Hi Patrick, That is what is more commonly known as UN ECE Regulation 10, or Reg 10.05 (fifth edition). For EMC it has pretty much replaced the EU directive (2004/104/EC being the most recent) for EMC for automobiles.
Since it is a UN doc more than just the EU are signed onto it – I don’t have the list in front of me, but I think AS/NZS, South Korea, and South Africa may use it among others. I don’t know their regulatory requirements though. One of the biggest things to be aware of – immunity related devices as defined in the regulation require certification – no self declaration like for CE. You need a Technical Service as designated by an Approval Authority. Each country has an Approval Authority – e.g. NSAI in Ireland, Ministry of Transpot in the Czech Republic, etc. Testing has to be witnessed by someone approved by a Technical Service, and post test there is certification paperwork – conformity of production is a big deal and covered in a clause in ECE R10.

Good Friday afternoon, I’m reviewing a customer specification for EMC requirements for the battery charger used in their electric vehicle. They’re calling out a document that sounds official, yet I have not heard of before. With the emblem of the United Nations on the title page, the title is: ‘Concerning the Adoption of Harmonized Technical United Nations Regulations for Wheeled Vehicles, Equipment and Parts which can be Fitted and/or be Used on Wheeled Vehicles and the Conditions for Reciprocal Recognition of Approvals Granted on the Basis of these United Nations Regulations’ The document number is ‘E/ECE/324/Add.9/Rev.5/Amend.2’, and a copy can be found at: https://unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/main/wp29/wp29regs/2019/E-ECE-324-Add.9-Rev.5-Amend.2.pdf<https://unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/main/wp29/wp29regs/2019/E-ECE-324-Add.9-Rev.5-Amend.2.pdf> Has anyone worked with this before? How does it compare to EU Directives for automobiles? What countries are requiring it? I’ve worked with EMC for tabletop equipment in different industries, but this is my first time in the automotive industry. I'm anticipating a very deep rabbit hole.
