Draft summary

This document describes the key actors in the eCall chain of service provision in hybrid circuit switched/packet switched network environments as: 1) In-Vehicle System (IVS)/vehicle, 2) Mobile Network Operator (MNO), 3) Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), and to provide conformance tests for actor groups 1) – 3). NOTE 1 Conformance tests are not appropriate nor required for vehicle occupants, although they are the recipient of the service. NOTE 2 Third party eCall systems (TPS-eCall) are not within the scope of this deliverable. This is because the core TPS-eCall standard (EN 16102) does not specify the communications link between the vehicle and the TPS service provider. NOTE 3 These conformance tests are partly based on the appropriate conformance tests from EN 16454 and CEN/prEN 17240. This deliverable therefore adapts and revises Conformance Test Protocols (CTP) from EN 16454 and CEN/prEN 17240 for hybrid circuit switched/packet switched network environments. This document complements EN 16454 and CEN/prEN 17240 and provides a suite of conformance tests for IVS equipment, MNOs and PSAPs, required to ensure and demonstrate compliance with CEN/prEN 17905. The scope covers conformance testing of new engineering developments, products and systems, and does not imply testing associated with individual installations in vehicles or locations.
