Regulation Overview
Stellantis CS.00054 is the OEM-specific standard governing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrical performance requirements for all electronic components used across Stellantis vehicle platforms. Originally issued by FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles), the standard defines rigorous test procedures for conducted and radiated emissions, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and electrical robustness under real-world operating conditions. CS.00054 compliance is a prerequisite for supplier qualification and PPAP approval on every Stellantis program.
The standard now operates under the harmonized Stellantis designation CS.00244, consolidating legacy FCA and PSA requirements into a unified specification. Suppliers must demonstrate compliance through validated test reports from A2LA-accredited or equivalent ISO 17025 laboratories. The standard references international methods including CISPR 25 for conducted emissions, ISO 11452-4 for bulk current injection, ISO 7637-2 for transient immunity, ISO 10605 for ESD, and ISO 16750-2 for electrical disturbance testing.
Compliance intersects with broader regulatory obligations under EU type-approval (ECE R10), REACH substance restrictions, and EU RoHS hazardous substance requirements applicable to automotive electronics.

Tier 1 suppliers of E/E components, modules, and sub-assemblies for Stellantis vehicle programs
Tier 2 and Tier N sub-suppliers manufacturing electronic sub-components integrated into Tier 1 assemblies
Third-party EMC test laboratories seeking Stellantis recognition and A2LA accreditation
Contract manufacturers producing E/E hardware under Stellantis part numbers
Suppliers transitioning legacy FCA or PSA components to harmonized Stellantis platforms
Engineering service providers conducting design validation or production validation testing
Key Thresholds
A single E/E component requires test evidence across conducted emissions (CISPR 25), radiated immunity (ISO 11452-4), transient immunity (ISO 7637-2), ESD (ISO 10605), and 15+ electrical performance tests. Each test generates its own report with different formats, lab templates, and measurement units. Your team manually cross-references every report against the OEM-approved test plan—one component at a time, across hundreds of part numbers.
Stellantis requires OEM-approved test plans before any validation testing begins. Without approval, lab time is wasted on "engineering development" results that Stellantis will not formally accept. Suppliers wait weeks for plan approval while APQP gate timelines compress. When deviations arise mid-testing, re-approval cycles add further delays that cascade across program milestones.
Only ISO 17025–accredited laboratories with Stellantis recognition can produce accepted test data. A2LA proficiency testing must demonstrate correlation with Stellantis reference laboratories. If a supplier's preferred lab loses recognition or fails a proficiency audit, months of accumulated test data may be rejected—forcing complete retest campaigns at program-critical timing.
Suppliers straddling legacy FCA CS.00054 and harmonized CS.00244 requirements face parallel validation obligations. Legacy test reports referencing the 2018 CS.00054 revision may not satisfy updated CS.00244 acceptance criteria. Without a centralized compliance data backbone, engineering teams cannot determine which components need retesting under the harmonized standard and which legacy evidence remains valid.

Frequently Asked Questions
What components and suppliers are subject to Stellantis CS.00054 compliance requirements?
Every electrical and electronic component, module, or sub-assembly destined for a Stellantis vehicle program must comply with CS.00054 (now harmonized as CS.00244). This includes Tier 1 suppliers delivering finished E/E modules, Tier 2 sub-suppliers providing component-level electronics, and contract manufacturers producing under Stellantis part numbers. The standard applies across ICE, hybrid, and BEV platforms globally. CORA automates evidence collection across all supplier tiers to ensure no component enters production without validated test data.
What happens if a supplier submits test data from a non-recognized laboratory?
Stellantis requires all EMC and electrical test data to originate from ISO 17025–accredited laboratories with formal OEM recognition, typically through the A2LA automotive EMC laboratory accreditation program. Test results from non-recognized labs are rejected, and retesting at an approved facility is required before PPAP can proceed. Certivo validates laboratory accreditation status during AI document parsing, flagging non-compliant submissions before they reach OEM review.
How does the harmonization from CS.00054 to CS.00244 affect existing compliance evidence?
The harmonized CS.00244 standard consolidates legacy FCA CS.00054 and PSA B21 7110 requirements into a unified Stellantis specification. Some test procedures and acceptance criteria have been updated, meaning legacy evidence may not satisfy current requirements. Certivo's continuous compliance monitoring automatically assesses existing evidence against updated CS.00244 criteria, identifying which components require revalidation and which legacy reports remain acceptable.
What declaration and evidence formats does Certivo accept from automotive suppliers?
Certivo accepts any format: PDF test reports, Excel data summaries, laboratory certificates, IMDS exports, and proprietary lab report templates. CORA's AI document parsing extracts test results, FPS classifications, emission measurements, and laboratory details regardless of format or language—eliminating the need to standardize supplier inputs across your multi-tier supply chain through automated supplier data collection and centralized supplier self-service portals.
Does Certivo support CS.00054 compliance alongside other OEM EMC standards and regulatory requirements?
Yes. Certivo validates supplier evidence against Stellantis CS.00054/CS.00244 alongside related standards including CS.00056 (environmental qualification), ECE R10 (EU type-approval EMC), EU RoHS, REACH, and PFAS requirements. The same supplier submission is validated against multiple OEM and regulatory frameworks simultaneously through digital passport and traceability systems—eliminating duplicate evidence collection campaigns and enabling centralized compliance data backbone management across all programs.
