Vehicles, boats and internal combustion engines―Radio disturbance characteristics―Limits and methods of measurement for the protection of off-board receivers
Vehicles, boats and internal combustion engines—Radio disturbance characteristics—Limits and methods of measurement for the protection of off-board receivers
1 Scope
The limits in this document are designed to provide protection for broadcast receivers in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 1,000 MHz when used in the residential environment. Compliance with this document may not provide adequate protection for new types of radio transmissions or receivers used in the residential environment nearer than 10m to the vehicle, boat or device.
Note 1: Experience has shown that compliance with this document may provide satisfactory protection for receivers of other types of transmissions when used in the residential environment, including radio transmissions in frequency ranges other than that specified.
This document is applicable to the emission of electromagnetic energy which may cause interference to radio reception.
The emission is from:
a) vehicles propelled by an internal combustion engine, electrical means or both (see 3.1);
b) boats propelled by an internal combustion engine, electrical means or both (see 3.2). Boats are to be tested in the same manner as vehicles except where they have unique characteristics as explicitly stated in this document;
c) devices equipped with internal combustion engines or traction batteries (see 3.3).
See Annex G for a flow chart to determine the applicability of this document.
This document does not apply to aircrafts, household appliances, traction systems (railway, tramway and electric trolley bus), or to incomplete vehicles. In the case of a dual-mode trolley bus (e.g., propelled by power from either AC/DC mains or an internal combustion engine), the internal combustion propulsion system shall be included, but the AC/DC mains portion of the vehicle propulsion system shall be excluded from this document.
Note 2: Protection of receivers used on board is covered by GB/T 18655-2018.
The measurement of electromagnetic disturbances while the vehicle is connected to power mains for charging is not covered in this document. The user is referred to appropriate standards which define measurement methods and limits for this condition.
