This appendix specifies the procedures to follow in order to perform the different types of data download to an external storage medium, together with the protocols that must be implemented to assure the correct data transfer and the full compatibility of the downloaded data format to allow any controller to inspect these data and be able to control their authenticity and their integrity before analysing them.
Data may be downloaded to an ESM:
from a vehicle unit by an intelligent dedicated equipment (IDE) connected to the VU,
from a tachograph card by an IDE fitted with a card interface device (IFD),
from a tachograph card via a vehicle unit by an IDE connected to the VU.
