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) (c. 799)

ANNEX I C U.K. Requirements for construction, testing, installation, and inspection

5. INSTALLATION OF RECORDING EQUIPMENT U.K.

5.1 Installation U.K.

(381) New recording equipment shall be delivered non-activated to fitters or vehicle manufacturers, with all calibration parameters, as listed in Chapter 3.21, set to appropriate and valid default values. Where no particular value is appropriate, literal parameters shall be set to strings of ‘?’ and numeric parameters shall be set to ‘0’. Delivery of security relevant parts of the recording equipment can be restricted if required during security certification. U.K.

(382) Before its activation, the recording equipment shall give access to the calibration function even if not in calibration mode. U.K.

(383) Before its activation, the recording equipment shall neither record nor store data referred by points 3.12.3, 3.12.9 and 3.12.12 to 3.12.15 inclusive. U.K.

(384) During installation, vehicle manufacturers shall pre-set all known parameters. U.K.

(385) Vehicle manufacturers or fitters shall activate the installed recording equipment at the latest before the vehicle is used in scope of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006. U.K.

(386) The activation of the recording equipment shall be triggered automatically by the first insertion of a valid workshop card in either of its card interface devices. U.K.

(387) Specific pairing operations required between the motion sensor and the vehicle unit, if any, shall take place automatically before or during activation. U.K.

(388) In a similar way, specific coupling operations between the external GNSS facility and the vehicle unit, if any, shall take place automatically before or during activation. U.K.

(389) After its activation, the recording equipment shall fully enforce functions and data access rights. U.K.

(390) After its activation, the recording equipment shall communicate to the remote communication facility the secured data necessary for the purpose of targeted roadside checks. U.K.

(391) The recording and storing functions of the recording equipment shall be fully operational after its activation. U.K.

(392) Installation shall be followed by a calibration. The first calibration may not necessarily include entry of the vehicle registration number (VRN), when it is not known by the approved workshop having to undertake this calibration. In these circumstances, it shall be possible, for the vehicle owner, and at this time only, to enter the VRN using his Company Card prior to using the vehicle in scope of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 (e.g by using commands through an appropriate menu structure of the vehicle unit's man-machine interface.)(1). Any update or confirmation of this entry shall only be possible using a Workshop Card. U.K.

(393) The installation of an external GNSS facility requires the coupling with the vehicle unit and the subsequent verification of the GNSS position information. U.K.

(394) The recording equipment must be positioned in the vehicle in such a way as to allow the driver to access the necessary functions from his seat. U.K.
