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

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. Emission
of
transient
conducted
disturbances
generated
by
ESAs
on
supply
lines.
ESAs that are not switched, contain no switches or do not include inductive loads need not be
tested for transient 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 fail criteria.
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).

SUB-ASSEMBLY (ESA) ADDITION OR SUBSTITUTION
8.1. 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.
8.2. 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.
8.3.
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 trans
mission 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.
9. CONFORMITY

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.
This method concerns both configurations of the vehicle:
(a) Other than ‘RESS in charging mode coupled to the power grid’;
(b) ‘RESS in charging mode coupled to the power grid’.
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 (fifth edition 2001 and
Amd1: 2005).
2. VEHICLE
STATE
DURING
TESTS
2.1. Vehicle
in
configuration
other
than
‘RESS
in
charging
mode
coupled
to
the
power
grid.’
2.1.1. Engine
The engine shall be in operation according to CISPR 12 (fifth edition 2001 and Amd1: 2005)
2.1.2. 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.
2.2. Vehicle in configuration ‘RESS in charging mode coupled to the power grid’.
This vehicle shall be in battery charging mode at rated power until the AC or DC current reached at least 80 per
cent of its initial value. The test set-up for the connection of the vehicle in configuration ‘RESS in charging mode
coupled to the power grid’ is shown in Figure 3 of the appendix to this annex.
3. MEASURING
LOCATION
3.1. As an alternative to the requirements of CISPR 12 (fifth edition 2001 and Amd1: 2005) for vehicles of category L
the test surface may be any location that fulfils the conditions shown in Figure 1 of the appendix to this annex. In
this case the measuring equipment must lie outside the part shown in Figure 1 of the appendix to 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 (fifth edition 2001 and Amd1: 2005) shall be applied.
4.3. Measurements
The Technical Service shall perform the test at the intervals specified in the CISPR 12 (fifth edition 2001 and
Amd1: 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 (second edition 2005 and Corrigendum: 2006) 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.

3. REFERENCE
POINT
3.1.
For the purposes of this annex, the reference point is the point at which the field strength shall be established
and shall be defined as follows:
3.2. For
category
M,
N,
O
vehicles
according
to
ISO
11451-2,
third
edition
2005.
3.3. For
category
L
vehicles:
3.3.1. At least 2 m horizontally from the antenna phase centre or at least 1 m vertically from the radiating elements of
a transmission-line-system (TLS);
3.3.2. 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 the
appendix to this annex) in the case of three-wheeled vehicles,
Or at 0,2 ± 0,2 m behind the vertical centreline of the vehicle’s front wheel (point D in Figure 2 of the appendix
to this annex) in the case of two-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 the appendix to 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 and Amd1:
2008.
4.1.1. The
Technical
Service
shall
perform
the
test
at
the
intervals
specified
in
ISO
11451-1,
third
edition
2005
and
Amd1: 2008 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 (second edition 2005 and Corrigendum: 2006)
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.

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, M 1 and N 1 ),
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.

cell
testing
(see
Appendix
2
to
this
annex)
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, third edition 2001.
Depending on the ESA to be tested the Technical Service shall chose the method of maximum field coupling to
the ESA or to the wiring harness inside the TEM-cell.
4.3. Bulk
current
injection
testing
4.3.1. Test
method
This is a method of carrying out immunity tests by inducing currents directly into a wiring harness using a
current injection probe.
4.3.2. Test
methodology
The test shall be performed according to ISO 11452-4, third edition 2005 and Corrigendum 1:2009 on a test
bench. As an alternative the ESA may be tested while installed in the vehicle according to ISO 11451-4 (first
edition 1995) with the following characteristics:
(a) The injection probe shall be positioned in 150 mm distance to the ESA to be tested;
(b) The reference method shall be used to calculate injected currents from forward power;
(c) 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, second edition 2002.
4.5. 800
mm
stripline
testing

Official Journal of the European Union
20.9.2012
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.
