Vehicle state during tests Clause Samples
The "Vehicle State During Tests" clause defines the required condition or configuration of a vehicle while it is undergoing testing. Typically, this clause specifies parameters such as fuel level, tire pressure, software version, or the presence of certain components to ensure consistency and reliability in test results. By standardizing the vehicle's state, this clause helps eliminate variables that could affect test outcomes, thereby ensuring that results are accurate and comparable across different tests or vehicles.
Vehicle state during tests. The vehicle shall be in configuration "REESS charging mode coupled to the power grid". The state of charge (SOC) of the traction battery shall be kept between 20 per cent and 80 per cent of the maximum SOC during the whole frequency range measurement (this may lead to splitting the measurement in different sub-bands with the need to discharge the vehicle's traction battery before starting the next sub-bands). If the current consumption can be adjusted, then the current shall be set to at least 80 per cent of its nominal value for AC charging. If the current consumption can be adjusted, then the current shall be set to at least 80 per cent of its nominal value for DC charging unless another value is agreed with the type approval authorities. In case of multiple batteries the average state of charge must be considered. The vehicle shall be immobilized, the engine(s) (ICE and / or electrical engine) shall be OFF and in charging mode. All other equipment which can be switched ON by the driver or passengers shall be OFF.
Vehicle state during tests. The vehicle shall be in configuration "REESS charging mode coupled to the power grid". The state of charge (SOC) of the traction battery shall be kept between 20 per cent and 80 per cent of the maximum SOC during the whole time duration of the measurement (this may lead to the measurement being splitting into different time slots with the need to discharge the vehicle’s traction battery before starting the next time slot). If the current consumption can be adjusted, then the current shall be set to at least 80 per cent of its nominal value for AC charging. In case of multiple batteries the average state of charge must be considered. The vehicle shall be immobilized, the engine(s) (ICE and / or electrical engine) shall be OFF and in charging mode. All other equipment which can be switched ON by the driver or passengers shall be OFF.
Vehicle state during tests. 2.1. The ignition switch shall be switched on. The engine shall not be operating.
2.2. The vehicle's electronic systems shall all be in normal operating mode with the vehicle stationary.
2.3. All equipment which can be switched on permanently by the driver or passenger with internal oscillators > 9 kHz or repetitive signals should be in normal operation.
Vehicle state during tests. 2.1. The vehicle shall be in configuration "RESS charging mode coupled to the power grid" at rated power until the AC current reached at least 80 per cent of its initial value.
Vehicle state during tests. 2.1. The vehicle shall be in an unladen condition except for necessary test equipment.
2.1.1. The engine shall normally turn the driving wheels at a steady speed of 50 km/h if there is no technical reason due to the vehicle to define a different condition. For vehicles of categories L1 and L2 the steady speed shall normally be turned at 25 km/h. The vehicle shall be on an appropriately loaded dynamometer or alternatively supported on insulated axle stands with minimum ground clearance if no dynamometer is available. Where appropriate, transmission shafts, belts or chains may be disconnected (e.g. trucks, two- and three-wheel vehicles).
2.1.2. Basic vehicle conditions The paragraph defines minimum test conditions (as far as applicable) and failures criteria for vehicle immunity tests. Other vehicle systems, which can affect immunity related functions must be tested in a way to be agreed between manufacturer and Technical Service. "50 km/h cycle" vehicle test conditions Failure criteria Vehicle speed 50 km/h (respectively 25 km/h for L1, L2 vehicles) ± 20 per cent (vehicle driving the rollers). If the vehicle is equipped with a cruise control system, it shall be operational. Speed variation greater than ± 10 per cent of the nominal speed. In case of automatic gearbox: change of gear ratio inducing a speed variation greater than ± 10 per cent of the nominal speed. Dipped beams ON (manual mode) Lighting OFF Front wiper ON (manual mode) maximum speed Complete stop of front wiper Direction indicator on driver's side ON Frequency change (lower than 0.75 Hz or greater than 2.25 Hz). Duty cycle change (lower than 25 per cent or greater than 75 per cent). Adjustable suspension in normal position Unexpected significant variation Driver's seat and steering wheel in medium position Unexpected variation greater than 10 per cent of total range Alarm unset Unexpected activation of alarm Horn OFF Unexpected activation of horn Airbag and safety restraint systems operational with inhibited passenger airbag if this function exists Unexpected activation Automatic doors closed Unexpected opening Adjustable endurance brake lever in normal position Unexpected activation "Brake cycle" vehicle test conditions Failure criteria To be defined in brake cycle test plan. This must include operation of the brake pedal (unless there are technical reasons not to do so) but not necessarily an anti-lock brake system action. Stop lights inactivated during cycle Brake warning light ON with loss...
