CEN/TS 15213-6:2011

Road transport and traffic telematics - After-theft services for the recovery of stolen vehicles - Part 6: Test procedures

This document specifies the Test Criteria for after-theft services for the recovery of stolen vehicles (ATSVR), and their control and use with electronic and electromechanical inhibitor control equipment utilising both conventional switched outputs and/or soft-coded outputs of setting and unsetting devices, detectors, warning devices and ancillary equipment, for fitting to vehicles operating on 12/24 V negative earth electrical systems.
The requirements and tests specified in this standard enable reasonable assessment of components performance with regard to safety, reliability, functionality, security and documentation. To provide reproducible test methods and to avoid the proliferation of technically similar test methods, the test procedures have been chosen, where possible, from internationally accepted standards. For specific guidance on these tests, reference is made to the appropriate document. In the context of the test procedures the term "specimen(s)" shall refer to the component or components of the ATSVR under test. To identify the tests that are to be applied to each type of component, reference shall be made to the table 23 in Annex A1.
The document assumes and requires that all other electrical and radio standards relevant to vehicles are complied with and shall take precedent in the event of conflict with any requirement in these ATSVR requirements.
This document is not intended to stifle technical development or prevent the use of new methods of detection, communication or implementation applied to an ATSVR device or system.  
In the event that an ATSVR system uses technology that renders any of the tests contained in this document inappropriate (e.g. a technology that was not envisaged when the standard was developed) then the ‘spirit’ rather than the ‘letter’ of the standard should apply.

Cestna transportna in prometna telematika - Sistemi za odkrivanje ukradenih vozil - 6. del: Preskusni postopki

Ta dokument določa preskusna merila za storitve odkrivanje ukradenih vozil (ATSVR) ter nadzor in uporabo avtomobilov z elektronsko ali elektromehansko opremo za zaviranje nadzora, ki uporablja konvencionalne preklopne izhode in/ali mehko kodirane izhode naprav za nastavitev in razstavitev naprav, detektorjev, opozorilnih naprav in pomožne opreme za vgradnjo v vozila, ki delujejo v 12/24 V negativnih zemeljskih električnih sistemih. Zahteve in preskusi, določeni v tem standardu, omogočajo utemeljeno presojo delovanja sestavnih delov ob upoštevanju varnosti, zanesljivosti, funkcionalnosti, zaščite in dokumentacije. Da bi se zagotovila ponovljiva preskusna metoda in da bi se izognili proliferaciji tehnično podobnih preskusnih metod, so bili, kjer je bilo mogoče, izbrani preskusni postopki iz mednarodno sprejetih standardov. Za posebna navodila pri teh preskusih je podano sklicevanje na ustrezen dokument. V okviru preskusnih postopkov se izraz »vzorec« nanaša na sestavni del ATSVR, ki se preskuša. Za določevanje preskusov, ki bodo uporabljeni za vsak tip sestavnega dela, je podano sklicevanje na preglednico 23 v dodatku A1. Ta dokument predvideva in zahteva, da so vsi drugi električni in radijski standardi, ki se nanašajo na vozila, izpolnjeni in imajo prednost pri nasprotovanju s katero koli zahtevo v teh zahtevah ATSVR. Namen tega dokumenta ni, da zaduši tehnološki razvoj ali prepreči uporabo novih metod zaznavanja, komunikacije ali izvajanja, uporabljenih pri napravi ali sistemu ATSVR. Če sistem ATSVR uporablja tehnologijo, s katero se kateri koli od preskusov, naveden v tem dokumentu, izkaže kot neprimeren (npr. tehnologij ATSVR o, ki ni bila predvidena, ko je standard nastajal), velja »duh« standarda pred »črko« standarda.

Overview

CEN/TS 15213-6:2011 - "Road transport and traffic telematics - After-theft services for the recovery of stolen vehicles - Part 6: Test procedures" - defines standardised test criteria and procedures for After-Theft Services for the Recovery of stolen Vehicles (ATSVR). It covers test methods for electronic and electromechanical inhibitor control equipment, detectors, setting/unsetting devices, warning devices and ancillary equipment intended for vehicles with 12/24 V negative earth electrical systems. The specification emphasises reproducible tests drawn from internationally accepted standards to assess safety, reliability, functionality, security and documentation of ATSVR components. Where novel technologies make specific tests inappropriate, the document recommends applying the spirit of the tests rather than their literal form.

Key topics and requirements

• Test schedule and conditions: defined mounting, orientation and standard atmospheric conditions for reproducible testing.
• Basic and functional tests: functional verification for position-reporting telemetry, tracking devices and optional ignition inhibition functions.
• General mechanical and environmental tests: enclosure protection, resistance to foreign objects, water ingress and impacts.
• Interconnections and connectors: tensile resistance, wiring integrity and resistance to open/short circuits.
• Electrical tests: power supply variation, power reversal, overvoltage, current consumption and standby power capacity.
• Electrical attack and immunity: high electromagnetic field exposure, short/open circuiting of control connections and security against tampering.
• Practical requirements: installation and user instructions, marking, software/firmware control and cyclic reliability of setting/unsetting devices (including wire-free and proximity keys).
• Traceability of tests: reference to Table 23 in Annex A1 to map tests to specific component types; the term "specimen(s)" denotes the component(s) under test.

