ISO 11452: “Road vehicles — Component test methods for electrical disturbances from narrowband radiated electromagnetic energy”

ISO

ISO 11452 covers automotive components for immunity testing--with, as we see with several other standards, a whole lot of parts that can be bought separately. You can see which parts cover which test methods in the tables below. You can start by looking at ISO 11452-1 (“General principles and terminology”) which is available for purchase here. The current version is from 2015 and a new revision is expected in the next year or so.

ISO 11452 uses CISPR 16 to govern the measurements equipment used. Annex A of ISO 11452-1 has a very useful normative guide on how to classify the performance of different functions during testing (you would not call a test a failure if an infotainment system spontaneously reset during moderate level testing; the brake system doing the same thing would be considered a critical failure). 

You might notice similarities between ISO 11452 and its various parts and those of SAE J1113. That’s not a coincidence--J1113 was essentially the North American version of the same document until they came into agreement.

 

TIP:

If you have the facility available, testing in a reverb chamber (ISO 11452-11) is often the fastest way to test and also the one most likely to find problems. That sounds like a bad thing, but it’s much better to find problems when it’s one component in a chamber instead of troubleshooting an entire vehicle.
