Abstract :
The European car industry is preparing its own product-specific directive, to take road vehicles out of the scope of the EMC Directive. The European automotive industry (ACEA, Association des Constructeurs Europeens d´Automobile) submitted a proposal to the European Commission that will exempt automotive electronics from the scope of the EMC Directive (89/336/EEC). This product-specific directive will bring automotive EMC into the established vehicle type approval process, but this may not be ready before approval to the EMC Directive is required
