1 SCOPE.

1.1 This test procedure evaluates electronic devices located within the occupant space of the vehicle for immunity to electrostatic discharge (ESD). When the occupant enters and moves within the vehicle or exits and reaches into the vehicle, a static charge develops on the occupant. When this person, seated within or standing outside, reaches towards a control or display surface of the vehicle, electrostatic discharge occurs. This disturbance may cause performance deviations or damage to the electronic component.
