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).
The engine shall be in operation according to CISPR 12 (5th edition 2001) clause 5.3.2.
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.
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.
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.
This test is intended to measure the narrowband electromagnetic emissions such as might emanate from microprocessor-based systems or other narrowband source.
If not otherwise stated in this Annex the test shall be performed according to CISPR 12 (5th edition 2001) or to CISPR 25 (2nd edition 2002).

Editorial Information
X2 Inserted by Corrigendum to Commission Directive 2004/104/EC of 14 October 2004 adapting to technical progress Council Directive 72/245/EEC relating to the radio interference (electromagnetic compatibility) of vehicles and amending Directive 70/156/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (Official Journal of the European Union L 337 of 13 November 2004).
This test is intended to demonstrate the immunity of the vehicle electronic systems. The vehicle shall be subject to electromagnetic fields as described in this Annex. The vehicle shall be monitored during the tests.
If not otherwise stated in this Annex, the test shall be performed according to ISO DIS 11451-2:2003.
The test may be alternatively performed in an outdoor test site for all vehicles. The test facility shall comply with (national) legal requirements regarding the emission of electromagnetic fields.
If a vehicle is longer than 12 m and/or wider than 2,60 m and/or higher than 4,00 m, the BCI method according to ISO 11451-4 (1st edition 1995) can be used in the frequency range 20-2 000 MHz with levels defined in Annex I, paragraph 6.7.2.1.
The paragraph defines minimum test conditions and failures criteria for vehicle immunity tests. Other vehicle systems, which can affect immunity-related functions must be tested in a way to be agreed between manufacturer and technical service.
| ‘50 km/h cycle’ vehicle test conditions | Failure criteria |
|---|---|
| Vehicle speed 50 km/h ± 20 % (vehicle driving the rollers). If the vehicle is equipped with a cruise control system, it shall be operational | Speed variation greater than ± 10 % of the nominal speed In case of automatic gearbox: change-of-gear ratio inducing a speed variation greater than ± 10 % of the nominal speed |
| Dipped beams ON (manual mode) | Lighting OFF |
| Front wiper ON (manual mode) maximum speed | Complete stop of front wiper |
| Direction indicator on driver’s side ON | Frequency change (lower than 0,75 Hz or greater than 2,25 Hz) Duty cycle change (lower than 25 % or greater than 75 %) |
| Adjustable suspension in normal position | Unexpected significant variation |
| Driver’s seat and steering wheel in medium position | Unexpected variation greater than 10 % of total range |
| Alarm unset | Unexpected activation of alarm |
| Horn OFF | Unexpected activation of horn |
| Airbag and safety restraint systems operational with inhibited passenger airbag if this function exists | Unexpected activation |
| Automatic doors closed | Unexpected opening |
| Adjustable endurance brake lever in normal position | Unexpected activation |
| ‘Brake cycle’ vehicle test conditions | Failure criteria |
|---|---|
| To be defined in brake cycle test plan. This must include operation of the brake pedal (unless there are technical reasons not to do so) but not necessarily an anti-lock brake system action. | Stop lights inactivated during cycle Brake warning light ON with loss of function Unexpected activation |
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.
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, 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.
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.
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.
This test is intended to measure broadband electromagnetic emissions from ESAs (e.g. ignition systems, electric motor, etc.).
If not otherwise stated in this Annex the test shall be performed according to CISPR 25 (2nd edition, 2002).
As an alternative to an absorber-lined shielded enclosure (ALSE) an open-area test site (OATS), which complies with the requirements of CISPR 16-1 (2nd edition 2002) may be used (see Appendix 1 to this 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 or after the main test. In this measurement, the extraneous noise or signal shall be at least 6 dB below the limits of interference given in paragraph 6.5.2.1 of Annex I, except for intentional narrowband ambient transmissions.
