ABSTRACT
The article presents issues related to electromagnetic compatibility testing of vehicles in urban areas in relation to applicable standards and regulations. The topic of magnetic and electric field strength measurements in the range from 150 kHz to 1 GHz was discussed in detail. Vehicle measurement results were presented and discussed in relation to the required criterion. The tests were carried out in accordance with the requirements of the PN-EN 50121-3-1:2017-05 standard.
