4.TACHOGRAPH CARDS STRUCTURE

This paragraph specifies the file structures of the Tachograph cards for storage of accessible data.

It does not specify card manufacturer dependent internal structures, such as e.g. file headers, nor storage and handling of data elements needed for internal use only such as,, or.

TCS_140A generation 2 tachograph card shall host the Master File MF and a generation 1 and a generation 2 tachograph application of the same type (e.g. driver card applications).
TCS_141A tachograph card shall support at least the minimum number of records specified for the corresponding applications and shall not support more records than the maximum number of records specified for the corresponding applications.

The maximum and minimum numbers of records are specified in this chapter for the different applications.

For the security conditions used in the access rules throughout this chapter please refer to chapter 3.3. In general the access mode ‘read’ denotes the READ BINARY command with even and if supported odd INS byte with the exception of the EF Sensor_Installation_Data on the workshop card, see TCS_156 and TCS_160. The access mode ‘update’ denotes the Update Binary command with even and if supported odd INS byte and the access mode ‘select’ the SELECT command.

4.1. Master File MF
TCS_142After its personalisation, the master file MF shall have the following permanent file structure and file access rules:

Note: The short EF identifier SFID is given as decimal number, e.g. the value 30 corresponds to 11110 in binary.

The following abbreviation for the security condition is used in this table:

SC1

ALW OR SM-MAC-G2

TCS_143All EF structures shall be transparent.
TCS_144The Master File MF shall have the following data structure:

TCS_145The elementary file EF DIR shall contain the following application related data objects: ‘61 08 4F 06 FF 54 41 43 48 4F 61 08 4F 06 FF 53 4D 52 44 54’
TCS_146The elementary file EF ATR/INFO shall be present if the tachograph card indicates in its ATR that it supports extended length fields. In this case the EF ATR/INFO shall contain the extended length information data object (DO‘7F66’) as specified in ISO/IEC 7816-4:2013 clause 12.7.1.
TCS_147The elementary file EF Extended_Length shall be present if the tachograph card indicates in its ATR that it supports extended length fields. In this case the EF shall contain the following data object: ‘02 01 xx’ where the value ‘xx’ indicates whether extended length fields are supported for the T = 1 and / or T = 0 protocol.

The value ‘01’ indicates extended length field support for the T = 1 protocol.

The value ‘10’ indicates extended length field support for the T = 0 protocol.

The value ‘11’ indicates extended length field support for the T = 1 and the T = 0 protocol.
