AFTERMARKET COMPONENT TEST STANDARDS FOR THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET

摘要

This paper looks at the minimum testing required, the basic testing recommended and what is essentially good design practice for any automotive component to be sold in the North American market for aftermarket fit. The SAE EMC standards (SAE J1113), that are the usually quoted standards for the North American market, are compared with their international equivalents and recent updates discussed. Some of the SAE standards that have no ISO or CISPR equivalent are also examined in brief, particularly where these have an OEM test origin. The paper will conclude with a matrix of recommended SAE standards that are good practice to apply to aftermarket automotive components intended for the North American market and some guidelines on which to apply and what severity standards might be considered "due diligence".
