Our Automotive Component EMC & Automotive Electrical Testing Services
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing for automotive components is essential to verify that they meet regulatory standards and industry requirements. Our area of expertise at H.B. Compliance is Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing, especially for the automotive industry.
Automotive Component EMC Testing
Automotive Component EMC testing is essential to guarantee that parts of the vehicle operate as intended without producing or being impacted by electromagnetic interference. Given the complexity and integration of electronic systems in modern vehicles, EMC compliance is not just regulatory, but a fundamental aspect of design and quality assurance.
Our services are designed to address the testing needs of components that go into vehicles, rather than the entire vehicles themselves. This focused approach enables us to provide detailed and specific insights into the electromagnetic compatibility of individual components.
We Cover These Automotive Component EMC Testing Standards
We routinely conduct tests across a broad range of standards to make sure that automotive components meet the stringent requirements set by regulatory bodies and individual automotive manufacturers. Below is an overview of the standards we cover:
These tests are essential for determining how automotive components interact with electromagnetic fields and how they might affect other systems and components within a vehicle.
Test Type | Standards and Regulations |
Radiated Emissions |

Automotive Component EMC & Electrical Testing
Component-level EMC and electrical testing to international standards and OEM specifications — CISPR 25, ISO 11452, ISO 10605, SAE J1113, ECE R10, plus Ford, Rivian, Toyota, Harley-Davidson and Honda specs. We test the parts that go into vehicles, and we test them properly.

EMC compliance is a design requirement, not just a regulatory one
Automotive component EMC testing confirms that a part operates as intended without producing electromagnetic interference — or being knocked over by it. Given how densely integrated electronic systems are in modern vehicles, EMC compliance is not just a box to tick at the end. It is a fundamental aspect of design and quality assurance, and it decides whether your part survives its OEM’s acceptance process.
Electromagnetic compatibility testing is our area of expertise, and the automotive industry is where a large share of that work sits. We routinely test across a broad range of standards to make sure components meet the requirements set by regulatory bodies and by individual automotive manufacturers — which are frequently not the same thing.
We test components, not complete vehicles
- That is deliberate. Our services are designed for the parts that go into vehicles rather than the vehicles themselves, and that focus is what lets us give detailed, specific insight into an individual component's electromagnetic behaviour. A whole-vehicle result tells you the car passed. A component result tells you what to change.
- Cable routing, grounding and bonding issues
- Shielding gaps and enclosure seam leakage
- Missing, undersized or wrongly placed filtering
- Clock and switching harmonics landing on a limit line
- Protection components on the input stage

Automotive component EMC standards we cover
These tests determine how a component interacts with electromagnetic fields, and how it might affect other systems inside the vehicle. Find your test type, check the standard, and if your OEM’s spec is in the row — we have run it.
| Test Type | Standards & Regulations |
|---|---|
| Radiated Emissions | |
| Conducted Emissions – Voltage Method | |
| Conducted Emissions – Current Method | |
| Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) | |
| Radiated RF Immunity | |
| Bulk Current Injection (BCI) |

Dedicated pages for the standards we run most
If you already know which standard your programme calls for, start there.
- CISPR 25
- Radiated and conducted emissions from components, so onboard receivers stay usable.
- ISO 11452-2 / -4
- Radiated RF immunity and bulk current injection — the immunity half of the campaign.
- ENS0310
- OEM automotive EMC specification testing for suppliers working to this requirement.
- ISO 14982
- Agricultural and forestry machinery — off-road electronics with their own requirements.
Automotive electrical testing
EMC is only half of what an OEM asks a supplier to prove. We also conduct a range of tests to confirm the electrical and functional integrity of components under real supply conditions — working to ISO 16750-2 among others, and to the manufacturer specifications our clients’ customers demand.

Automotive EMC testing FAQ
Do you test whole vehicles or components?
Components. Our services are designed for the parts that go into vehicles rather than the complete vehicle. That focus is deliberate — component-level testing gives detailed, specific insight into how an individual ECU, sensor, lighting assembly or telematics unit behaves, which is what a supplier needs in order to act on the result.
What's the difference between CISPR 25 and ISO 11452?
They cover opposite halves of automotive EMC. CISPR 25 is emissions — measuring the radiated and conducted noise your component produces, so it does not interfere with the vehicle’s own receivers. ISO 11452 is immunity — exposing the component to RF disturbances and checking it keeps functioning. Most OEM programmes require both.
Can you test to my OEM's specification?
Yes. Alongside the international standards we test to manufacturer specifications including Ford FMC1278, Rivian RTS.3653 and RTS.3670, Toyota TSC0505G, Harley-Davidson EG-812-22614 and EG812-22613, and Honda’s ASN specification.
If your customer’s spec is not in the tables above, send it over — the list is not exhaustive and we will confirm coverage.
Do you offer automotive electrical testing as well as EMC?
Yes. We conduct electrical testing to ISO 16750-2 and manufacturer specifications, covering parasitic current, jump start, reverse polarity, reset behaviour and power supply interruptions, battery voltage dropout, open circuit, short circuit to ground and battery, overvoltage durability and voltage fluctuation at engine start.
Can you build a custom test plan?
Yes. Each client has different needs, so we build programmes around the informational goals of the project — a single standard test, or a fully customised protocol combining EMC and electrical work.
What about agricultural and off-road machinery?
Covered. ISO 14982 handles agricultural and forestry machinery, and EN 12895 appears in several of our emissions and ESD programmes.
Are you an accredited lab?
Yes — H.B. Compliance Solutions is a fully accredited ISO/IEC 17025 testing laboratory in Tempe, Arizona, with iNARTE certified engineers and over 25 years of EMC experience. More about us.
