Typically depends on whether control-related and/or intended for direct connected to same DC bus as control systems and/or signals connected to a control system.
Compare your stuff to scope of requirements in ECE Regulation 10. Would also suggest that you become familiar with Guide to Control Plans, VCA09. If you have never done VCA submittals, suggest you talk to an automotive specialist at VDE or TUV Rheinland or the Klingon High Command. There are probably other 'agencies' that have automotive specialists.

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. a. When testing non 'immunity related' parts, does this testing need to take place at a VCA accredited facility or to be VCA witnessed? b. 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am I correct in assuming that it actually should now refer to the Radio Equipment Directive since the R&TTE has been repealed?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!
