Testing to LV 124 and LV 148 standards is necessary to verify the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of electronic systems in the automotive industry. These standards specifically address the requirements of automotive manufacturers and their supply chains, ensure the reliability of equipment in electromagnetic interference environments and define requirements for their immunity to transients and voltage changes.
LV 124 applies to electrical and electronic equipment installed in vehicles with low-voltage power systems (12V and 24V). LV 148 is an extension of LV 124, focusing on systems for high-voltage vehicles, including hybrid and electric cars.
