ECE Reg 10: “Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to electromagnetic compatibility”
UN/ECE Regulation No. 10 is a key automotive standard for manufacturers planning to sell vehicles in Europe. It is officially on its 6th revision (which can be freely downloaded here) and has been amended twice, most recently in 2022. Revision 7 is currently in work. It is an official publication of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. Ultimately a vehicle manufacturer will apply for “type certification” for a given vehicle line to be sold in Europe. In addition to the paperwork, a representative vehicle will need to be tested to ECE Reg 10 in the presence of an official EU witness.
It covers immunity, emissions, and the specific hazards concerning plugin electric vehicles with concern to the power grid. The limits for different tests are found in Appendices 2 - 7. The test method details are found in Annexes 4 - 22. In general, ECE Reg 10 adopts the following international standards:
CISPR 12 for off-board radiated emissions
ISO 11451-2 for off-board radiated immunity
CISPR 25 for radiated emissions from modules
ISO 11452-2, 3, 4 or 5 for radiation immunity of modules
ISO 7637-2 for module-level immunity to transient disturbances
The following apply to plug in electric vehicles in their charging mode only, either at the component or vehicle level:
IEC 61000-3-2 and -12 for measuring the harmonic conducted emissions on the AC power lines
IEC 61000-3-3 and -11 for measuring voltage flicker on AC power lines
CISPR 16-2-1 to measure RF conducted emissions
CISPR 22 to measure RF conducted emissions on wire network port
IEC 61000-4-4 for conducted immunity to fast transient/burst disturbances
IEC 61000-4-5 for conducted immunity to power surges

Because ECE Reg 10 has detailed test setups for adapting various international EMC standards to its exact automotive concerns, you can learn a lot about EMC standards and testing by reading through this freely available document.
