CISPR 16-2-1 is about methods of measurement: it does not set limits

UN ECE Reg 10 references CISPR 16-2-1 for powerline conducted emissions, so that seems like the most appropriate method to use.

CISPR 25 only applies to protection of on-board receivers, which means it only applies to equipment part of the automobile.  The EV charger is described as part of the home or office, not the vehicle.  Neither CISPR 25 or CISPR 12 apply.

The test methods between CISPR and FCC are really different, and as John said, CISPR 12 shouldn't apply to this at all. Would it be possible to test to CISPR 25 instead? That's a much closer match.

    CISPR 12 does not apply to such a charger. This is quite explicit
    in the Scope clause. I would tell you to go to the IEC Webstore
    and take a read-only look at the Scope, but perversely, what you
    get is the French version.

    CISPR 12 covers radiated emissions, 30 MHz to 1000 MHz, so I don't
    understand what you are getting at with conducted emissions below
    200 kHz.

         Hello,

        We market an EV charger to the N. American market.  We've been
        contacted by major automotive OEMs for partnerships, some
        white labeling, etc.

        Recently, one decided to test a charger in chamber with an EV
        to CISPR12 levels, even though it's an off-board charger
        qualified as a residential appliance.

        So, while the unit passes FCC Class B emissions, some testing
        during EV charging shows emissions above CISPR12 limits.  We
        and our potential customer are trying to reason out why the
        unit failed, and what are the implications for passing FCC
        Class B, while not passing CISPR12.

        The way I like to approach sticky issues on the edge of
        compliance is to identify and address the hazard posed.

        So, with EMC emissions some number of dB(uV) above those
        limits (all towards the low end of allowed conducted limits, <
        200 kHz), in a typical residential installation on or near a
        garage, and typical usage, i.e., not closely attended for any
        extended length of time:  what are the hazards or risks posed?

         Not being much of an EMC guy, I've never really had to think
        too much on this issue.  Being a long time safety guy, I have
        NEVER had an issue related to EMC from which to draw experience.

        What say you, my colleagues?
