Mandatory Compliance for the Global Automotive Market 

Before automotive products can be supplied into local and international markets, they must meet strict regulatory requirements. Automotive EMC testing plays a crucial role in verifying that electronics operate reliably without causing or suffering from electromagnetic interference.  

We carry out automotive testing programs that address regulatory approval, manufacturer acceptance and long-term reliability across the full lifespan of a vehicle.  

European E-Mark / ECE R10 Certification 

Compliance with strict ECE regulation 10 is mandatory for vehicles and electronic sub-assemblies supplied into Europe and EFTA countries. This regulation governs electromagnetic compatibility requirements for automotive systems and components.  

Our accredited automobile testing service supports E-mark certification for both component level and whole vehicle assessments. Our experts also assist with documentation preparation and approval pathways to help streamline the certification process.  

International Automotive Standards (ISO) 

We perform automotive testing to a wide range of international standards, including ISO and CISPR used across global vehicle platforms. These standards are commonly applied to electronic sub-assemblies, control units, lighting systems and propulsion components.  

Within our facilities, testing is conducted inside our accredited vehicle laboratory to ensure results are recognised by regulators and certification bodies. 

Manufacturer Specific Standards 

Automotive EMC compliance is defined through a combination of international standards, regional regulations and manufacturer specific EMC specifications.  

Our accredited automotive EMC testing services support assessment against a wide range of recognised automotive requirements, including: 

Ford EMC-CS-2009 and FMC1278

ISO automotive EMC standards

CISPR automotive standards, including CISPR 25

SAE automotive EMC standards

JASO automotive EMC requirements

GMW and other manufacturer EMC specifications

European Directive 2004/104/EC (Automotive EMC Directive)

Automotive EMC Testing and Compliance Services 

Our automotive EMC capability covers component, subsystem and full vehicle assessments using purpose-built facilities and specialised equipment.  

Testing programs are tailored to match regulatory requirements, OEM standards and real-world operating conditions. 

Our automotive EMC testing includes:

  • Radiated and conducted emissions testing
  • Radiated and conducted immunity testing
  • CISPR 25 component and vehicle testing
  • High field susceptibility testing exceeding 500V/m
  • Whole vehicle EMC assessment in large chambers

Component Environmental and Reliability Testing 

In addition to EMC testing, we provide environmental and durability testing to support automotive qualification programs and long-term reliability assessments. 

Vibration and Mechanical Shock

We perform vibration and shock testing to assess the structural integrity and functional performance of automotive components under transport and operational loads.

Climatic and Thermal Cycling

Our climatic testing services evaluate performance under temperature extremes, humidity exposure and thermal cycling conditions, which are commonly experienced in automotive environments.

Corrosion Resistance (Salt Spray)

Salt spray testing is used to assess corrosion resistance for automotive materials and coatings exposed to road salt, coastal conditions and harsh operating environments.

These services all complement automotive testing programs by identifying potential failure mechanisms before vehicles reach the field.
