COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/78
of 15 July 2016
establishing administrative provisions for the EC type-approval of motor vehicles with respect to their 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems and uniform conditions for the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2015/758 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the privacy and data protection of users of such systems
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2015/758 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2015 concerning type-approval requirements for the deployment of the eCall in-vehicle system based on the 112 service and amending Directive 2007/46/EC (1), and in particular Article 6(13) and Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EU) 2015/758 lays down a general obligation for new types of vehicles of categories M1 and N1 to be equipped with 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems as of 31 March 2018. |
(2) |
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/79 (2) lays down the specific technical requirements and test procedures for the EC type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to their 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems, as well as for EC type-approval of the 112-based eCall in-vehicle Separate Technical Units (‘STUs’) and 112-based eCall in-vehicle system components. |
(3) |
Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) establishes the general framework for EC type-approval of motor vehicles and defines the roles and responsibilities of all the actors involved at different stages of the approval process. In addition, it is necessary to set out the specific administrative provisions for the EC type-approval of motor vehicles fitted with 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems, 112-based in-vehicle STUs and components. |
(4) |
To ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of the test procedures for EC type-approval and to simplify the application for that approval, a standardised set of information documents, templates for EC type-approval certificates and models for the EC type-approval mark should be established. |
(5) |
Manufacturers should ensure that the 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems are not traceable and not subject to any constant tracking. For that purpose, it should be ensured that the 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems are not available for communication in their normal operational status and that the data in their internal memory is not available outside the systems to any entities before the eCall is triggered. Manufacturers should also implement adequate safeguards to protect the security of the data in the internal memory of the system from unauthorized access or misuse. |
(6) |
Any data processed through the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system must be adequate, relevant and proportionate to the purposes for which those data are collected and processed. |
(7) |
Consumers should be provided with comprehensive and reliable information regarding the functioning of the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system and in particular on the way data is processed through that system and how that data is protected. Consumers should be also informed about the characteristics and features of any private emergency service or other added value services, if fitted in the motor vehicle. |
(8) |
A consistent approach on the information to be provided to the consumers on the functioning of the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system requires that a user information template is established which contains the minimum information to be provided together with the vehicle's technical documentation. |
(9) |
Vehicle manufacturers should be given sufficient time to adapt to the technical requirements for the approval of 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems. The Member States should also be given sufficient time to deploy on their territory the Public Safety Answering Point (‘PSAP’) infrastructure required for the proper receipt and handling of eCalls. For that reason, the date of application of this Regulation should be the same as the date of compulsory application of the 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2015/758. |
(10) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are consulted with the European Data Protection Supervisor in accordance with Article 28(2) of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). |
(11) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee — Motor Vehicles, |

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2017/79
of 12 September 2016
establishing detailed technical requirements and test procedures for the EC type-approval of motor vehicles with respect to their 112-based eCall in-vehicles systems, of 112-based eCall in-vehicle separate technical units and components and supplementing and amending Regulation (EU) 2015/758 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the exemptions and applicable standards
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2015/758 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2015 concerning type-approval requirements for the deployment of the eCall in-vehicle system based on the 112 service and amending Directive 2007/46/EC (1), and in particular Article 2(2), Article 5(8) and (9) and Article 6(12) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EU) 2015/758 lays down a general obligation for new types of vehicles of categories M1 and N1 to be equipped with 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems as of 31 March 2018. |
(2) |
It is necessary to set out the detailed technical requirements and test procedures for the approval of motor vehicles with respect to their 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems. The test procedures also allow for testing and approval of 112-based eCall in-vehicle separate technical units (‘STUs’) and components intended for fitment in motor vehicles or for integration in 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems. |
(3) |
