Automotive Component Testing
Great USA Today article on EMI and Toyota's woes. Industry in denial?
MET Labs' extensive environmental and EMC capabilities can be put to good use for testing the performance and reliability of vehicle and tractor/trailer electronic components to climatic, dynamic, and electrical environments from natural and vehicle-induced sources.

MET can test to MIL-STD, SAE, IEC, DIN, ASTM and FCC standards and European Directive 95/54/EC (72/245/EEC) or ECE Regulation No.10.

Recently adopted standards, that MET tests to include:

  • SAE J 1455 - Joint SAE/Tmc Recommended Environmental Practices for Electronic Equipment Design (Heavy-Duty Trucks)
  • SAE J1113/41 - Limits and Methods of Measurement of Radio Disturbance Characteristics of Components and Modules for the Protection of Receivers Used On-Board Vehicles
  • SAE J1113/ 21-Electromagnetic Compatibility Measurement Procedure for Vehicle Components Part 21: Immunity to Electromagnetic Fields, 10 kHz to 18 GHz, Absorber-Lined Chamber )
  • SAE J1113/22 - Electromagnetic Compatibility Measurement Procedure for Vehicle Components-Part 22-Immunity to Radiated Magnetic Fields From Power Lines
MET performs EMC testing on new right-hand drive Tesla auto MET has tested both the North American and UK Tesla Roadster. Tests are in accordance with the European Automotive Directive, including Radiated Emissions and Immunity testing, and for SAE J551-5: Performance Methods of Measurement of Magnetic and Electric Field Strength from Electric Vehicles. The Tesla vehicle is a unique, completely electric sports car.

e-Mark
MET can help electronic component manufacturers for the automotive industry obtain e-mark or E-mark approval according to the automotive directive 95/54/EC (72/245/EEC) or ECE Regulation No.10.

Automotive Directive 95/54/EC
The Automotive Directive, 95/54/EC's scope includes all electrical and electronic equipment intended for use to vehicles. Any device which is solely within the scope of 95/54/EC is outside the scope of the generic EMC Directive (89/336/EEC). The only approval mark for automotive equipment that provides freedom of movement across Europe is the automotive type approval "e" mark.
Approval Process 
The approval process for e-mark or E-mark starts after client provides relevant documentation and test samples for assessment and testing:

  • MET carries out testing on test samples in accordance with the Automotive Directive (Radiated immunity and Emissions).
  • MET will then arrange the submission of all test reports / technical documentation to VCA .
  • VCA issues a type approval certificate, subject to a satisfactory review of the submitted documents and Conformity of Production (CoP) assessment.
  • Client can affix e-mark on the product after received approval number from VCA.
