Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/799 of 18 March 2016 implementing Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the requirements for the construction, testing, installation, operation and repair of tachographs and their components (Text with EEA relevance)

4.TACHOGRAPH CARDS FUNCTIONAL TESTS

Tests according to this Section 4,

  • no. 5 ‘Protocol tests’,

  • no. 6 ‘Card structure’ and

  • no. 7 ‘Functional tests’

can be performed by the evaluator or certifier during the Common Criteria (CC) security certification process for the chip module.

Tests number 2.3 and 4.2 are the same. These are the mechanical tests of the combination card body and chip module. If one of these components (card body, chip module) is changed, then these tests are necessary.