Tests should be carried out by technical services in their capacity as foreseen in Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) that establishes the general framework for the EC type-approval of motor vehicles and defines the roles and responsibilities of all the actors involved at different stages of the approval process. |
(4) |
Tests and requirements should be designed in such a way that duplicated testing is avoided. In addition, some flexibility is required regarding special purpose vehicles that are built in multiple stages in accordance with Directive 2007/46/EC as they are exempted from the frontal and lateral collision requirements under UNECE Regulations 94 and 95. For that reason, the approval granted at a previous stage of the process to the base vehicle with respect to the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system should remain valid, unless the system or its sensors were modified after the approval. |
(5) |
There are cases where certain classes of vehicles cannot for technical reasons be fitted with an appropriate eCall triggering mechanism and should be exempted from the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2015/758. Following an assessment of the costs and benefits carried out by the Commission and taking into account the relevant safety and technical aspects, those classes of vehicles are identified and included in a list established in Annex IX. |
(6) |
The 112-based eCall in-vehicle system needs to remain functional after a severe accident. An automatic eCall is most beneficial in a high-severity collision where the risk of occupants of the vehicle being incapacitated and not able to call for assistance without an eCall system is highest. The 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems, components and STUs should therefore be tested to verify their sustained functionality after being subjected to inertial loads similar to those that may occur during a severe vehicle crash. |
(7) |
The post-crash functioning and automatic triggering of the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system should also be ensured at vehicle level. A full-scale impact test procedure should therefore be set out to verify that the vehicle is constructed in such a way that its 112-based eCall in-vehicle system survives a frontal and side collision in its original mounting situation and configuration. |
(8) |
The core functionality of a 112-based eCall in-vehicle system is not only to notify the Public Safety Answering Point (‘PSAP’) of an accident, but also to establish a voice connection between occupants of the vehicle and a PSAP operator. The audio equipment of the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system should therefore be tested after the full-scale crash tests to guarantee that it does not suffer loudness reduction or distortions that make voice communication impossible. |
(9) |
Where a 112-based eCall in-vehicle system is approved for use in conjunction with a system providing third party services (‘TPS system’), it should be ensured that only one of those systems is active at a time and that the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system is triggered automatically when the TPS system does not function. The manufacturer of vehicles fitted with 112-based eCall in-vehicle system and TPS system should explain the fall-back procedure built-in the TPS system and describe the principles of the changeover mechanism between the TPS system and the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system. |
(10) |
To ensure the provision of accurate and reliable position information, the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system should be able to use the positioning services provided by the Galileo and the EGNOS systems. |
(11) |
The 112-based eCall in-vehicle system should warn the occupants of a vehicle in the event the system is unable to execute an emergency call. A procedure should therefore be set out for the verification of the self-testing of the system and of its compliance with the malfunction indication requirements. |
(12) |
Manufacturers should ensure that the 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems are not traceable and not subject to any constant tracking. For that purpose, a test procedure should be set out to verify that the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system is not available for communication with the PSAP before the eCall is triggered. |
(13) |
Any data processed through the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system must be adequate, relevant and proportionate to the purposes for which those data are collected and processed. To that end, appropriate procedures should be laid down to verify that the data in the internal memory of the system are automatically and continuously removed and are not retained longer than necessary for the purpose of handling the emergency call. |
(14) |
The versions of the applicable standards on which the requirements for eCall are based should be updated. |
(15) |
Vehicle manufacturers should be given sufficient time to adapt to the technical requirements for the approval of 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems. The Member States should also be given sufficient time to deploy on their territory the PSAP infrastructure required for the proper receipt and handling of emergency calls. For that reason, the date of application of this Regulation should be the same as the date of compulsory application of the 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2015/758, |

ANNEX I
Technical requirements and procedures for testing the resistance of eCall in-vehicle systems to severe crashes (high-severity deceleration test)
1. Requirements
1.1. Performance requirements
1.1.1. The high-severity deceleration test of eCall in-vehicle systems, STUs and components, carried out in accordance with point 2, shall be considered satisfactory if the following requirements are demonstrated post-deceleration/acceleration event.
1.1.2. MSD emission and encoding: The eCall system or representative arrangement shall be able to successfully transmit an MSD to a PSAP test point.
