3.20 Output data to additional external devices U.K.

[F1 (200) The recording equipment may also be equipped with standardised interfaces allowing the data recorded or produced by tachograph to be used in operational or calibration mode, by an external facility. U.K.

In Appendix 13, an optional ITS interface is specified and standardized. Other vehicle unit interfaces may co-exist, provided they fully comply with the requirements of Appendix 13 in term of minimum list of data, security and driver consent.

The driver consent doesn’t apply to data transmitted by the recording equipment to the vehicle network. In case the personal data injected in the vehicle network are further processed outside the vehicle network, it is the responsibility of the vehicle manufacturer to have that personal data process compliant with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ( ‘ General Data Protection Regulation ’ ).

The driver consent doesn’t apply either to tachograph data downloaded to a remote company (requirement 193), as this scenario is monitored by the company card access right.

The following requirements apply to ITS data made available through that interface:

• these data are a set of selected existing data from the tachograph data dictionary (Appendix 1),

• a subset of these selected data are marked ‘ personal data ’ ,

• the subset of ‘ personal data ’ is only available if the verifiable consent of the driver, accepting his personal data can leave the vehicle network, is enabled,

• At any moment, the driver consent can be enabled or disabled through commands in the menu, provided the driver card is inserted,

• the set and subset of data will be broadcasted via Bluetooth wireless protocol in the radius of the vehicle cab, with a refresh rate of 1 minute,

• the pairing of the external device with the ITS interface will be protected by a dedicated and random PIN of at least 4 digits, recorded in and available through the display of each vehicle unit,

• in any circumstances, the presence of the ITS interface cannot disturb or affect the correct functioning and the security of the vehicle unit.

Other data may also be output in addition to the set of selected existing data, considered as the minimum list, provided they cannot be considered as personal data.

The recording equipment shall have the capacity to communicate the driver consent status to other platforms in the vehicle network.

When the ignition of the vehicle is ON, these data shall be permanently broadcasted.]

Textual Amendments

F1 Substituted by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/502 of 28 February 2018 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/799 laying down the requirements for the construction, testing, installation, operation and repair of tachographs and their components (Text with EEA relevance).

(201) The serial link interface as specified in Annex 1B to Regulation (EEC) No. 3821/85, as last amended, can continue to equip tachographs for back compatibility. Anyhow, the driver consent is still required in case personal data are transmitted. U.K.
