Automotive electronics and component qualification

Automotive sub-systems live in a harsh thermal, vibrational and electrical environment, and modern e-mobility platforms add high-voltage and EMC complexity. Component release into a vehicle programme requires environmental, ingress and EMC test campaigns that map cleanly to OEM specifications and the underlying international standards.

Typical scope of engagement

• Ingress protection scope decision: IEC 60529 vs ISO 20653 (automotive-specific IP)
• Environmental conditioning sequences using IEC 60068-2 sub-tests
• EMC emission and immunity planning against IEC 61000 family
• Test bench specification for thermal shock, humidity, vibration and dust
• OEM specification translation into laboratory test parameters

Outcome

A traceable test plan that bridges the OEM acceptance specification and the international test methods, allowing component suppliers to demonstrate compliance in a single coherent campaign.