1.1.3. Incident time determination: The eCall system or representative arrangement shall be able to determine an up-to-date timestamp for an eCall incident.
1.1.4. Position determination: The eCall system or representative arrangement shall be able to determine accurately the up-to-date vehicle location.
1.1.5. Mobile network connectivity: The eCall system or representative arrangement shall be able to connect to and transmit data via the mobile network.
2. Test procedure
2.1. Purpose of the high-severity deceleration test procedure
The purpose of this test is to verify the sustained functionality of the 112-based eCall system after being subjected to inertial loads which may occur during a severe vehicle crash.
2.2. The following tests shall be performed on a representative arrangement of parts (without a vehicle body).
2.2.1. A representative arrangement shall include all parts required by the eCall system to successfully populate and transmit the MSD in an eCall.
2.2.2. This shall include the control module and the power source and any other parts required to perform the test eCall.
2.2.3. This shall include the external antenna for mobile communication.
2.2.4. The wiring harness may be represented only by the relevant connectors (connected to the tested components) and a length of wire. The length of the wiring harness and its eventual fixation can be decided by the manufacturer in agreement with the technical service referred to in Article 3(31) of Directive 2007/46/EC so that it is representative for the different installation configurations of the eCall system.
2.3. Deceleration/acceleration procedure
2.3.1. The following conditions shall apply:
(a) |
The test shall be conducted at an ambient temperature of 20 ± 10 °C. |
(b) |
At the beginning of the test, the power supply shall be charged sufficiently to allow performing the subsequent verification tests. |
2.3.2. The tested parts shall be connected to the test fixture by the intended mountings provided for the purpose of attaching them to a vehicle. If the intended mountings of the power source are specifically designed to break in order to release the power source in an impact event, they shall not be included in the test. The technical service shall verify that such release in a real-life high-severity crash event shall not impair the functionality of the system (e.g. no disconnection from the power source).
2.3.3. If additional brackets or fixtures are used as part of the deceleration/acceleration facility, these shall provide a sufficiently rigid connection to the deceleration/acceleration facility to not affect the outcome of the test.
2.3.4. The eCall system shall be decelerated or accelerated in compliance with the pulse corridor that is specified in the Table and Figure. The acceleration/deceleration shall be measured at a rigid part of the deceleration/acceleration facility and filtered at CFC-60.
2.3.5. The test pulse shall be within the minimum and maximum values as specified in the Table. The maximum velocity change ΔV shall be 70 km/h [+ 0/– 2 km/h]. However, if with the agreement of the manufacturer, the test was performed at a higher acceleration or deceleration level, a higher ΔV and/or longer duration the test shall be considered satisfactory.
2.3.6. The parts referred to in point 2.2 shall be tested in a worst case configuration. Their position and orientation on the sled shall correspond to the installation recommendations of the manufacturer and shall be indicated in the type-approval certificate issued under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/78.

2.4. Verification procedure
2.4.1. Verify that no cable connectors were unplugged during the event.
2.4.2. The performance requirements shall be verified by performing a test call using the power source subjected to the high-severity deceleration.
