scope:

This Technical Specification specifies the test procedures of EFC road-side equipment (RSE) and on-board equipment (OBE) with regard to the conformance to standards and requirements for type approval and acceptance testing which is within the realm of EFC application specifically. The scope of this Technical Specification is restricted to systems operating within the radio emission, EMC regulations, traffic and other regulations of the countries in which they are operated and it is therefore a requirement that all required equipment approvals from an authenticated and accredited test house have been obtained in order to claim compliance. This Technical Specification identifies a set of suitable parameter and provides test procedures to enable the proof of a complete EFC system as well as components of an EFC system e.g. OBE related to the defined requirements of an application. The defined parameter and tests are assigned to the following groups of parameter:;Functionality;;Quality;;Referenced pre-tests. An overview of the tests and parameters provided by this Technical Specification is given in 5.1 and 5.2. OBU conformance testing against EN ISO 14906 (EFC- Application interface definition for DSRC) is covered by CEN ISO/TS 14907-2 (Part 2 of this Technical Specification). The Technical Specification describes procedures, methods and tools and a test plan which enables to show the relation between all tests and the sequence of these tests. It lists all tests which are required to measure the performance of EFC equipment. The Technical Specification describes which EFC-equipment is covered by the test procedures; the values of the parameters to be tested are not included. It describes also how the tests are to be performed and which tools and pre-requisites are necessary before this series of tests are undertaken. It is assumed that the security of the system is inherent in the communications and EFC functionality tests and are thus not addressed specifically here. All tests in this Technical Specification provide instructions to evaluate the test results. The test procedures can be used for prototype testing, type approvals, test of installations and periodic inspections. Thus this Part 1 is a Technical Specification that defines only the test and test procedures, not the benchmark figures that these are to be measured against. Related to a conceptual model of an EFC system this Technical Specification relates only to the equipment of the user and the service provider as illustrated in Figure 1. Any other entities are outside the scope of this Technical Specification.