Applications and who uses it

CEN/TS 15213-6:2011 is intended for:

• Manufacturers of vehicle after-theft systems and telematics hardware validating product safety, reliability and compliance.
• Independent test laboratories performing type and acceptance testing for ATSVR components.
• Vehicle OEMs and fleets assessing supplier components for integration into 12/24 V vehicle platforms.
• Installers and service providers ensuring correct installation, documentation and user instructions meet performance expectations.
• Regulators and procurement teams specifying minimum test criteria for stolen-vehicle recovery services.

Keywords: ATSVR, after-theft services, stolen vehicle recovery, test procedures, CEN/TS 15213-6:2011, vehicle telematics, inhibitor control, functional tests, environmental tests.

Related standards

The specification assumes compliance with other applicable electrical and radio standards (national and international) which take precedence in case of conflict. Test procedures are aligned with internationally accepted test methods (e.g., relevant IEC/ISO/ETSI norms) and reference external documents for specific test guidance.

and their control and use with electronic and electromechanical inhibitor control equipment utilising both
conventional switched outputs and/or soft-coded outputs of setting and unsetting devices, detectors, warning
devices and ancillary equipment, for fitting to vehicles operating on 12/24 V negative earth electrical systems.
The requirements and tests specified in this standard enable reasonable assessment of components
performance with regard to safety, reliability, functionality, security and documentation. To provide
reproducible test methods and to avoid the proliferation of technically similar test methods, the test procedures
have been chosen, where possible, from internationally accepted standards. For specific guidance on these
tests, reference is made to the appropriate document. In the context of the test procedures the term
"specimen(s)" shall refer to the component or components of the ATSVR under test. To identify the tests that
are to be applied to each type of component, reference shall be made to the table 23 in Annex A1.
The document assumes and requires that all other electrical and radio standards relevant to vehicles are
complied with and shall take precedent in the event of conflict with any requirement in these ATSVR
requirements.
This document is not intended to stifle technical development or prevent the use of new methods of detection,
communication or implementation applied to an ATSVR device or system.
In the event that an ATSVR system uses technology that renders any of the tests contained in this document
inappropriate (e.g. a technology that was not envisaged when the standard was developed) then the ‘spirit’
rather than the ‘letter’ of the standard should apply.

4 Test Schedule
The components of the ATSVR and the associated documentation shall be submitted for evaluation to a Test
Establishment or Test House recognised as such by the Standardisation Body of CEN countries.
The Test House shall ensure that any testing does not impact the normal work of an LEA (Law Enforcement
Agency) or SOC (Secure Operating Centre).
5 Test Conditions
5.1 General
During the environmental conditioning, detectors under test shall be shielded from the unwanted effects of
vibration and air movement within the test environment. It is recommended that active technology devices
have their field of view focused on to a non-reflecting surface able to absorb most of the transmitted energy
thus preventing movement within the test apparatus being processed as an alarm stimulus. Care must be
taken to ensure the chosen material does not influence the conditioning during the test.
5.2 Standard Atmospheric Conditions for Testing
The atmospheric conditions in the test laboratory shall be the standard atmospheric conditions for
measurements and tests specified in EN 60068-1, Paragraph 5.3.1, as follows:
Temperature: 15-35 °C
Relative humidity: 25-75 %
Air pressure:  86-106 kPa
5.3 Mounting and Orientation
Unless otherwise specified, the tests shall be performed with the specimen(s) fully assembled and mounted in
an orientation appropriate for their normal use by the means recommended by the manufacturer.
5.4 Electrical Connections
During the tests the specimen(s) shall be connected to the other components of the Vehicle that are
necessary to enable correct operation. Even if a single component part of an ATSVR is to be evaluated, it
shall be tested whilst interconnected to the other associated components to ensure the test conditions are
representative of those in normal use.

