MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES OF MAGNETIC FIELD LEVELS
GENERATED BY ELECTRONIC AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IN THE
AUTOMOTIVE ENVIRONMENT WITH RESPECT TO HUMAN EXPOSURE –

Part 1: Low-frequency magnetic fields

1 Scope
This part of IEC 62764 applies to the assessment of human exposure to low-frequency magnetic
fields generated by automotive vehicles. For plug-in vehicles, this includes the electric vehicle
supply equipment (EVSE) and associated cables provided by the car manufacturer. This
excludes the charging station.
This document specifies the measurement procedure for the evaluation of magnetic field
exposures generated by electronic and electrical equipment (excluding intentionally
transmitting radio frequency antennas) in selected automotive environments, for passenger
cars and commercial vehicles of categories M1 and N1 as defined in
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.3 [1] , with respect to human exposure. It provides standardized
operating conditions and defines recommended measurements to assess compliance with the
applicable exposure requirements.
This document covers the frequency range 1 Hz to 100 kHz and is applicable to any type of
engine and/or internal energy source.
This document does not include procedures for assessment of human exposure to
electromagnetic fields generated by wireless power transfer (WPT) equipment operating in
automotive environments. Exposure assessment procedures for WPT equipment are covered
by IEC PAS 63184 [2]. Magnetic field transients shorter than 200 ms occurring when electrical
functions are activated are not considered in this document.
Abnormal operation of the vehicle or its equipment is not taken into consideration.

4 Measurement procedure
4.1 Measurement phases
The measurement procedure is divided into four parts regarding the operational vehicle use:
1) vehicle in stationary mode;
2) vehicle in driving mode;
3) vehicle in dynamic mode;
4) vehicle in plug-in charging mode.
These four parts are described in detail in Clause 6.

– 10 – IEC 62764-1:2022 © IEC 2022
4.2 Measuring conditions
The measurements cover only sources of persistent magnetic field exposure. Continuous
occurring sources, or repetitive transient sources such as fan and wipers, are included.
Magnetic field transients shorter than 200 ms occurring when electrical functions are activated
are not considered in this document due the difficulty of performing reliable and repeatable
measurements.
NOTE The rotation of the tyres can produce low-frequency magnetic fields (typically below 50 Hz, depending on
the speed of the vehicle) in and surrounding the vehicle, due to the static magnetization of the tyres [10], [11]. This
can only contribute to measurements inside the vehicle (since no measurements are performed around the vehicle
in dynamic mode).
The measurements shall be performed in the vehicle's standard modes of operation, generating
reasonably foreseeable levels of magnetic field exposure in measuring volumes that are
representative of the occupant (Annex B) and bystander locations.
4.3 Test site
Measurements shall be performed in an area having ambient magnetic field exposure values of
less than 10 % of the values given in the requirements in the measurement volumes.
The ambient magnetic field exposure shall be measured without the vehicle, but in conditions
that are representative of the vehicle test. This measurement can be performed before each
test or periodically in accordance with the laboratory's quality management processes.
A dynamometer (or roller bench) may be used if it rotates all the wheels of the vehicle. It shall
be set to simulate the outdoor dynamics of the vehicle including at least its steady-state torque
in driving mode and its inertial mass during dynamic mode.
If an outdoor track is used, the slope gradient of the section of the track used for the tests shall
be in the range ±2 %.
NOTE In the case of a dynamometer, the ambient magnetic field exposure can depend on the torque and/or speed
of the dynamometer.
4.4 Vehicle set-up
The following configuration is recommended within the passenger compartment, where
practicable:
– all seats except the rearmost seats, if adjustable, centre-positioned horizontally and at the
lowest position vertically;
– the rearmost seats, if horizontally adjustable, in their rearmost position;
– the headrests fully retracted;
– all seat backs except for the rearmost seats, if adjustable, approximately 15° back from the
vertical;
– all seat backs of the rearmost seats, if adjustable, fully tilted backwards;
– the steering wheel centre-positioned vertically and horizontally.
4.5 Measurement locations
4.5.1 General
Measurements are performed in all regions of the vehicle that are accessible by the driver and
passengers, and in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle for bystanders. These include the driver
and passenger area (cabin), the cargo storage area, the engine and/or the electric powertrain
areas, and the areas around the outside of the vehicle.

