Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/79Show full title

PART IV Procedure for verifying the non- exchange of personal data between an eCall in-vehicle system or STU and third party services systems

1. Purpose

1.1. This test procedure shall ensure that the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system or STU and any additional system functionality providing TPS eCall or an added-value service are designed in such a way that no exchange of personal data between them is possible at any time.

2. Requirements

2.1. The following requirements apply to eCall in-vehicle systems or STUs that shall be used in conjunction with a TPS eCall in-vehicle system functionality.

2.2. Performance requirements

2.2.1. There is no exchange of personal data between the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system or STU and any additional system functionality providing TPS eCall or an added-value service.

2.2.2. Following an eCall made via the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system or STU, no log of this eCall shall be recorded in the memory of the TPS eCall or added-value service system.

3. Test procedure

3.1. The following tests shall be performed either on a vehicle with an eCall in-vehicle system installed or on a representative arrangement of parts.

3.2. The TPS system shall be disabled for the duration of the test call.

3.2.1. Before performing the test call, 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)

a false eCall to a genuine PSAP cannot be made over the live network; and

(d)

the vehicle ignition or master control switch is activated.

3.2.2. Perform a test call by applying a manual trigger of the system (push mode) with the TPS disabled.

3.2.3. Verify that a call was established with the PSAP test point by a record of the PSAP test point showing that it received a call initiation signal or by a successful voice connection to the PSAP test point.

3.2.4. Clear down the test call using the appropriate PSAP test point command (e.g. hang up).

3.2.5. If the call attempt of the 112-based system fails during the test, the test procedure may be repeated.

3.3. The lack of a log file in the TPS system shall be verified via access to the part of the system where eCall log files are stored.

3.3.1. The Technical Service tester shall be facilitated with access to where the eCall log files are stored in the IVS. This will involve the potential to download from the IVS any log files so that they can be viewed by the tester.

3.3.2. The requirement is determined to have been passed if no log files are present in the TPS system in-vehicle system memory.

3.3.3. The presence of a log file in the TPS system pertaining to an eCall that has occurred via the 112-based system constitutes a failure.

3.4. Connection procedures

The connection procedures defined in point 2.7 of Annex I to this Regulation shall apply.
