Hello all,
Thanks for all the leads, contacts and information. I shall follow up with them and let you all know what I find out. Many thanks (and happy Friday) James From: James Pawson (U3C) [mailto:ja...@unit3compliance.co.uk] Sent: 30 November 2017 16:13 To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] UK/EU Type Approval for Automotive Components Hello all, I've got an inquiry with the UK government Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) regarding EMC testing of automotive components but they are taking an age to respond. Does anyone here have any experience with EMC type approval of auto components? The questions I asked were: 1. In this document - https://www.dft.gov.uk/vca/additional/files/vehicle-type-approval/vehicle-ty pe-approval/vca004.pdf - section 2.2 discusses "System or Component" approval. Do OEM spare parts fall into this scope? 2. Looking at the flowchart in - http://www.dft.gov.uk/vca/additional/files/vehicle-type-approval/system--com ponent-type-approval/vca045.pdf - I can see that some components do not fall under the 'immunity related' category. a. When testing non 'immunity related' parts, does this testing need to take place at a VCA accredited facility or to be VCA witnessed? b. When this document quotes the R&TTE directive, am I correct in assuming that it actually should now refer to the Radio Equipment Directive since the R&TTE has been repealed? I appreciate this is a bit of a niche question but I've always been surprised at the breadth of knowledge in this forum!