2.4.3. Before performing the test call, ensure that:
(a) |
the eCall system receives (real or simulated) GNSS signals to an extent representative of open sky conditions; |
(b) |
the eCall system has had sufficient time in a powered state to achieve a GNSS position fix; |
(c) |
one of the connection procedures defined in point 2.7, as agreed between the technical service and the manufacturer, will be applied for any test call; |
(d) |
the dedicated PSAP test point is available to receive an eCall emitted by the 112-based system; |
(e) |
a false eCall to a genuine PSAP cannot be made over the live network; and |
(f) |
if applicable, the TPS system is deactivated or will automatically switch to the 112-based system. |
2.4.4. Perform a test call (push mode) by applying a trigger according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
2.4.5. Verify each of the following items:
(a) |
Verify that an MSD was received by the PSAP test point. This shall be verified by a record of the PSAP test point showing that an MSD emitted from the eCall system following the trigger was received and successfully decoded. If the MSD decoding failed at redundancy version MSD rv0 but was successful at a higher redundancy version or in robust modulator mode, as defined in ETSI/TS 126 267, this is acceptable. |
(b) |
Verify that the MSD contained an up-to-date timestamp. This shall be verified by a test record showing that the timestamp contained in the MSD received by the PSAP test point does not deviate from the exact recorded time of the trigger activation by more than 60 seconds. The transmission may be repeated if the eCall system failed to achieve a GNSS position fix before the test. |
(c) |
Verify that the MSD contained an accurate, up-to-date location. This shall be verified in accordance with the Vehicle Location Test Procedure as defined in point 2.5 by a test record showing that the deviation between IVS location and true location, d_IVS, is less than 150 metres and the confidence bit transmitted to the PSAP test point indicates 'position can be trusted'. |
2.4.6. Clear down the test call using the appropriate PSAP test point command (e.g. hang up).
2.5. Positioning test procedure
2.5.1. The sustained functionality of the GNSS components shall be verified by comparing the location input and the location output of the system.
2.5.2. The ‘IVS location’ (φIVS, λIVS) shall be: The location contained in an MSD transmitted to a PSAP test point while the GNSS antenna is in open sky conditions (real or simulated).
2.5.3. The ‘true location’ (φtrue, λtrue) shall be:
(a) |
the actual location of the GNSS antenna (known location or determined with another means than the eCall system), when using real GNSS signals; or |
(b) |
the simulated location, when using simulated GNSS signals. |
2.5.4. The deviation between IVS location and true location, dIVS shall be calculated using the following equations:
|
Δφ = φIVS – φtrue |
|
Δλ = λIVS – λtrue |
|
|
|
|
where:
Δφ: Difference in latitude (in radian)
Δλ: Difference in longitude (in radian)
Note:; 1 mas = 4,8481368 · 10– 9 rad
φm : Mean latitude (in unit suitable for the cosine calculation)
R: Radius of the earth (mean) = 6 371 009 metres
2.5.5. The positioning test procedure may be repeated if the eCall system failed to achieve a GNSS position fix before the test.
2.6. Antenna test procedure
2.6.1. If the connection procedure applied for the test call did not make use of over-the-air data transmission, the sustained functionality of the mobile network antenna shall be verified by checking the antenna tuning status after the deceleration event according to the following procedure.
2.6.2. Measure the voltage standing wave ratio,, of the external mobile network antenna after the deceleration event at a frequency within the antenna's specified frequency band.
2.6.2.1. The measurement shall be performed with a power meter, antenna analyser or SWR meter as close as possible to the antenna feed point.
2.6.2.2. If a power meter is used, shall be calculated using the following equation:
where:
