EN 62368 EMC Test for Automotive Audio Video Systems
The EN 62368 standard is a crucial aspect of ensuring safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in modern automobiles. Specifically, the test related to automotive audio video systems aims at verifying that these components do not cause harmful interference with other electronic devices within the vehicle or external environment. This is achieved by assessing the system's ability to withstand electromagnetic disturbances without malfunctioning.
The process involves several stages where the audio and video equipment are subjected to controlled electromagnetic environments under specified conditions. These tests help manufacturers ensure that their products comply with international safety regulations, thereby protecting passengers from potential hazards caused by improper electrical discharge or interference. Compliance with these standards is mandatory for all automotive manufacturers aiming to enter European markets since it is harmonized with the ECE R10 regulation.
Our laboratory employs state-of-the-art facilities and experienced professionals who can perform this test meticulously according to EN 62368-1, which covers general requirements and tests. For more complex systems such as those found in advanced infotainment units or navigation devices, additional compliance checks may be necessary using other relevant standards like ISO/IEC 17025.
By adhering to EN 62368-1, we ensure that our clients' products meet all necessary regulatory requirements. Our testing services not only focus on meeting these standards but also provide valuable insights into how your product performs under various conditions which can aid in continuous improvement efforts. We understand the importance of maintaining high-quality audio and video experiences while ensuring safety measures are stringent enough to protect users.
