deemed to conform if the new or revised part(s) can be shown to conform to 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 the conformity of the vehicle type.
7.3.   The addition by a vehicle manufacturer to an approved vehicle of standard domestic or business equipment, other than mobile communication equipment, which conforms to other regulations, and the installation, substitution or removal of which is according to the recommendations of the equipment and vehicle manufacturers, shall not invalidate the vehicle approval. This shall not preclude vehicle manufacturers fitting communication equipment in accordance with suitable installation 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 can be a statement that the power levels and installation are such that the immunity levels of this Regulation offer sufficient protection when subject to transmission alone i.e. excluding transmission in conjunction with the tests specified in paragraph 6. This Regulation does not authorise the use of a communication transmitter when other requirements on such equipment or its use apply.
8.   CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION
The conformity of production procedures shall comply with those set out in the Agreement, Appendix 2 (E/ECE/324-E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.2), with the following requirements:






8.1.


Vehicles or components or ESAs approved under this Regulation shall be so manufactured as to conform to the type approved by meeting the requirements set forth in paragraph 6 above.










8.2.


Conformity of production of the vehicle or component or separate technical unit shall be checked on the basis of the data contained in the communication form(s) for type approval set out in Annex 3A and/or 3B to this Regulation.










8.3.


If the Competent Authority is not satisfied with the checking procedure of the manufacturer, then paragraphs 8.3.1 and 8.3.2 below shall apply.




8.3.1.   When the conformity of a vehicle, component or ESA taken from the series is being verified, production shall be deemed to conform to the requirements of this Regulation in relation to broadband electromagnetic disturbances and narrowband electromagnetic disturbances if the levels measured do not exceed by more the 2 dB (25 per cent) the reference limits prescribed in paragraphs 6.2.2.1, 6.2.2.2, 6.3.2.1 and 6.3.2.2 (as appropriate).
8.3.2.   When the conformity of a vehicle, component or ESA taken from the series is being verified, production shall be deemed to conform to the requirements of this Regulation in relation to immunity to electromagnetic radiation if the vehicle ESA 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 is in the state defined in Annex 6, paragraph 4, and is subjected to a field strength, expressed in Volts/m, up to 80 per cent of the reference limits prescribed in paragraph 6.4.2.1 above.
8.3.3.   If the conformity of a component, or Separate Technical Unit (STU) taken from the series is being verified, production shall be deemed to conform to the requirements of this Regulation 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 paragraph 6.8.1 and does not exceed the levels given in paragraph 6.9.1.
9.   PENALTIES FOR NON-CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION
9.1.   The approval granted in respect of a type of vehicle, component or separate technical unit pursuant to this Regulation may be withdrawn if the requirements laid down in paragraph 6 above are not complied with or if the selected vehicles fail to pass the tests provided for in paragraph 6 above.
9.2.   If a Party to the Agreement which applies this Regulation withdraws an approval it has previously granted, it shall forthwith notify the other Contracting Parties applying this Regulation thereof by means of a communication form conforming to the model in Annexes 3A and 3B to this Regulation.
10.   PRODUCTION DEFINITELY DISCONTINUED
If the holder of an approval permanently ceases to manufacture a type of vehicle or ESA approved in accordance with this Regulation, he shall so inform the authority which granted the approval, which shall in turn notify the other Parties to the 1958 Agreement which apply this Regulation, by means of a communication form conforming to the model in Annexes 3A and 3B to this Regulation.
11.   MODIFICATION AND EXTENSION OF TYPE APPROVAL OF A VEHICLE OR ESA
11.1.   Every modification of the vehicle or ESA type shall be notified to the Administrative Department which granted approval of the vehicle type. This department may then either:






11.1.1.


consider that the modifications made are unlikely to have an appreciable adverse effect and that in any case the vehicle or ESA still meets the requirements; or










11.1.2.


require a further test report from the Technical Service responsible for conducting the tests.