The measurement distance between the surface of any part of the vehicle and the centre of the
probe shall be 20 cm (see Annex A), except for the surfaces of the seats where the distance of
6,5 cm shall be used. These distances (see Annex E) ensure an acceptable measurement
uncertainty for a 100 cm probe (see Annex C).
4.5.2 Inside the vehicle
Measurements shall be performed throughout the volumes accessible in normal vehicle use
cases by parts of the human body to which the applicable exposure requirements apply. These
volumes shall be defined by the car manufacturer depending on the specific vehicle. For
example, in the passenger compartment, occupants are assumed to be seated in positions
where restraint systems are provided. An example of test volumes taking account of all body
parts is illustrated in Figure 1.
Measurements are not required where the components are mounted (no components or parts
shall be removed to perform the measurements).

Figure 1 – Example of test volumes taking account of all body parts
for a left-hand drive vehicle
In the example shown in Figure 1, the following apply.
– For individual seats, the occupants are represented by three volumes corresponding to
(A) the feet, (B) the legs, and (C) the trunk and head. For bench seats, the occupants are
represented by three common volumes: D, E and F.
– The volume G represents the arms and hands on the steering wheel (which can be on the
left-hand side or right-hand side of the vehicle or both, or in the centre).
Measurements shall be performed over the engine and/or the electric powertrain in H and/or I
only in stationary and charging modes if the measurement is required, and if people are
permitted to access these areas while the engine is running and/or the electric powertrain is
active. The bottom of H can be a smooth envelope above all contained components. Volumes
B, C, E and F can also take into account the positions of babies and infants.
NOTE These test volumes are examples defined with consideration of all body parts (including potential exposure
of extremities in volumes A, D, G, H and I), but it is possible that some standards or regulations do not apply to the
whole body.
– 12 – IEC 62764-1:2022 © IEC 2022
Measurement in the areas of the driver's position can be achieved by different means including
the use of a dynamometer. Appropriate safety measures shall be employed to avoid accidents
due to operation of the dynamometer during measurements.
4.5.3 Outside the vehicle
Measurements shall be performed around the outside of the vehicle in all areas accessible to
parts of the human body identified in the applicable requirements.
5 Measurement technique
5.1 Measuring equipment
The measuring equipment shall include a probe covering the frequency range from 1 Hz to
100 kHz. The probe shall comply with the requirements of IEC 61786-1, including that the area
of the probe shall be at most 100 cm .
5.2 Measurement of the magnetic field exposure
For each volume specified in 4.5.2, the measurement of the magnetic field exposure shall be
performed as follows:
1) scan the entire volume to determine the location of the maximum magnetic field exposure;
2) retain the maximum magnetic field exposure.
To scan the measurement volumes, the probe shall be moved sufficiently slowly to ensure that
the spatial maximum is correctly located, especially when measuring sources between
1 Hz and 10 Hz.
The positioning of the probe and the means used to scan the volume shall be defined by the
laboratory depending on the probe and their measurement facilities, manually or automatically.
6 Measurement procedure
6.1 Vehicle in stationary mode
6.1.1 General
In this step, measurements are performed with the vehicle stationary.
For ICEVs, EVs and HEVs, these measurements are not required if all the relevant vehicle
functions can be tested simultaneously in driving mode.
6.1.2 Phase 1: vehicle preparation and set-up
The following conditions shall be applied.
– For ICEVs: idle (engine running) with transmission disengaged (neutral) for both manual
and automatic gearboxes.
– For EVs: ready to drive.
– For HEVs: ready to drive and/or idle (engine running).
– Vehicle parking brake enabled only if all functions can still be activated, otherwise utilize
appropriate means to restrain the vehicle.
– Start/stop function (if present) disabled (with engine continuously running).
– Seats and steering wheel set as defined in 4.4.
– Doors closed.
– Front and rear openings of vehicle (e.g. cargo storage area, hood) closed except when
measuring in associated volumes (e.g. H or I).
– Switch on the items of electrical equipment that are considered in 4.2.
– Where a range of settings are available (blower motor, heating), the reasonably foreseeable
use mode of operation shall be used.
NOTE As noted in IEC 62311:2019, 5.3, "For practical reasons it is acceptable to perform the assessment with
the equipment being operated with settings that produce the maximum exposure levels (e.g., maximum rated
load, maximum rated power consumption, maximum speed or other), consistent with reasonably foreseeable
use. The equipment is operated for a sufficient period to ensure that the conditions of operation are stable."
CAUTION: The engine fan or other equipment can start automatically without any warning.
6.1.3 Phase 2: vehicle measurement
Perform the measurement of magnetic field exposure in all volumes defined in 4.5 that are
required by the applicable regulation being assessed.
NOTE Examples of such regulations can be found in [3] to [9].
During the measurements, the SOC shall be kept above 20 % of the maximum SOC for vehicles
having an electric powertrain.
6.2 Vehicle in driving mode
6.2.1 General
In this step, measurements are performed when the vehicle is operated at a constant speed.
6.2.2 Phase 1: vehicle preparation and set-up
The following conditions shall be applied.
– Seats and steering wheel set as defined in 4.4.
– Switch on the items of electrical equipment that are considered in 4.2.
– Where a range of settings are available (blower motor, heating), the reasonably foreseeable
use mode of operation shall be used. See NOTE in 6.1.2.
6.2.3 Phase 2: vehicle measurement (at constant speed)
For ICEVs and EVs, drive the vehicle at a constant speed of (40 ± 8) km/h as indicated to the
driver: a cruise control regulator can be used.
For HEVs, drive the vehicle:
– either in single mode (e.g. serial hybrid) with both the electrical and the internal combustion
propulsion systems functioning to operate the vehicle at (40 ± 8) km/h. The value of the
engine speed shall be recorded in the test report;
– or in two separate modes (e.g. parallel hybrid): internal combustion engine operating alone,
electric propulsion system operating alone.
In all cases, if the vehicle cannot reach (40 ± 8) km/h, the maximum speed shall be chosen and
recorded in the test report.
During driving mode, the vehicle functions activated in stationary mode shall also be activated
simultaneously when possible.
Perform the measurement of magnetic field exposure in all volumes defined in 4.5.

