ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
(EMC)
1. Electromagnetic Emissions
Your System Cannot Interfere With Other
Systems or Subsystems in the Vehicle
(e.g., FM Radio).
2. Electromagnetic Susceptibility
Your System Must Continue to Operate Correctly
in the Presence of Interference From Others or
Transient Disturbances.
