PART I Procedure for verifying the lack of traceability of an eCall in-vehicle system or STU

1.Purpose

1.1.This test procedure is to ensure that a 112-based eCall in-vehicle system or STU is not traceable and is not subject to any constant tracking in its normal operational status.

2.Requirements

2.1.The 112-based eCall in-vehicle system or STU is not available for communication with the PSAP if the PSAP test point initiates the communication.

2.2.Failure to establish the connection can be attributed to the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system not being registered on the network.

3.Test procedure

3.1.The following tests shall be performed on a representative arrangement of parts (without a vehicle body).

3.2.This test shall be performed after successful connection of the eCall IVS with the network and registration of the device so as to facilitate transmission of the MSD.

3.2.1.The initial emergency call must have been ‘cleared down’ and deregistered from the network prior to this test (e.g. hang up), otherwise the PSAP test point will be enabled to connect.
3.2.2.Before performing the test, ensure that:
(a)

one of the connection procedures defined in point 2.7 of Annex I to this Regulation, as agreed between the technical service and the manufacturer, will be applied for any test call;

(b)

the dedicated PSAP test point is available to receive an eCall emitted by the 112-based system;

(c)

the vehicle ignition or master control switch is activated;

(d)

any TPS or added-value service system is disabled.

3.2.3.Leave the 112-based eCall IVS powered.
3.2.4.Via the PSAP test point, attempt to connect to the 112-based eCall IVS.

4.Assessment

4.1.The requirement is determined to have been passed if the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system is not available for communication with the PSAP when the PSAP test point attempts to connect.

4.2.The establishment of connection with the 112-based eCall IVS when the PSAP test point initiates the communication constitutes a failure.
