7.CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION7.1.Measures to ensure the conformity of production shall be taken in accordance with the provisions laid down in Article 10 of Directive 70/156/EEC.7.2.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 type-approval certificate(s) set out in Annex III A and/or B of this Directive as appropriate.7.3.If the authority is not satisfied with the auditing procedure of the manufacturer, then items 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 of Annex X to Directive 70/156/EEC and paragraphs 7.3.1 and 7.3.2 below shall apply.7.3.1.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 4 dB (60 %) the type-approval limits prescribed in paragraphs 6.2.2.1, 6.2.2.2, 6.3.2.1, 6.3.2.2, 6.3.2.4, 6.5.2.1 and 6.6.2.1 (as appropriate).7.3.2.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 shows no degradation of performance of "immunity-related functions" when the vehicle, component or STU is in the state defined in Annex VI, paragraph 2, and subjected to a field strength or current, expressed in volts/m or mA, up to 80 % of the type-approval limits prescribed in paragraphs 6.4.2.1 and 6.7.2.1 of this Annex as appropriate.7.3.3.If the conformity of a 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 conducted disturbances and emission if the component or STU shows no degradation of performance of "immunity-related functions" up to levels given in 6.8.1 and does not exceed the levels given in 6.9.1.8.EXCEPTIONS8.1.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 of Annex I and with Annexes V and VIII.8.2.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 of Annex I and with Annex VI to this Directive.8.3.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 of Annex I and with Annex IX to this Directive.8.4.Electrostatic dischargeFor 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 emissionESAs 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 of this Annex.8.6.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 EMC standard and whose reference is published in the Official Journal of the European Union, does not necessarily lead to a fail criteria.8.7.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 Directive. Spurious emissions are subject to this Directive but need not be tested if the transmitter has a Declaration of Conformity according to Directive 1999/5/EC using a harmonised standard.8.7.1."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 1152 of the radio regulations).8.7.2."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 1144 of the radio regulations).8.7.3."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 1145 of the radio regulations).ANNEX II AInformation document No ... pursuant to Annex I to Directive 70/156/EECThe item numbers and footnotes used in this information document correspond to those set out in Annex I to Directive 70/156/EEC.

2.1.3.All equipment which can be switched on permanently by the driver or passenger should be in normal operation.2.1.4.All other systems which affect the driver’s control of the vehicle shall be (on) as in normal operation of the vehicle.2.2.If there are vehicle electrical/electronic systems which form an integral part of the direct control of the vehicle, which will not operate under the conditions described in paragraph 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.2.3.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 (e.g. by using (a) video camera(s), a microphone, etc.).3.Test requirements3.1.Frequency range, dwell times, polarisationThe vehicle shall be exposed to electromagnetic radiation in the 20 to 2000 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, andPM, t on 577 μs, period 4600 μs in the 800-2000 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: 3rd edition 2005.3.1.1.The technical service shall perform the test at the intervals specified in ISO 11451-1: 3rd edition 2005 throughout the frequency range 20 to 2000 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 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, 1300, and 1800 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.4.Generation of required field strength4.1.Test methodology4.1.1.The substitution method according to ISO 11451-1: 3rd edition 2005 shall be used to establish the test field conditions.4.1.2.CalibrationFor 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.4.1.3.Test phaseThe 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.ANNEX VIIMETHOD OF MEASUREMENT OF RADIATED BROADBAND ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS FROM ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC SUBASSEMBLIES1.General1.1.The test method described in this Annex may be applied to ESAs, which may be subsequently fitted to vehicles, which comply with Annex IV.1.2.Test methodThis 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).2.ESA state during tests2.1.The ESA under test shall be in normal operation mode, preferably in maximum load.3.Test arrangements3.1.The test shall be performed according to CISPR 25 (2nd edition 2002) clause 6.4 — ALSE method.3.2.Alternative measuring locationAs 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).3.3.AmbientTo 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.
