1 Abstract

ISO 10605 (Road vehicles ? Test methods for electrical disturbances from electrostatic discharge) is the international standard used to test immunity compliance of electronic components in automotive applications. The standard partly stemmed from IEC 61000-4-2 and simulates the discharge of a human body inside or outside a vehicle. This application notes provides an overview of the ISO 10605, comparing it to the IEC-61000-4-2 standard, and providing a brief guide for selecting parts and interpreting data.
