What is ECE-R10?

EMC ECE-R10 is a type approval for electrical systems on vehicles and thus means that the lighting must not cause interference with other electrical equipment. At the same time, an ECE-R10 lamp is resistant to electromagnetic radiation from outside, including the equipment. The abbreviation "ECE" stands for Economic Commission Europe. This commission draws up guidelines for products and ensures that all products are tested. Read more about it here emc-interference-suppression.

Which products are covered by ECE-R10?

There are a number of products that fall under the scope of ECE-R10. The ECE-R10 regulations include the following:

  • Electromagnetic compatibility, all vehicles of categories: L, M, N, O, T, R, S1.
  • Components and STU requirements used in these vehicles comply with electromagnetic compatibility.
  • Other requirements for vehicle control. Includes directed and radiated disturbances to the function. It could interfere with drivers and other road users. The interference may be due to the functionality of the vehicle data bus. It may also affect the legal vehicle data.
  • If the requirements for conducted emission or unwanted radiation are met. Then the unwanted use of electronic equipment in the car or in other vehicles will follow. Also check the use of accessories that may disturb the cars.
  • Enkele andere vereisten van ESA’s en voertuigen. Het regelt het contact tussen het elektriciteitsnet en het voertuig. Het contact zorgt voor een goede veilige emissie en immuniteit van voertuigen.

Which two factors does ece-R10 refer to?

The "Interference" emission is limited to acceptable levels to enable operation without interfering with other electronic devices. In addition to the fact that the LED lamp itself must not emit any interference, LED lamps must also ensure sufficiently high resistance to external electromagnetic interference.

The "Interference" emission is limited to acceptable levels to enable operation without interfering with other electronic devices. The "Interference" emission is limited to acceptable levels to enable operation without interfering with other electronic devices.

Wat is ECE 65?

Besides the ECE-R10 regulation, you also have ECE 65: this is a European directive that describes the requirements for light and acoustic signals for vehicles and trailers. Since 2014, the ECE R65 regulations apply to yellow beacons and thus also for flashers for trailers and vehicles. It is important to prevent dangerous situations. It is therefore also important that you warn your fellow road user in time when such a vehicle approaches. Read more about ECE Regulation R65.
