If you don't get any useful response here, let me know and I'll refer your enquiry to the automotive EMC experts on the BSI committee.

Hello all,

I’ve got an inquiry with the UK government Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) regarding EMC testing of automotive components but they are taking an age to respond. Does anyone here have any experience with EMC type approval of auto components? The questions I asked were:

 1. In this document -
    
https://www.dft.gov.uk/vca/additional/files/vehicle-type-approval/vehicle-type-approval/vca004.pdf
    - section 2.2 discusses “System or Component” approval. Do OEM
    spare parts fall into this scope?
 2. Looking at the flowchart in -
    
http://www.dft.gov.uk/vca/additional/files/vehicle-type-approval/system--component-type-approval/vca045.pdf
    - I can see that some components do not fall under the ‘immunity
    related’ category.
     1. When testing non ‘immunity related’ parts, does this testing
        need to take place at a VCA accredited facility or to be VCA
        witnessed?
     2. When this document quotes the R&TTE directive, am I correct in
        assuming that it actually should now refer to the Radio
        Equipment Directive since the R&TTE has been repealed?

I appreciate this is a bit of a niche question but I’ve always been surprised at the breadth of knowledge in this forum!

Many thanks

James
