FOREWORD

1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international

co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and

in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,

Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their

preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with

may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising

with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for

Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.

2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

interested IEC National Committees.

3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

misinterpretation by any end user.

4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between

any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

services carried out by independent certification bodies.

6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.

8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent

rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

5.2.3 Applying a simulated accident event

The simulated road accident event is generated using one of the following two methods.

a) Using the event data recording function with the recording button on the EVDR: If an

event data recording function is available with any kind of switching button, the simulation

test can be conducted without applying acceleration.

b) Using the acceleration-generating equipment: The following acceleration is generated

and applied to the EVDR system.

• A triangular waveform is generated, with a peak acceleration of 2 g lasting for at least

50 ms (t shall be longer than 50 ms) and the acceleration and deceleration period, t ,

2 1
shall occur within 10 s.
5.2.4 Simulating multiple collision events

The acceleration-generating equipment shall be employed to generate acceleration for the

multiple collision event test.

• A triangular waveform is generated, with a peak acceleration of 2 g lasting for at least 50 ms

(t shall be longer than 50 ms) and the acceleration and deceleration period, t , shall occur

2 1
within 10 s.
5.3 Evaluating performance of storing acceleration

The acceleration storing performance shall be assessed beforehand for the simulation test with

acceleration generated by the acceleration-generating equipment.

• A triangular waveform is generated, with a peak acceleration of 1,5 g lasting for at least

50 ms (t shall be longer than 50 ms). The acceleration and deceleration period, t , shall

2 1
occur within 10 s.

The vector sum of a and a stored in the EVDR shall have the maximum value within the range

x y
of 1,2 g to 1,8 g for the compatibility of the event data.
5.4 Test conditions

Only the main body of the EVDR is subjected to the conditions listed below. If the GNSS receiver

and/or video acquisition devices have been separately installed, the conditions do not apply to

the external input devices.

• The DC voltage for operation specified in Table 1 shall be supplied to the EVDR under test.

Table 1 – DC voltage for operation of the subject
DC voltage for operation Test voltage
V V
12 13,5 ± 0,5
24 27,0 ± 1,0
24 V conditions shall be applied if the device covers both 12 V and 24 V.
• If more than one EVDR device with same model number are under test at one test

organization, it may apply the simulated accident event only one time to one of those devices.

There are many tests in this document, so the EVDR manufacturer can submit more than

one EVDR device at one time in order to conduct different tests simultaneously, thereby

reducing the overall duration of the tests.

6 Evaluation of performance of the EVDR
6.1 Evaluating the performance of power component
6.1.1 Overvoltage test
The evaluation procedures for the overvoltage test are as follows:
a) Apply the simulated accident described in 5.2.3 to the EVDR under test.
b) Check the recorded event video data from the EVDR.

c) After connecting the input device and the EVDR under test, apply DC voltage 1,5 times

higher than the normal operating voltage for 60 min. The DC voltage values are given in

Table 1.

d) After the procedure c), the system shall be checked to verify whether the recorded event

video data remains as it was recorded in the procedure b). The EVDR is considered to have

passed the overvoltage test if the system has preserved the recorded event video data as

it was recorded in the procedure b).
6.1.2 Protection from power failure and of event data recording time

Even when the power supply to the EVDR is cut for 15 days after normal operation, the recorded

event video data shall be preserved in a sound state.
a) Set the internal clock of the EVDR under test to the present time.

b) Cut off the electric power to the EVDR under test after applying a simulated accident event

two times as described in 5.2.3.

c) After 15 days, the EVDR under test shall resume normal operation. The event video data

recorded previously shall be checked to verify whether it remains as it was recorded.

d) The difference between the points in time when the simulated accident event is applied and

the event video data is recorded shall be less than 1 s for two events.

e) The internal clock of the EVDR shall continue operation even when the power supply is cut.

The error in time indication of the EVDR shall be less than 1 min.
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
IEC 63005-2:2019 © IEC 2019 – 9 –

NOTE Item e) implies that the error in time indication of systems with the backup power supply operating the

internal clock also needs to be less than 1 min.
6.1.3 Prevention of vehicle battery from complete discharge (applicable to
continuously recording EVDR only)

EVDRs capable of continuous recording shall be equipped with a complete discharge

prevention function to protect vehicle batteries.

EVDRs with continuous recording capability are usually connected to vehicle’s battery all the

time. So, these EVDRs shall be able to record the event video data even when the vehicle is in

ignition condition.

Any test organization shall check whether the EVDR cuts the power off when the DC voltage of

the battery reaches less than 90 % (10,8 V for 12 V or 21,6 V for 24 V). If an effective discharge

prevention technology other than detection of voltage drop has been applied and verified by

relevant testing organizations, the test described below can be skipped.

a) Input voltages of 10,4 V and 10,0 V shall each be applied twice for the 12 V EVDR system

(20,8 V and 20 V shall be applied for 24 V system).

b) After 1 min, check if the power consumption by the EVDR has been stopped. At this point,

the leakage current shall be less than 10 mA. After the test, the EVDR shall function normally.

6.1.4 Tests on conducted emission, radiated emission, and radiated immunity

Tests on conducted emission, radiated emission, and radiated immunity shall comply with the

radio waves act (electromagnetic compatibility) of each country.
6.2 Vehicle dynamics data and other performance

The EVDR shall be checked to verify that it satisfies the performance indicators described in

6.2 of IEC 63005-1:2017.

a) Audio shall remain unrecorded even if the EVDR has an audio recording function that can

be disabled.

b) Using the acceleration-generating equipment, apply the acceleration described in 5.2.4 on

the EVDR under test three times to simulate multiple collision events. The interval between

acceleration application shall be greater than 10 min.

c) Using the acceleration-generating equipment, apply the acceleration described in 5.3 on the

EVDR under test two times to simulate multiple collision events. The interval between

acceleration application shall be greater than 10 min.

d) The maximum value of vector sum of recorded acceleration data a and a shall be within

x y

the range of 1,2 g to 1,8 g. The EVDR under test shall meet this criterion at least one time

out of 2 attempts.

e) The EVDR under test shall be checked to verify if all the mandatory event data have been

properly stored.

1) The output values through the suggested interface of the EVDR products shall include

time when event data was recorded, front camera image, acceleration a , and
. The recorded data including video, acceleration a and acceleration a
acceleration a
y x y

shall be verified through a dedicated software program suggested by the manufacturer.

The means for verifying recorded data shall be described in the product manual.

2) The stored event video data shall be checked to verify that it contains 3 sets of recorded

event data.

3) Recorded event video data shall be inspected if proper time synchronization among them

is possible.

4) The sampling frequency of a and a to be recorded shall be greater or equal to 20 Hz.
