Bob, The statements that you make are true. The Directive only sets out minimum requirements. Any specific manufacturer may require suppliers of sub-assemblies to meet some limit that exceeds these minimum requirements. He is not obliged to accept any and all sub-assemblies that meet the minimum requirements. Typically, the radiated immunity requirements are quite low by automotive testing standards. Whereas the Directive requires immunity to 24V/m, I have heard of manufacturers testing to 200V/m. As for immunity to transients, etc, ISO 7637 is very likely to be cited. Hope this helps.
