New Series 07 of Amendments to UN R10 Regulation on Electromagnetic Compatibility Enters into Force

Implementation Date

The new series 07 of amendments to UN R10 Regulation is officially applicable from June 17, 2025. As an accredited Technical Service in the field of electromagnetic compatibility, Applus+ IDIADA is already prepared to help manufacturers certify their vehicles and components with these new requirements.

Main Updates in Series 07

The series 07 of amendments introduces important updates compared to the previous version, including:

New Technical Definitions

• Automated Driving System (ADS) and Dynamic Driving Task (DDT)
• Residential and non-residential environments
• Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS)
• Accident Emergency Call Systems (AECS)

Requirements for ADS ensuring that vehicles remain in a safe mode during electromagnetic immunity tests.

Differentiation between residential and non-residential environments. The new amendment establishes specific limits for conducted radio frequency emissions according to the environment type, providing greater flexibility to heavy vehicles and buses that operate primarily in non-residential environments.

Updated failure criteria for different vehicle systems and functions, including specific requirements for AECS and AVAS systems.

Enhanced test procedures for various charging modes of electric and hybrid vehicles

Transitional Provisions

The transitional provisions include an extensive adaptation period:

• From September 1, 2029, Contracting Parties may refuse approvals according to previous series issued after that date
• Approvals according to series 06 issued before September 1, 2029, will continue to be accepted
• Contracting Parties will continue to accept series 06 approvals for vehicles, systems, or components not affected by changes in series 07

Implications for Manufacturers

Vehicle and component manufacturers will need to adapt their homologation processes to comply with these new requirements. The transitional period of more than four years provides sufficient time to plan and implement necessary changes.