Unless specified otherwise, the specimen(s) shall be powered from the nominal supply voltage and shall be
placed in the unset condition, i.e. with the ignition supply present (Ignition switch in the engine running
position).
NOTE Refers to the terminal designation of the Ignition controlled feed as described in DIN 72552.
Where the following test procedures refer to the removal of the ignition supply to simulate the conditions
required to initiate passive setting, it shall represent the ignition switch of a vehicle being turned to the OFF
position. Each output from the specimen(s) shall be connected to suitable monitoring apparatus. Unless the
output device is an electromechanical type relay contact, the output shall be terminated into a suitable load
representative of that in normal use as advised by the manufacturer.
Table 1
Vehicle Supply Nominal Voltage
24 Volts System 24V +/- 0,8 V
12 Volt System 12V +/- 0,4 V
5.5 Connection to Engine Crank Inhibitor (Where relevant to system)
If the system is designed to be connected to an engine crank inhibitor, then during the tests, the specimen
shall be connected to the other components of the ATSVR that are necessary to enable correct operation.
Even if a single part of an ATSVR is to be evaluated, it shall be tested whilst interconnected to the other
associated components to ensure the test conditions are representative of those in normal use.
The Tracking device and inhibitor components shall be configured as intended in the vehicle.
6 Basic Tests
6.1 General
The following basic tests are applied to demonstrate correct operation of the specimen(s) before, after and in
some circumstances during the exposure to the various conditioning influences specified by this test
specification. The selection of the appropriate standard test is determined by the type of component under
evaluation.
The Test House shall include in its report those tests that have been carried out on the components of the
ATSVR and shall state those tests that are not relevant to specific components. The applicability of a specific
test shall not prevent approval of the components of the ATSVR.
This standard is technology and solution agnostic. It does not prescribe the technology to be used.
6.2 Functional Test for ATSVR with Position Reporting Telemetry Features
6.2.1 Object of the Test
To provide a means to evaluate changes in the operation that may occur as a result of exposure to the
environmental influences defined in this specification.

order to avoid false alarms.
 Requested by the test receiving station after a report from the owner.
 The vehicle is started without using the correct unsetting procedure.
The system shall transmit a location report/data/signal within a predetermined time scale after setting. In
the event of a change to the state or location of the vehicle, an alarm signal shall be transmitted to the
test receiving station or in accordance with the system technology so as to achieve a similar result.
b) After a duration of 300 s, unset the system by once again following the procedure described in the
operating instructions and where necessary simulating the operation of the vehicle's electrical system.

otherwise, the specimen(s) shall be fully assembled and secured to a mounting surface via the normal fixing
points recommended by the manufacturer. The following procedure is in accordance with the protection rating
IP4X and shall be applied to both Class 1 and Class 2 components.
The test is to be made with a straight rigid steel wire of 1 (+ 0,05 - 0) mm diameter applied with a force of 1 N
± 10 %. The end of the wire shall be free from burrs and at right angles to its length.
Attempt to insert the steel wire into every accessible hole or gap in the specimen(s) housing.
7.2.2.3 Criteria for Compliance
It shall not be possible to insert the 1 (+ 0,05 - 0) mm steel wire into any hole or gap in the specimen(s)
housing. However, the insertion of the steel wire into the sound outlet apertures of audible warning devices is
permitted provided it is not possible to prevent the sound generator from operating, and provided direct
access cannot be gained to circuit components critical to the operation of the warning device.
7.2.3 Resistance to Water Ingress
7.2.3.1 Object of the Test
To demonstrate that the construction of the specimen(s) housing can prevent the ingress of spraying water in
accordance with the protection rating IPX6 and shall be applied to Class 1 components only.
7.2.3.2 Test Procedures
The following test is to be applied subject to the appropriate class of component. The procedures and
apparatus shall be as defined in EN 60529. Unless specified otherwise, the specimen(s) shall be fully
assembled and secured to a mounting surface via the normal fixing points recommended by the manufacturer.
The specimen(s) shall be sprayed from every practical direction with a stream of water from a standard test
nozzle 12,5 mm in diameter, providing a delivery rate of 100 l/min ± 5 %, in accordance with the procedure
described in paragraph 14.2.6 of EN 60529:1991. The conditioning shall be applied for 10 min.
The specimen(s) shall be un-powered during the conditioning.
After the conditioning, apply the appropriate basic functional test.
Where possible, inspect the specimen(s) visually for signs of water ingress.
7.2.3.3 Criteria for Compliance
Following the visual inspection, there shall be no sign of water ingress into the specimen(s) housing.
Water ingress may be permitted into the sound output chamber of audible warning devices provided the water
has not entered past the diaphragm and into the part of the enclosure housing components critical to the
operation of the device.
The specimen(s) shall function correctly when subjected to the appropriate basic functional test.
7.2.4 Resistance to Impacts
The following test shall be applied to both Class 1 and 2 components.
7.2.4.1 Object of the Test
The object of the test is to demonstrate the immunity of the specimen(s) to mechanical impacts upon the
surface, which it may sustain in the normal service environment and which it can reasonably be expected to
withstand.
7.2.4.2 Test Procedure
7.2.4.2.1 General
The test apparatus and procedure shall be as described in EN 60068-2-75.
Impacts shall be applied to all accessible surfaces of the specimen(s). It shall not, however, be applied to
setting and unsetting devices.
For all such surfaces, three blows shall be applied to any points considered likely to cause damage to or
impair the operation of the specimen(s).
Care should be taken to ensure that the results from one series of three blows do not influence subsequent
series. In case of doubt with regard to the influence of preceding blows, the defect shall be disregarded and a
further three blows shall be applied to the same position on a new specimen(s).
7.2.4.2.2 Initial Examination
Before conditioning, subject the specimen(s) to the appropriate basic functional test.
