Possible type approvals based on the latest ECE regulation No. 10 Revision 6
In the following, we would like to show you ways in which you can type-approve your products.
1. Original equipment (OEM) products
In principle, there is a type approval obligation at vehicle or component level in accordance with ECE regulation No. 10 Revision 5 or 6. As an essential new part of these guidelines, requirements for the EMC behavior of on-board chargers (OBC) have been created. For conventional 12 V, 24 V and 48 V devices, the basic measurement methods (radiated and conducted interference emission as well as radiated and conducted interference immunity) are still valid.
In the case of non-safety-related products (no function related to immunity), the radiated immunity test may be omitted.
There are a number of additional tests (e.g. surge and burst pulse) for OBCs.
We would be happy to advise you in the area of type approval!
2. Aftermarket products
As an additional regulation for the non-safety-related ESAs (no function related to immunity), which are intended exclusively for the aftermarket, there is the possibility of CE marking (E1 exemption). This requires proof of the tests according to the regulations ECE-R10 Rev. 6 without the test of the radiated interference immunity. This procedure does not require formal type approval.
CE conformity can thus be achieved with the help of the product family standard for electronic devices that are retrofitted in vehicles (DIN EN 50498:2011-04).
Scope of type approvals
E-type approvals are valid in the states that are contracting parties to the UN/ECE Convention and use the regulation in their territory. The contracting parties include the member states of the EU as well as other countries inside and outside of Europe.
