TUV Rheinland is heavily involved in automobile testing in Germany. You
might try them.

        Subject:  Automotive EMC Directive


        Hi,

        I have been volunteered to research the Automotive EMC Directive.
What I
        have found so far is,

        -       The directive is 95/54/EC which is an amendment to
72/245/EEC.

        -       The directive is an "old approach" and has all of the
necessary test
        procedures and methods in the directive.

        -       Self declaration is not allowed.  You need a "technical
service" to
        approve your unit.

        -       The mark is the "e" mark and not the CE marking.

        -       The effective date is 01 October 2002.

        -       The tests listed in the directive are radiated broadband
emissions,
        radiated narrowband emissions and radiated immunity.


        The questions I have are.

        -       Is what I have above correct?

        -       How do I get a copy of the directive(s)?

        -       Does anyone have a list of the "technical services", or know
where I
        can get one?

        -       Does anyone have a sample of the "e" mark, or know where I
can get
        one?

        -       Are there any labs in the USA that do this type of testing? 


        Thanks