– 14 – IEC 62764-1:2022 © IEC 2022
During the measurements, the SOC shall be kept above 20 % of the maximum SOC for vehicles
having an electric powertrain.
6.2.4 Phase 3: additional measurements
If required in the test plan (see NOTE in 6.1.2), complementary measurements may be carried
out in different vehicle driving conditions suspected to generate high magnetic field exposure.
6.3 Vehicle in dynamic mode
6.3.1 General
In this step, measurements are performed when the vehicle is accelerating.
6.3.2 Phase 1: vehicle preparation and set-up
The following conditions shall be applied.
– Seats and steering wheel set as defined in 4.4.
– Switch on the items of electrical equipment that are considered in 4.2.
– Where a range of settings are available (blower motor, heating), the setting assumed to
produce the highest magnetic field exposure level shall be used.
6.3.3 Phase 2: vehicle measurement
For each location of the maximum magnetic field exposure determined in the vehicle driving
mode test (see 6.2), perform an acceleration and deceleration cycle and measure the maximum
magnetic field exposure level during the cycle.
NOTE 1 Annex F presents typical results of magnetic field levels obtained during an experimental test cycle of two
electric powertrains.
The acceleration stage shall be performed from 0 km/h to 90 km/h, achieving at least 2,5 m/s
between 10 km/h and 75 km/h. In case the vehicle cannot maintain the specified acceleration
for reasons other than power limitations due to battery temperature, or cannot reach the
maximum speed due to the vehicle's capabilities (and not due to the limitations of the test
facility), the achieved acceleration and/or the maximum speed shall be indicated in the test
report.
NOTE 2 An acceleration of 2,5 m/s is chosen in order to be at least in line with other standards dealing with
acceleration-related assessments, such as the GB/T 37130 standard from 2020, the NEDC (New European Driving
2 2
Cycle, ~1 m/s ) or the WLTP (Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure, 1,6 m/s ) and taking into
consideration that it is possible, without major safety issues during acceleration tests on dynamometer, to apply up
to this value.
The deceleration stage shall be performed from 90 km/h to 0 km/h, achieving at least 2,5 m/s
between 75 km/h and 10 km/h. In case the vehicle cannot maintain the specified deceleration,
the achieved deceleration shall be indicated in the test report.
NOTE 3 Storage of the vehicle at room temperature for at least 8 h prior to performing the test can prevent power
limitations due to battery temperature.
For vehicles having an electric powertrain, the minimum and maximum values of the SOC shall
be chosen so that the electric mode of acceleration is fully exercised. These values shall be
specified in the test plan and shall be recorded in the test report.

