This document applies to electric and electronic systems/components for road vehicles. This document describes the potential environmental stresses and specifies tests and requirements for the specific mounting location on/in the road vehicle. This document describes electrical loads. This document is not intended to apply to environmental requirements or testing for systems and components of motorcycles and mopeds. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is not covered by this document. Electrical loads are independent from the mounting location, but can vary due to the electrical impedance (including both the resistance and the inductance) in the vehicle wiring harness and connection system.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed
patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received
notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are

4 Test and requirements
4.1 General
If not otherwise specified, the following tolerances shall apply:
— frequency and time: ±5 %;
— voltages: ±0,2 V;
— currents: ±2 %;
— inductance: ±10 %;
— resistance: ±10 %.
All voltage curves are shown without load.
If not otherwise specified, measure all voltages at the relevant terminals of the DUT.
For devices and units operating on secondary feed (e.g. 5 V sensor being supplied from 12 V supplied
DUT), special considerations shall apply to voltage supply range, and specific tests shall be adjusted with
consideration to the actual vehicle installation. Which tests that are applicable and what considerations
that apply shall be agreed between the customer and the supplier.
NOTE For a device or unit working on secondary feed, the electrical testing is sometimes carried out
together with the 12/24 V supplied DUT providing the secondary feed.
A minimum of two DUTs shall be used for validation. If judged necessary by agreement between the
customer and the supplier, an increased sample size may be used for final validation phases (process
validation).
For redundant supplies and redundantly supplied DUTs, see definition in ISO 16750-1.
4.2 Direct current (DC) supply voltage
4.2.1 Purpose
The purpose of this test is to verify equipment functionality at minimum and maximum supply voltage.
4.2.2 Test method
Set the supply voltage as specified in Table 3 or Table 4 to all relevant inputs (connections) of the DUT.
Use the test profile as described in Figure 1 and Table 2. The test profile shall be run with the DUT in
operating mode 3.3, with the DUT in operating mode 3.4 (i.e. to test both minimum and maximum load
conditions), and at both T and T , as defined in ISO 16750-1. If agreed between the customer and
min max
the supplier, one of the operating modes 3.3 or 3.4 may be chosen for the test.
The test profile shall also be run once at room temperature at normal loading conditions, operating
mode 3.2 as defined in ISO 16750-1.

4.3.1.1.1 Purpose
This test simulates the condition where the alternator regulator fails, so that the output voltage of the
alternator rises above normal values.
This test is relevant for both 12 V and 24 V systems.
4.3.1.1.2 Test method
Heat the DUT in a hot air oven to a temperature that is 20 K below the maximum operating temperature,
T .

For 24 V systems, apply a voltage of 36 V for 60 min to all relevant inputs (connections) of the DUT.
The operating mode of the DUT shall be 3.4, as defined in ISO 16750-1.
If the DUT is supplied by two or more redundant supplies, and if agreed between the customer and the
supplier, the test voltage as specified above shall be applied to one of the redundant supply lines at a
time. The other supply or supplies shall then be kept at U as defined in ISO 16750-1.

4.3.1.2 Test at room temperature and T for jump start
min
4.3.1.2.1 Purpose
This test simulates a jump start from a 24 V system to a 12 V system vehicle. A simulated use case could
be a jump start from a donor vehicle using a 24 V system, but without engine running in the donor
vehicle (i.e. without applied charging on the 24 V side). A use case could also be a jump start from a 24 V
stand-alone battery pack. This test is only applicable for 12 V systems. The test shall be done both in
room temperature conditions and at T . If agreed between the customer and the supplier, test at T
min min
can be omitted.

4.3.2.3 Requirements
Minimum functional status class B as defined in ISO 16750-1 is required during active operating modes.
For specific applications where there is a need for more stringent control of the voltage range (where
deviations outside of normal voltage range could be considered harmful for design reasons) functional

supplier.
4.4 Superimposed alternating voltage

This test is intended to check immunity of a component to ripples in the on-board system, caused, for
example, by an alternator or a DC/DC converter.
It specifies a conducted voltage test method and procedure for determining the immunity of electronic
components. The method is applied to all DUT power supply lines simultaneously. For a DUT with
redundant supplies, any combination of exposures shall be agreed between the customer and the
supplier.
The severity level 1, 2, 3 and 4 shall be chosen in accordance with the application, see Table 8.
