This SAE recommended Practice specifies measurement procedures and performance levels for magnetic and electric field emissions and conducted pwer mains emissions over the frequency range of 150 kHz to 30 MHz for vehicles incorporating electric propulsion systems, e.g., battery, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

Conducted emission measurements in this document are applicable only to battery-charging systems which utilize a switching frequency above 9 kHz, are mounted on the vehicle, and whose power is transferred by metallic conductors. Conducted emission requirements apply only during charging of the batteries from AC power lines.

Conducted and radiated emissions measurements of battery-charging systems that use an induction power coupling device are not covered by this document.

The measurement of electromagnetic disturbances for frequencies from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz and is coverd in CISPR 12.
