Our Services related to UN ECE Regulation 10
(We are making E marking easier by offering several services)
ECE R10 EMC Testing Services
With international network of authorized EMC test laboratories, we are able to offer electromagnetic compatibility testing services for Electronic Sub Assemblies (ESAs), systems, units, components, vehicles, electric vehicles according to latest version of UN ECE Regulation 10. To start EMC testing services, we are asking test sample to one of the laboratory addresses located in United States, United Kingdom, Italy, Poland, Turkey and China.
ECE R10 Design Engineering Services
With international network of EMC design engineers and experts, we are able to offer engineering and support services to pass electromagnetic compatibility tests of your products. If your product fails any ECE R10 tests, dedicated experts would support and consult you how to pass the tests. Any design changes are suggested according to existing design files or/and test results (if tested). This service can start before or after EMC testing stage. Having engineering service prior to tests might save you money and time. Having engineering service after the tests would give more specific results since the target would be more specific: passing the failed test(s). Our engineering services is not mandatory, it is voluntary, you can add anytime during the tests or certification process. Service can be delivered online, on-site or at laboratory.
ECE R10 E Marking Services
With international network of designated technical services we offer E1 (Germany), E5 (Sweden), E11 (United Kingdom), E20 (Poland), E24 (Ireland), E32 (Latvia), E37 (Turkey), E57 (San Marino) marking services for automotive.

ECE R10 E marking (type approval) services is a kind of documentation audit. You have to prepare whole documents properly to get the certificate. We recommend to start preparing the documents prior to starting EMC tests to make the prooduct and test report consistent with the documents.
If you already had testing service and got your ECE R10 EMC Test Report, we might use is it certify (E mark) your product to have ECE R10 Type Approval Certificate from type approval authority. For this, the tests should be conducted by a ISO/IEC/EN 17025 accredited EMC test laboratory and accreditation logo of the ILAC member accreditation agency shall be on the report. During the certification process, the accreditation of the laboratory is questioned and verified.

Case studies
We delivered ECE R10 type approval certificates and/or EMC test reports to many businesses. Latest ones are listed below:
1. United States company’s fog lamps are tested, reported, type approval (E marking) process is going on
2. Brazilian company’s FM receiver is tested, reported and type approved (E-marked)
3. British company’s monitoring/camera system is tested
4. British company’s caravan tracker is tested
5. Turkish company’s inductive sonsor is tested and reported
6. Dutch company’s LED flashlights are tested, reported and type approved (E-marked)
7. Portuguese company’s door electronic controller is tested, reported and type approved (E-marked)
8. Polish company’s wire harness and relay for bulbs are tested and reported
9. Australian company’s GPS control module is tested
10. Spanish company’s already tested Power Module is type approved (E-marked)
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 passing ECE R10 EMC tests and certification processes.
Testing process starts with performing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests at laboratory or on-site. On-site testing is only applicable for huge vehicles and for limited vehicle groups. 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 type approval authority. If all documents are properly issued, type approval certificate is issued with a unique E mark number.

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.

8. Market your E marked / type approved products to any country accepting E mark. If you reach this step you will be happier than now 🙂
Other UNECE Regulations
If your product falls under the scope of other UNECE regulations, it also shall be tested&certifed additionally. For instance if you have an electronic device to be used as mirror / indirect vision system it shall be certified ccording to both ECE R10 and ECE R46. Another example: If your product is lamp or signalling device it needs both ECE R10 and ECE R148 testing and certification. We are able to test and certify electronic products according to any UNECE Regulation, with our partner laboratories and type approval authorities.
