Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a
technical committee may decide to publish other types of document:
— an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between technical experts in
an ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is approved by more than 50 % of the members
of the parent committee casting a vote;
— an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical
committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee
casting a vote.
An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a
further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is
confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an
International Standard or be withdrawn.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/TS 16401-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 204, Intelligent transport systems, in
collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 278, Road transport and traffic telematics.
ISO/TS 16401 consists of the following parts, under the general title Electronic fee collection — Evaluation of
equipment for conformity to ISO/TS 17575-2:
— Part 1: Test suite structure and test purposes
— Part 2: Abstract test suite

Introduction
This part of ISO/TS 16401 is part of a set of standards that supports interoperability of autonomous EFC-
systems, which includes ISO/TS 17575 parts 1 to 4 that define the EFC context data, their charge reports and
their use of communication infrastructure.
Within the suite of EFC standards this conformance evaluation procedure defines the process and tests for
conformity evaluation of Front End Communications API and Front End application that comply with the
requirements in ISO/TS 17575-2.
This part of ISO/TS 16401 is intended to
⎯ assess Front End Communications API and Front End application capabilities,
⎯ assess Front End Communications API and Front End application behaviour,
⎯ serve as a guide for Front End Communications API and Front End application conformance evaluation
and type approval,
⎯ achieve comparability between the results of the corresponding tests applied in different places at
different times, and
⎯ facilitate communications between parties.

This part of ISO/TS 16401 is based on
⎯ ISO/TS 17575-2, and
⎯ the ISO/IEC 9646 family of standards on conformance test methodology.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ISO/TS 16401-1:2012(E)

Electronic fee collection — Evaluation of equipment for
conformity to ISO/TS 17575-2 —
Part 1:
Test suite structure and test purposes
1 Scope
This part of ISO/TS 16401 specifies the test suite structure (TSS) and test purposes (TP) to evaluate the
conformity of Front End Communications API and Front End application to ISO/TS 17575-2.
The objective of this part of ISO/TS 16401 is to provide a basis for conformance tests for Front Ent
Communications API and Front End application in Electronic Fee Collection based on autonomous on-board
equipment (OBE) to enable interoperability between different equipment supplied by different manufacturers.
This part of ISO/TS 16401 covers the test purposes for Front End Communications API covering
functionalities related to instance handling, session handling, communication service primitives (i.e.
sending/receiving of ADUs) and visible state transitions. It fully covers EFC communication services claimed
in ISO/TS 17575-2 clause 7 and PICS proforma Clause B.2 ISO/TS 17575-2. Claims related to Front End
Storage capacity are outside of the scope of this part of ISO/TS 16401.
This part of ISO/TS 16401 covers the test purposes for Front End application related to session establishment
on Back End request and related to session re-establishment when session requested by Back End failed.
There are no other claims with respect to Front End application claimed in ISO/TS 17575-2.
The underlying communication technology requirements for layer 1-4 specified in Clause 8 ISO/TS 17575-2 is
outside of the scope of this part of ISO/TS 16401.
Similarly Back End communications API is outside of the scope of this part of ISO/TS 16401. According to
ISO/TS 17575-2 it is expected that these Front End Communications API will be reflected in the BE, however
BE Communications API is outside of the scope of ISO/TS 17575-2.

5.2 Reference to conformance test specifications
This part of ISO/TS 16401 takes into account already defined test purposes for conformance to the base
standards by referencing them, so that:
a) For test purposes that are identical to those defined in the base standards conformance test cases direct
reference is reported. For reader’s convenience, the title or a verbal description of the referenced test
purpose is given, together with the reference.
b) For test purposes that are derived from those defined in the base standards conformance test cases, a
direct reference is reported, plus an indication on how the referred test purpose has to be modified for the
profile conformance testing.
c) For test purposes that are specific to ISO/TS 17575-2, a complete description is given.
d) An indication on whether a test purpose is identical, derived, or specific is given in each test purpose.