Pf : Forward measured power
Pr : Reverse/reflected measured power
2.6.3. Verify that satisfies the specifications prescribed by the manufacturer for new antennas.
2.7. Connection procedures
2.7.1. Simulated Mobile Network Procedure

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION (EU) 2017/84
of 16 January 2017
on the monitoring of mineral oil hydrocarbons in food and in materials and articles intended to come into contact with food
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 292 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) are chemical compounds derived mainly from crude oil, but also produced synthetically from coal, natural gas and biomass. MOH can be present in food through environmental contamination, lubricants for machinery used during harvesting and food production, processing aids, food additives and food contact materials. Food grade MOH products are treated in a way that the mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH) content is minimised. |
(2) |
In 2012 the Scientific Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM Panel) of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded (1) that the potential human health impact of groups of substances among the MOH vary widely. MOAH may act as genotoxic carcinogens, while some mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) can accumulate in human tissue and may cause adverse effects in the liver. As some MOAH are considered mutagenic and carcinogenic, it is important to organise monitoring of MOH to better understand the relative presence of MOSH and MOAH in food commodities that are major contributors to dietary exposure. |
(3) |
As migration from food contact materials such as paper and board packaging is suspected to contribute significantly to the total exposure, monitoring should include pre-packaged food, the packaging material and the presence of functional barriers, and equipment used for storage and processing. Certain parameters may increase the migration of MOH from packaging into food, such as storage time and storage conditions. As MOH are easier to detect in high quantities, the sampling strategy should take account of such parameters when their migration is highest. |
(4) |
To ensure reliability of the obtained analytical data, Member States should ensure the availability of suitable analytical equipment and gain sufficient experience in the analysis of MOH both in food and in food contact materials before generating analytical results. |
(5) |
To ensure the uniform application of this recommendation, the European Union Reference Laboratory for Food Contact Materials (EU-RL) should provide further guidance to the competent authorities of the Member States and other interested parties, including guidance on information that could be collected during investigations as well as methods of sampling and analysis, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS RECOMMENDATION:
1. |
Member States should, with the active involvement of food business operators as well as manufacturers, processors and distributors of food contact materials and other interested parties, monitor the presence of MOH in food during 2017 and 2018. The monitoring should cover animal fat, bread and rolls, fine bakery ware, breakfast cereals, confectionery (including chocolate) and cocoa, fish meat, fish products (canned fish), grains for human consumption, ices and desserts, oilseeds, pasta, products derived from cereals, pulses, sausages, tree nuts, vegetable oils, as well as food contact materials used for those products. |
2. |
To ensure uniform application of this recommendation and in order to generate reliable and comparable results of the monitoring, specific guidance developed by the EU-RL in the context of this Recommendation (‘the guidance’) should be followed. As such guidance does not exist yet, the Member States should collaborate with the EU-RL to jointly develop that guidance in accordance with their needs for developing analytical capabilities. |
3. |
Member States should perform food sampling in accordance with the provisions laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 333/2007 (2). Sampling should include a proportionate number of pre-packaged foods. Sampling of food contact materials should be carried out in accordance with the best practices appropriate for specific materials or articles as reflected in the guidance. Further possible sources of MOH related to the use of other food contact materials in the supply chain, such as during storage or processing, should be investigated where there is a clear indication that these are contributing to the presence of MOH. The sampling of pre-packaged food should focus on commodities that are closer to the end of the minimum date of durability, and where storage or processing takes place at relatively warm conditions. |
4. |
The samples should be analysed as marketed. For pre-packaged food, the level of mineral oil hydrocarbons should be determined both in the food and in the food contact material if that is the suspected source of detected MOH. Particular attention should be paid to the differences between MOSH and MOAH and to the interpretation of the analytical results to ensure that the generated data are reliable and comparable. Member States which intend to analyse the presence of MOSH and MOAH in foods and food contact materials may request technical assistance of the EU-RL for Food Contact Materials. |
5. |
Where MOH are detected in food, Member States should carry out further investigations in the food business establishments in order to determine the possible source or sources. The investigations should, wherever possible, cover the systems operated by the food business operator that could affect or control contamination (e.g. production and processing methods, Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) or similar systems or measures implemented to prevent such presence). |
6. |
Where MOH are detected in or originate from food contact materials, Member States should collect data on the food contact material (e.g. type and composition of the packaging material, presence of functional barrier, shelf life of the packaged food) and carry out further investigations in the establishments of the manufacturers, processors and distributors of food contact materials to establish the systems operated by the businesses concerned (e.g. production and processing methods of food contact material, and documentation required under Commission Regulation (EC) No 2023/2006 (3) on good manufacturing practices) as indicated in the guidance. |
7. |
Member States, food business operators, manufacturers, processors and distributors of food contact materials and other interested parties should provide to EFSA the monitoring data expressed on whole mass basis with the information and in the electronic reporting format as set out by EFSA for compilation into a single database. They should preferably provide the monitoring data by 1 October 2017 and subsequently by 1 October 2018. The last results should be provided by 28 February 2019. Potentially available occurrence data from 2016 that has not yet been provided should be transmitted in accordance with the same modalities at the earliest opportunity. |
