Europe - The following was copied from the Automotive EMC Directive 2004/104/EC. I am not aware of any electrical safety requirements. The voltage will be less than that specified by the LVD? Basically you have radiated emissions, emissions of conducted transients and transient immunity to ISO 7637 standards. In the light of the experience gained since the amendment to Directive 72/245/EEC, it is no longer necessary for after-market equipment unrelated to safety functions to be regulated by a Directive specifically concerning electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in the automobile sector. For such equipment it is sufficient to obtain a Declaration of Conformity in accordance with the procedures laid down in Council Directive89/336/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility (3) and in Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (4). Components sold as aftermarket equipment and intended for the installation in motor vehicles need no typeapproval if they are not related to immunity-related functions (Annex I, 2.1.12). In this case a Declaration of Conformity according to the procedures of Directive 89/336/EEC or 1999/5/EC must be issued. Part of this declaration must be that the ESA fulfils the limits defined in paragraphs 6.5, 6.6, 6.8 and 6.9 of Annex I to this Directive. 6.5. Specification concerning broadband electromagnetic interference generated by ESAs 6.5.1. Method of measurement The electromagnetic radiation generated by the ESA representative of its type shall be measured by the method described in Annex VII. 6.5.2. ESA broadband type-approval limits 6.5.2.1. If measurements are made using the method described in Annex VII, the limits shall be 62 to 52 dB microvolts/ m in the 30 to 75 MHz frequency band, this limit decreasing logarithmically with frequencies above 30 MHz, and 52 to 63 dB microvolts/m in the 75 to 400 MHz band, this limit increasing logarithmically with frequencies above 75 MHz as shown in Appendix 6 to this Annex. In the 400 to 1 000 MHz frequency band the limit remains constant at 63 dB microvolts/m. 6.5.2.2. On the ESA representative of its type, the measured values, expressed in dB microvolts/m, shall be below the type-approval limits. 6.6. Specifications concerning narrowband electromagnetic interference generated by ESAs. 6.6.1. Method of measurement The electromagnetic radiation generated by the ESA representative of its type shall be measured by the method described in Annex VIII. 6.6.2. ESA narrowband type-approval limits 6.6.2.1. If measurements are made using the method described in Annex VIII, the limits shall be 52 to 42 dB microvolts/m in the 30 to 75 MHz frequency band, this limit decreasing logarithmically with frequencies above 30 MHz, and 42 to 53 dB microvolts/m in the 75 to 400 MHz band, this limit increasing logarithmically with frequencies above 75 MHz as shown in Appendix 7 to this Annex. In the 400 to 1 000 MHz frequency band the limit remains constant at 53 dB microvolts/m. 6.6.2.2. On the ESA representative of its type, the measured value, expressed in dB microvolts/m shall be below the type-approval limits 6.8. Specifications concerning the immunity to transient disturbances conducted along supply lines 6.8.1. Method of testing The immunity of ESA representative of its type shall be tested by the method(s) according to ISO 7637-2:DIS2002 as described in Annex X with the test levels given in Table 1. 6.9. Specifications concerning the emission of conducted disturbances 6.9.1. Method of testing The emission of ESA representative of its type shall be tested by the method(s) according to ISO 7637-2:DIS2002 as described in Annex X for the levels given in Table 2. ANNEX X METHOD(S) OF TESTING FOR IMMUNITY TO AND EMISSION OF TRANSIENTS OF ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC SUBASSEMBLIES 1. General This test method shall ensure the immunity of ESAs to conducted transients on the vehicle power supply and limit conducted transients from ESAs to the vehicle power supply. 2. Immunity against disturbances conducted along supply lines Apply the test pulses 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b and 4 according to the International Standard ISO 7637-2:2002 to the supply lines as well as to other connections of ESAs which may be operationally connected to supply lines. 3. Emission of conducted disturbances along supply lines Measurement according to the International Standard ISO 7637-2:2002 on supply lines as well as to other connections of ESAs which may be operationally connected to supply lines.
