European foreword
This document (prEN 15876:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 278, “Intelligent
transport systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This fourth edition of EN 15876 incorporates the following main modifications compared with the
previous version:
⎯ Correction of the superseded references to ESTI EN 300 674 1:2004 , which are replaced by
references to ESTI EN 300 674 2 1:2022, ESTI EN 300 674 2 2:2019 and ETSI TS 104 022:2024;
⎯ Amendments to improve clarity of the document.
Introduction
CEN/TC 278 has produced a set of standards that support interoperable DSRC-EFC-systems e.g.,
EN ISO 14906 (a "toolbox" for defining EFC-application transaction) and EN ISO 14907-2 (EFC
application interface conformance tests for on-board units). However, these standards are only of an
enabling nature and do not ensure technical interoperability. Therefore, EN 15509, Electronic fee
collection ― Interoperability application profile for DSRC was developed to support technical
interoperability between EFC-systems.
This document specifies the test suite structure and the test purposes for conformity evaluation of on-
board and roadside equipment designed for compliance with the requirements of EN 15509. A test
standard for evaluation of conformity of on-board and roadside equipment is a necessary element for
coherent, practical and effective appraisal of products' compliance to EN 15509.
EN 15876 provides the necessary foundation for verification of the implementation of the
interoperability requirements as stated in EN 15509:
— industry is provided with an easy-to-use toolbox for product assessment;
— operators can easily assess conformity to EN 15509 and reference to the standard in tendering
processes;
— authorities and joint undertakings may reference to the test standard when stating interoperability
requirements;
— certification organisations are given an effective tool for certification of products.
1 Scope
This document specifies the test suite structure (TSS) and test purposes (TPs) for evaluation of on-board
equipment (OBE) and roadside equipment (RSE) to EN 15509.
Normative Annex A presents the test purposes for the OBE.
Normative Annex B presents the test purposes for the RSE.
Normative Annex C provides the protocol conformance test report (PCTR) proforma for OBE.
Normative Annex D provides the PCTR proforma for RSE.
