TEM Cell Immunity
and Emissions Testing

Many of the auto manufacturers in Asia have developed EMC and electrical test specifications tailored to their test approach. Often these methods require special test equipment and procedures that are unique to the manufacturer. Elite has developed the specialized systems and methods to conduct these tests.

We have invested in the systems and capability to conduct the unique transient, radiated, and conducted immunity tests. Elite capabilities include:

• Nearby Antenna RF Immunity Test
• Radiated Noise Measuring Box
• FM/TV Band Noise Measuring Probe
• Conducted Transients and Field Decay

BMW, Daimler-Benz, Audi, Fiat

European auto manufacturers have traditionally followed the ISO and CISPR test specifications.  Elite has equipment and facilities in place to test to these methods. In fact, most of the European test methods will be the same as those currently on Elite’s AEMCLAP scope of accreditation.

50ohm Stripline Test

In Europe, automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, buses, agricultural tractors and certain other types of road vehicles must be evaluated to confirm they will meet specified performance and safety standards. The evaluation process is called type approval

Automotive EC Directives and ECE Regulations require third party approval - testing, certification and production conformity assessment by an independent body. Each Member State is required to appoint an Approval Authority to issue the approvals and a Technical Service to carry out the testing to the Directives and Regulations. An approval issued by one Authority will be accepted in all the Member States.

VCA is the designated UK Approval Authority and Technical Service for all type approvals to automotive EC Directives and ECE Regulations. Elite is approved by VCA for testing to e-Mark (EU) and E-Mark requirements (EFTA). The process requires early notification to VCA of your product requirements.
