Alex,

For Europe, you need to check the Automotive EMC Directive 95/54/EC.  It
provides the EMC approval regime for motor vehicles of 4 wheels or more and
all equipment (including aftermarket equipment) intended to be fitted in the
vehicle.

Hi Group,

Our financial transaction terminals are mostly used in the commercial area
e.g. shops and offices, which use a separate AC/DC power supply block
connected to the mains There is a requirement for these same products to be
used in vehicles e.g. Taxis and Buses. These would use the power from the
batteries possibly from the cigarette lighter holder (12Volts). I have
obviously had to design in additional filter circuitry to account for this
type of DC Supply source.

My question is, will there be additional EMC and Safety requirements in
Europe or North America (other than those already approved for use in
commercial areas) for vehicle/mobile use?

Already Approved to:
EMC: EN55022 Class B, *EN55024, EN6100-3-2, EN61000-3-3, FCC Part 15,
ICES-003
Safety: EN60950 (also UL/CSA)

*The only additional test I can think of is for the EN55024 to include the
DC Power Port tests (excluded before due to the terminal being supplied from
an AC/DC power source).

As usual I look forward to your invaluable replies.

Kind Regards
Alex McNeil
Principal Engineer
