Volvo STD 515-0003 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Parts and Components

A component must function as intended when installed in a vehicle’s electrical system. Furthermore, it shall not degrade the electrical environment in which it is installed.

To ensure this, the levels of radiated and conducted emissions must be controlled. This also applies to the susceptibility, radiated as well as conducted.

To be permitted to market our products, they must comply with relevant EC and other national regulations.

Requirements on emission and susceptibility levels must be set and maintained in order to achieve the following targets:

 	
Make the complete product compliant with relevant EC and other national requirements
 	
Maintain our product responsibility

A device component/system may be approved by Volvo even if it does not comply with all of the requirements in this document. Such exemptions shall be decided by Volvo on a case-by-case basis.

All components shall fulfill both the component requirements and the complete vehicle requirements.

 	
Tests on vehicle are used to make a final validation
 	
Tests on device component/system are the supplier’s responsibility; tests on vehicle are the Volvo Group’s responsibility