The technical service shall perform the test at the intervals specified in the CISPR 25 (2nd edition 2002) standard throughout the frequency range 30 to 1 000 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 divide the frequency range in 13 frequency bands 30–50, 50-75, 75-100, 100-130, 130-165, 165-200, 200-250, 250-320, 320-400, 400-520, 520-660, 660-820, 820-1 000 MHz and perform tests at the 13 frequencies giving the highest emission levels within each band to confirm that the ESA 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 ESA and not to background radiation.
The maximum of the readings relative to the limit (horizontal/vertical polarisation) in each of the 13 frequency bands shall be taken as the characteristic reading at the frequency at which the measurements were made.
This test is intended to measure the narrowband electromagnetic emissions such as emanate from a microprocessor-base system.
If not otherwise stated in this Annex the test shall be performed according to CISPR 25 (2nd edition 2002).
The ESA under test shall be in normal operation mode.
As an alternative to an absorber-lined shielded enclosure (ALSE) an open-area test site (OATS) which complies with the requirements of CISPR 16-1 (2nd edition 2002) may be used (see Appendix 1 to Annex VII).
To ensure that there is no extraneous noise or signal of a magnitude sufficient to affect materially the measurement, measurements shall be taken before or after the main test. In this measurement, the extraneous noise or signal shall be at least 6 dB below the limits of interference given in paragraph 6.5.2.1 of Annex I, except for intentional narrowband ambient transmissions.
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 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 divide the frequency range in 13 frequency bands 30-50, 50-75, 75-100, 100-130, 130-165, 165-200, 200-250, 250-320, 320-400, 400-520, 520-660, 660-820, 820-1 000 MHz and perform tests at the 13 frequencies giving the highest emission levels within each band to confirm that the ESA 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 ESA and not to background radiation including broadband radiation from the ESA.
The maximum of the readings relative to the limit (horizontal/vertical polarisation) in each of the 13 frequency bands shall be taken as the characteristic reading at the frequency at which the measurements were made.

TEM cell testing: according to ISO 11452-3: 3rd edition 2001
Bulk current injection testing: according to ISO DIS 11452-4: 2003
Stripline testing: according to ISO 11452-5: 2nd edition 2002
800 mm stripline: according to paragraph 4.5 of this Annex
(Frequency range and general test conditions shall be based on ISO DIS 11452-1: 2003).
Measurements shall be made in the 20 to 2 000 MHz frequency range with frequency steps according to ISO 11452-1: 2002.
The test signal modulation shall be:
AM, with 1 kHz modulation and 80 % modulation depth in the 20-800 MHz frequency range,
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 ESA manufacturer.
Frequency step size and dwell time shall be chosen according to ISO 11452-1: 2001.
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, 120, 150, 190, 230, 280, 380, 450, 600, 750, 900, 1 300 and 1 800 MHz to confirm that the ESA meets the requirements of this Annex.
This test method allows the testing of vehicle electrical/electronic systems by exposing an ESA to electromagnetic radiation generated by an antenna.
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.
The TEM (transverse electromagnetic mode) cell generates homogeneous fields between the internal conductor (septum) and housing (ground plane).
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.
This is a method of carrying out immunity tests by inducing currents directly into a wiring harness using a current injection probe.
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.
This test method consists of subjecting the wiring harness connecting the components in an ESA to specified field strengths.
The test shall be performed according to ISO 11452-5 (2nd edition 2002).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The following table shows the dimensions for constructing a cell with specified upper frequency limits:
| Upper frequency(MHz) | Cell form factorW:b | Cell form factorL/W | Plate separationb (cm) | SeptumS (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 200 | 1,69 | 0,66 | 56 | 70 |
| 200 | 1,0 | 1 | 60 | 50 |
This test method shall ensure the immunity of ESAs to conducted transients on the vehicle power supply and limit conducted transients from ESAs to the vehicle power supply.
Apply the test pulses 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b and 4 according to the International Standard ISO 7637-2:2002 to the supply lines as well as to other connections of ESAs which may be operationally connected to supply lines.
