Automotive products (vehicles, electronic sub assemblies, technical units) are E marked according to UNECE Regulation 10. E marking means having type approval certificate according to UNECE R10 after finishing testing and certification processes.
Testing process starts with performing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests. If the product passes all tests type approval process starts, this part is mostly about documentation and quality. Together with EMC test report, the product’s, manufacturer’s and type approval applicant’s documents are reviewed by the authority.

Which products have to E marked?
Full vehicles or Electronic Sub-Assemblies (ESAs) have to be E marked. EMC tests and type approval of an ESA are performed according to latest version of UN ECE R10. How to define whether your product is an ESA or not. UN ECE R10 defines this clearly with a flowchart. If your product is an ESA check below chart to define whether your is under the scope of ECE R.10 and E marking:
Do ESAs also need other markings like CE?
Some ESAs may need extra tests in order to ensure compliance with other directives. An ESA having an immunity related function plus other features which are not covered by the vehicle framework directive will need to be E marked and CE marked.
According to UN ECE R10, immunity related functions are listed below:
• affecting the direct control of the vehicle,
• relating to driver, passenger, or other road
• users’ protections, liable to cause confusion
to the driver or other road users,
• for vehicle data bus functionality
• affecting vehicle statutory data, or
• for vehicle RESS charging
If an ESA has no immunity related function, only E marking is enough.
How to get E mark for a vehicle or ESA?
There are two main steps for E marking (Type Approval):
1) Testing according to ECE regulation(s)
In this step, the product has to be tested according to UN ECE R.10 regulation and related EMC test standards. If the product fulfils all test items, a test report is prepared by the testing laboratory. This test report is one of the documents that will be submitted during homologation.
UN ECE Regulation 10 is a free document and you can reach it by clicking the link below:
Download UN ECE Regulation 10 Rev.6
2) Homologation (Type Approval, E marking)
In this step, all technical documentation including ECE R.10 test report is submitted to regulatory authority (designated technical service) for E marking. Each country has a unique country code called ECE symbol and this code is has two components: E and a country-specific number. For example, for Germany it is E 1, for Ireland it is E 24. UN ECE publishes all ECE symbols and the list of all contracting parties (E-marking countries) under UN Regulation No. 10 Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to electromagnetic compatibility.
In addition to product documentation, additional information about the manufacturer, distributor or importer may be required. Quality management system certificates like ISO 9001 is one of the essential company documents for type approval.
After passing above steps, you will be able to use E mark on your product and market your product to whole countries which applies E-marking and countries which accept United Nations ECE regulations.
Do you want EMC testing or E-marking service for your product according to ECE Regulation 10?
We are helping businesses acting in automotive and certifying their products with our agreed and trusted partners. You can have EMC testing services or complete type approval service including EMC testing by contacting us. We are able to offer these E markings: E1 (Germany), E5 (Sweden), E11 (United Kingdom), E20 (Poland), E24 (Ireland), E32 (Latvia), E37 (Turkey), E57 (San Marino).
Essential Remark: All E marks are identical technically and by law, any E marked product can be used within UNECE member states since E marking is international product certification. Country codes, coming after the E mark, represents only the issuing authority’s country code, they do not mean that the product can only be used in that country. For instance, E24 is accepted in every country, not only in Ireland.
