Specifications

EMC-CS-2009.1

February 11, 2010

The EMC test plan shall be prepared in accordance with the outline shown in EMC-P-2009. FMC reserves the right to

review and challenge specific detail of the EMC test plan including specific acceptance criteria for immunity testing. When

the test plan is accepted by FMC, a unique test plan number will be assigned. This test plan number will serve as reference

for subsequent test results. Failure to obtain this test plan number prior to commencement of testing will invalidate the

test results. See EMC-P-2009 for additional detail. Acceptance of the EMC test plan by FMC does not relinquish the

supplier from responsibility if latter review shows deficiencies in the test setup and/or the acceptance criteria. The supplier

shall work with the FMC EMC department to correct any deficiency and repeat testing if required by FMC.

5.3 Sample Size

A minimum of two samples shall be tested. All applicable tests are performed on each of the samples unless approved by the

FMC EMC department.

5.4 Sequence of Testing

ESD tests, both unpowered and powered (see Section 21) shall be performed prior to any other testing. All other tests may be

performed in any order. Extra test samples are recommended in the event of damage due to ESD. However, retesting will be

required as the result of any corrective design actions required to mitigate any ESD issues found.

5.5 Revalidation

To assure that EMC requirements are continually met, additional EMC testing may be required if there are any circuit or PCB

design changes (e.g. die shrinks, new PCB layout) in addition to any software changes. The process presented in EMC-P-

2009 shall be used to determine what additional testing will be required. The FMC EMC department and the FMC D&R

group shall be notified if any of the design changes outlined in EMC-P-2009 are planned.

5.6 Test Laboratory Requirements

All testing shall be performed in a recognized EMC test facility. A list of recognized test facilities may be found at

http://www.fordemc.com

. Laboratories seeking recognition by FMC shall do so via the Automotive EMC Laboratory

Recognition Program (AEMCLRP). Details on this program and steps for laboratory recognition may be found at

http://www.fordemc.com

FMC reserves the right to arrange for follow-up correlation tests and/or on site visits to evaluate the test methods presented

herein. A laboratory which refuses such follow-up activities, or for which significant discrepancies are found is subject to

having its recognition withdrawn.

5.7 Data Reporting & Data Review

Data reporting requirements, including processes for test report generation and submittal to the FMC EMC department are

found in EMC-P-2009. All test data shall be reviewed by the FMC EMC department to verify compliance to the

requirements herein. Component/Subsystem compliance shall be determined by the FMC department.

6.0 Requirement Applicability

Table 6-1 lists all of the EMC requirements delineated in this specification along with their applicability to E/E components.

In some cases components may fall into multiple categories (e.g. active magnetic sensors powered from a regulator power

supply). Under those conditions all applicable categories shall be considered.
