Not an authoritative reply, just an opinion based on theoretical knowledge. An automotive product operates from 12 Vdc, or perhaps some other dc potential. In order for it to operate outside an auto, there must be an external power supply involved. Presumably that problem could be solved by using an approved "wall-wart" type supply. But a valid radiated emissions or immunity test of an automotive product would likely have it bonded to a metal ground plane, and any attached cable in close proximity to that ground plane. And the test antenna would be much closer than 3 meters from the test sample. This is all, for good reason, in marked contrast to the EN 55022 test set up.
I would think that if a product could be considered dual use, automotive or household, two completely different set of EMI requirements would have to be levied and verified separately. >From: "Hudson, Alan" <[email protected]> >To: "EMC-pstc (E-mail)" <[email protected]> >Subject: Automotive v.
