Renault 36.00.808 EMC Requirements (Cars and Electrical/Electronic Components)

The Renault 36.00.808 standard, developed by the French Renault automobile company, describes the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements of vehicles and defines test methods for cars and electrical / electronic components.

Automotive electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests are performed to measure the electromagnetic compatibility of a car and its components. Automotive EMC testing, a specialized discipline of EMC testing, focuses on cars and other vehicles to ensure they meet emissions and immunity standards.

Automotive EMC testing determines the radio frequency emitted from vehicle electrical systems and evaluates their sensitivity to radio frequency signals generated from non-vehicle sources as well as other devices on the vehicle.

The average passenger car today needs around 70 embedded electronic modules to monitor and control almost all aspects of the vehicle's operation. These functions include steering and braking, exhaust emission controls, safety and entertainment and comfort improvements. To ensure the safe operation of these systems, stringent testing and verification processes are often carried out as part of new product development. All vehicle original equipment manufacturers and most component suppliers conduct tests to verify the electrical performance and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of their devices. Regulations also require testing and compliance determination for certain types of vehicles and electronic subassemblies.

Today, electromagnetic interference (EMI) tests are carried out in advanced laboratories based on ISO 11451 and ISO 11452 standards for the automotive industry. These standards describe testing methods for road vehicles, regardless of engine type, whether gasoline, diesel or electric, for electromagnetic energy. Likewise, a referenced standard is the Renault 36.00.808 standard.

The test methods described in these standards determine the ability of equipment or systems in vehicles to operate satisfactorily in their electromagnetic environment without causing electromagnetic disturbance.

Among the numerous tests, measurements, analyses, and evaluations our organization provides for businesses in various sectors, we also offer electrical/electronic component testing services for vehicle electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements, in accordance with the Renault 36.00.808 standard, thanks to our trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
