RAST Resolution 10/2-4Automotive

•  RAST Resolution 10/2-4 - resolves 2 (d)
• collaborate with the motor vehicle industry to
  insure that
• radio products used in vehicles do not compromise
  vehicle
• safety, and approval regimes are known and
  accepted
• The objective is to have an effective interface
  between the
• telecommunication and the motor vehicle
  industries in respect of radio
• equipment and systems to be installed or used in
  vehicles.
• EMC or other approval regulations re. the use and
  installation of radio
• transmitters in vehicles needs to be known and is
  a pre-requisite for the promotion of future
  Intelligent Transportation Systems.
• PSOs and their members need to work with the
  motor vehicle industry and regulators to minimise
  compliance/approval-testing regimes for radio
  equipments to be used or installed in motor
  vehicles

European EMC Legislation Automotive EMC
Directive

•  Automotive EMC Directive - COMMISSION DIRECTIVE
• 95/54/EC of 31 October 1995 adapting to technical
  progress
• Council Directive 72/245/EEC on the approximation
  of the laws
• of the Member States relating to the suppression
  of radio
• interference produced by spark ignition engines
  fitted to
• motor vehicles and amending Directive 70/156/EEC
  on the
• approximation of the laws of the Member States
  relating to the
• type-approval of motor vehicles and their
  trailers
• In force - now being revised the revised text
  has caused considerable debate between the
  automotive and telecommunication industries

Revision of the Automotive EMC Directive (1)

• The Automotive EMC Directive (95/54/EC) is an old
  style Directive in that
• it includes technical parameters and test
  conditions within the
• Directive and requires 3rd party testing
• More recent Directives, for example the EMC
  Directive are New
• Approach in that they refer to compliance with
  generic Essential
• Requirements which can be demonstrated by
  compliance with a
• harmonised standard
• The European Standards bodies CEN, CENELEC and
  ETSI are
• mandated by the Commission Services to prepare
  harmonised standards
• for the New Approach Directives
• When the harmonised standards are listed in the
  Official Journal of the
• European Communities (OJEC), conformance with the
  standard offers a presumption of conformity with
  the essential requirements of the relevant
  Directive

Revision of the Automotive EMC Directive (2 )

• The concerns of the telecommunications industry
  were
• expressed by ETSI in an open letter to the heads
  of
• National Delegations from the chairman of TC-ERM
• The overlapping regulatory requirements related
  to the application of the RTTE Directive
  99/5/EC, the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC and the
  Automotive EMC Directive 95/54/EC, which in turn
  requires mandatory 3rd party testing form the
  basis of the concerns

Comment

• The revision of the Automotive EMC Directive -
• 95/54/EC in Europe provides an opportunity to
• ensure that the growth of telecommunications
  services
• in motor vehicles required for Intelligent
  Transportation
• Systems are other services are not hampered by
  over-regulation in the market-place
• Automotive projects such as CALM and Electronic
  Fee
• Collection could be delayed if the regulatory
  burden is seen to be too high
