EMC - Vehicle
Our large hall” Faraday” is built specifically for vehicle testing and the Swedish automotive industry has contributed to the design. In addition to testing cars, we also have considerable experience of forestry machinery, earth-moving machinery, military vehicles, etc. Even vehicles with hybrid powertrains can be tested in accordance with legal requirements.
SP has vast resources
We can take vehicles of up to 60 tonnes and the hall is also equipped with a chassis dynamometer for testing under realistic conditions (both immunity and emission). We have the resources to generate field strengths of more than 100 V/m and more than that in radar pulses. In one of our smaller chambers “Weber” we can also generate the high field strengths required for vehicle component testing. Smaller vehicles like electric mopeds, small electric trucks etc can be tested in our mid-size chamber “Tesla”.
Accreditation and technical documentation
Our accreditation covers all the methods in the annexes to the vehicle directive. SP is also Technical Service to the Swedish Transport Agency. This means that we can help with the technical documentation needed for both a European approval (e-marking) under the EMC Directive for vehicles (72/245/EEC with its amendments) and an approval under United Nations Regulation 10 (E-marking).
