This is a legislation item that originated from the EU

After exit day there will be three versions of this legislation to consult for different purposes. The legislation.gov.uk version is the version that applies in the UK. The EU Version currently on EUR-lex is the version that currently applies in the EU i.e you may need this if you operate a business in the EU.

The web archive version is the official version of this legislation item as it stood on exit day before being published to legislation.gov.uk and any subsequent UK changes and effects applied. The web archive also captured associated case law and other language formats from EUR-Lex.

4. Environmental tests
4.1 Temperature

Verify functionality through:

  • Test according to ISO 16750-4, Chapter 5.1.1.2: Low temperature operation test (72 h @ – 20 °C)

  • This test refers to IEC 60068-2-1: Environmental testing - Part 2-1: Tests - Test A: Cold

  • Test according to ISO 16750-4: Chapter 5.1.2.2: High temperature operation test (72 h at 70 °C)

  • This test refers to IEC 60068-2-2: Basic environmental testing procedures; part 2: tests; tests B: dry heat

  • Test according to ISO 16750-4: Chapter 5.3.2: Rapid change of temperature with specified transition duration (– 20 °C/70 °C, 20 cycles, dwell time 2h at each temperature)

    A reduced set of tests (among those defined in section 3 of this table) can be carried out at the lower temperature, the higher temperature and during the temperature cycles

213
4.2 Humidity Verify that the vehicle unit can withstand a cyclic damp (heat test) through IEC 60068-2-30, test Db, six 24 hours cycles, each temperature varying from +25 °C to + 55 °C and a relative humidity of 97 % at + 25 °C and equal to 93 % at +55 °C 214
4.3 Mechanical
1.

Sinusoidal vibrations.

verify that the vehicle unit can withstand sinusoidal vibrations with the following characteristics:

  • constant displacement between 5 and 11 Hz: 10mm peak

  • constant acceleration between 11 and 300 Hz: 5g

  • This requirement is verified through IEC 60068-2-6, test Fc, with a minimum test duration of 3 × 12 hours (12 hours per axis)

  • ISO 16750-3 does not require a sinusoidal vibration test for devices located in the decoupled vehicle cab.

2.

For 24V versions: compliance with ISO 7637-2 + ECE Regulation No. 10 Rev. 3:

  • pulse 1a: Vs=450V Ri=50 ohms

  • pulse 2a: Vs=+37V Ri=2 ohms

  • pulse 2b: Vs=+20V Ri=0,05 ohms

  • pulse 3a: Vs=– 150V Ri=50 ohms

  • pulse 3b: Vs=+150V Ri=50 ohms

  • pulse 4: Vs=– 16V Va=– 12V t6=100ms

For 12V versions: compliance with ISO 7637– 1 + ECE Regulation No. 10 Rev. 3:

  • pulse 1: Vs=– 75V Ri=10 ohms

  • pulse 2a: Vs=+37V Ri=2 ohms

  • pulse 2b: Vs=+10V Ri=0,05 ohms

  • pulse 3a: Vs=– 112V Ri=50 ohms

  • pulse 3b: Vs=+75V Ri=50 ohms

  • pulse 4: Vs=– 6V Va=– 5V t6=15ms

  • pulse 5: Vs=+65V Ri=3ohms td=100ms

  • Pulse 5 shall be tested only for vehicle units designed to be installed in vehicles for which no external common protection against load dump is implemented

For load dump proposal, refer to ISO 16750-2, 4th edition, chapter 4.6.4.

Timeline of Changes

This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.

The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.

For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force. For further information see our guide to revised legislation on Understanding Legislation.