11.2.   Notice of conformation of approval or of refusal of approval, accompanied by particulars of the modifications, shall be communicated by the procedure indicated in paragraph 4 above to the Parties to the Agreement applying this Regulation.
11.3.   The Competent Authority granting the approval extension shall assign a serial number to the extension and so notify the other Parties to the 1958 Agreement applying this Regulation by means of a communication form conforming to the models in Annexes 3A and 3B to this Regulation.
12.   TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS
12.1.   As from the official date of entry into force of the 03 series of amendments, no Contracting Party applying this Regulation shall refuse to grant ECE approval under this Regulation as amended by the 03 series of amendments.
12.2.   As from 12 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation, as amended by the 03 series of amendments, Contracting Parties applying this Regulation shall grant approvals only if the vehicle type, component or separate technical unit to be approved meets the requirements of this Regulation as amended by the 03 series of amendments.
12.3.   Contracting Parties applying this Regulation shall not refuse to grant extensions of approval to the preceding series of amendments to this Regulation.
12.4.   Starting 48 months after the entry into force of the 03 series of amendments to this Regulation, Contracting Parties applying this Regulation may refuse first national registration (first entry into service) of a vehicle, component or separate technical unit which does not meet the requirements of the 03 series of amendments to this Regulation.
13.   NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF TECHNICAL SERVICES CONDUCTING APPROVAL TESTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE DEPARTMENTS

ANNEX 4

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 (amendment 1, fifth edition 2005).
2.   VEHICLE STATE DURING TESTS
2.1.   Engine
The engine shall be in operation according to CISPR 12 (amendment 1, fifth edition 2005) 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 are excluded because they are not used continuously.
3.   MEASURING LOCATION
3.1.   As an alternative to the requirements of CISPR 12 (amendment 1, fifth edition 2005) for vehicles of category L the test surface may be any location that fulfils the conditions shown in the figure 1 in the Appendix of this Annex. In this case the measuring equipment must lie outside the part shown in the figures 1 and 2 of Appendix 1 of this Annex.
3.2.   Enclosed test facilities may be used if correlation can be shown between the results obtained in the enclosed test facility and those obtained at an outdoor site. Enclosed test facilities do not need to meet the dimensional requirements of the outdoor site other than the distance from the antenna to the vehicle and the height of the antenna.
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 paragraphs 6.2 and 6.5 of this Regulation are for quasi-peak detectors. If peak detectors are used a correction factor of 20 dB as defined in CISPR 12 (amendment 1, fifth edition 2005) shall be applied.
4.3.   Measurements
The Technical Service shall perform the test at the intervals specified in the CISPR 12 (amendment 1, fifth edition 2005) 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 (first 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.
4.4.   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.

on the vehicle’s centre line (plane of longitudinal symmetry);










3.3.3.


at a height of 1,0 ± 0,05 m above the plane on which the vehicle rests or 2,0 ± 0,05 m if the minimum height of the roof of any vehicle in the model range exceeds 3,0 m;










3.3.4.


either at 1,0 ± 0,2 m behind the vertical centreline of the vehicle’s front wheel (point C in figure 1 of Appendix 1 of this Annex) in the case of three-wheeled vehicles,

3.3.5.


If it is decided to radiate the rear of the vehicle, the reference point shall be established as in paragraphs 3.3.1 to 3.3.4. 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, i.e. such that the distance from the antenna to the nearest part of the outer body of the vehicle remains the same. This is illustrated in figure 3 of Appendix 1 of this Annex.








4.   TEST REQUIREMENTS
4.1.   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:






(a)


AM (amplitude modulation), with 1 kHz modulation and 80 per cent modulation depth in the 20 to 800 MHz frequency range; and










(b)


PM (pulse modulation), t on 577 μs, period 4 600 μs in the 800 to 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 11451-1, third edition 2005.
4.1.1.   The Technical Service shall perform the test at the intervals specified in ISO 11451-1, third 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 (first 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.
5.   GENERATION OF REQUIRED FIELD STRENGTH
5.1.   Test methodology
5.1.1.   The substitution method according to ISO 11451-1, third edition 2005 shall be used to establish the test field conditions.

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 vehicles of categories L, M1 and N1), 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.

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 ISO 11452-5, second 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 of 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

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.