6.4 Vehicle in plug-in charging mode
6.4.1 General
This step is specific to vehicles equipped with an on-board rechargeable electrical energy
storage system (EV, plug-in vehicle, etc.). The measurements are performed for each charging
system of the vehicle and associated charging modes.
6.4.2 Phase 1: vehicle preparation and set-up
The following conditions shall be applied.
– At the beginning of the measurements, the SOC shall be below 20 % of the maximum SOC
for vehicles having an electric powertrain.
– Vehicle parking brake enabled.
– Seats and steering wheel set as defined in 4.4.
– Cable(s) of the plug-in charging system(s) of the vehicle or of the charging station hanging
+02,
vertically at a distance of (0,1 ) m from the vehicle body as described in the examples in
Figure 2 a) and Figure 2 b).
– The closures of volumes H and/or I closed unless measuring in those volumes.
– Key off.
– Switch off all electrical equipment.

6.4.3 Phase 2: vehicle measurement
Perform the measurement of magnetic field exposure in all volumes defined in 4.5 for each
charging system of the vehicle and associated charging modes with a SOC less than 80 %.
A measurement shall be performed around the socket of each charging system of the vehicle.
For each cable supplied by the car manufacturer and EVSE manufacturer, measurements shall
also be performed along and around the cable over its first 0,50 m. For cables including EVSE,
measurements shall also be performed over the surface of the EVSE. During the measurements,
the SOC shall be kept between 20 % and 80 % of the maximum SOC for vehicles having an
electric powertrain.
Other sources, such as the wall-box or charging station, should not be measured.

7 Assessment of measurement uncertainty
The assessment of measurement uncertainty shall include the information described in
IEC 62311:2019, Clause 6, and in particular the combined uncertainty due to frequency
response flatness, isotropy, linearity, positioning and calibration accuracy of the probe. An
uncertainty of 10 % due to the non-uniformity of the magnetic field for the size and the position
of the probe shall also be included in the combined uncertainty budget (see Annex C). Annex D
also provides information on the uncertainty values that can be used to calculate the overall
uncertainty. Other uncertainty quantities related to the functional aspects of the vehicle are not
considered in the estimation of the overall uncertainty.
8 Test report
The results of each assessment, test or measurement carried out shall be reported accurately,
clearly, unambiguously and objectively and in accordance with the information described in
IEC 62311:2019, Clause 9. An example for the structure of the report can be found in
ISO/IEC 17025 [12].
Details of the vehicle set-up actually applied during the measurements shall be indicated in the
test report, highlighting any deviations from the recommended settings.
For vehicle in driving mode tests, the value of the engine speed and the maximum speed chosen
shall be indicated in the test report.
For vehicle dynamic mode tests, the achieved acceleration and/or the maximum speed, as well
as the minimum and maximum values of the SOC shall be indicated in the test report.
Details of the areas in which the measurements were performed shall be indicated in the test
report.
All the information needed for performing repeatable assessments, tests, calculations, or
measurements shall be summarized in a test report.
