Road vehicles - Standardized repair and maintenance information (RMI) terminology - Part 2: Standardized process implementation requirements, Registration Authority (ISO 18542-2:2014)

EN ISO 18542-2 is structured into two parts: - Part 1: General information and use case definition: defines a framework and a process for agreeing terms - Part 2: Standardized process implementation requirements, Registration Authority: defines the process implementation requirements for a Terminology Management System and for a Registration Authority with a Digital Annex. The purpose of the ISO 18542 series is to facilitate searching by Independent Operators (IOs) of Vehicle Manufacturer (VM) Repair and Maintenance Information (RMI) websites. This part of ISO 18542 specifies: - the technical requirements that must be met by the Terminology Management System (TMS) that will be used to manage and store the ‘Agreed RMI Terminology’; - the requirements for the Registration Authority (RA) (i.e. the agency responsible for maintaining and publishing the ‘Agreed RMI Terminology’). The framework and process for creating ‘Agreed Terminology’ is the subject of ISO 18542-1. The target audience for this part of ISO 18542-2 is a technical one, and focused on those responsible for the implementation of mandate M/421.

Straßenfahrzeuge - Standardisierte RMI-Terminologie - Teil 2: Anforderungen an die Implementierung des standardisierten Prozesses, Registrierungsstelle (ISO 18542-2:2014)

ISO 18542 ist in zwei Teile untergliedert:
   Teil 1 „General information and use case definition“ — in diesem Teil sind ein Rahmen und ein Prozess für die Festlegung von Benennungen festgelegt;
   Teil 2 „Standardized process implementation requirements, Registration authority“ — in diesem Teil werden die Anforderungen an die Prozessimplementierung für ein Terminologiemanagementsystem und für eine Registrierungsstelle mit einem digitalen Anhang festgelegt.
Der Hauptzweck der Teile 1 und 2 vonder Normenreihe ISO 18542 ist es, unabhängige Marktteilnehmer bei der Suche auf RMI -Websites von Fahrzeugherstellern zu unterstützen.
Dieser Teil der ISO 18542 legt fest:
   die technischen Anforderungen fest, die von dem Terminologiemanagementsystem [TMS] erfüllt werden müssen, das für die Verwaltung und Speicherung der festgelegten RMI-Terminologie eingesetzt wird;
   die Anforderungen an die Registrierungsstelle [RA] (d. h. die Stelle, die für die Pflege und Veröffentlichung der festgelegten RMI-Terminologie verantwortlich ist) fest;
Der Rahmen und der Prozess für die Erarbeitung festgelegter Terminologie ist Gegenstand von ISO 18542 -1.
Die Zielgruppe von Teil 2dieses Teils von ISO 18542 sind technische Fachkräfte, insbesondere jene, die für die Implementierung des Mandats M/421 verantwortlich sind.

Véhicules routiers - Terminologie normalisée pour l'information sur la réparation et la maintenance (RMI) - Partie 2: Exigences de mise en oeuvre des procédés normalisés, autorité d'enregistrement (ISO 18542-2:2014)

L'ISO 18542-2:2014 spécifie:
?   les exigences techniques qui doivent être satisfaites par le Système de Gestion Terminologique (SGT) qui sera utilisé pour gérer et enregistrer la «terminologie RMI convenue»;
?   les exigences relatives à l'Autorité d'Enregistrement (AE) (c'est-à-dire l'organisme responsable de la maintenance et de la publication de la «terminologie RMI convenue»).

Cestna vozila - Standardizirana terminologija za informacije o popravilu in vzdrževanju avtomobilov (RMI) - 2. del: Standardizirane zahteve za izvajanje procesa, registracijski organ (ISO 18542-2:2014)

EN ISO 18542-2 je sestavljen iz dveh delov: - 1. del: Splošna informacija in definicija primera uporabe: določa okvir in proces za dogovarjanje o pogojih - 2.del: Standardizirane zahteve za izvajanje procesa, registracijski organ: določa zahteve za izvajanje procesa za sistem vodenja terminologije in za registracijski organ z digitalnim dodatkom. Namen serije ISO 18542 je neodvisnim izvajalcem olajšati iskanje spletnih mest o informacijah o popravilu in vzdrževanju avtomobilov (RMI) proizvajalca vozila. Ta del standarda ISO 18542 določa: - tehnične zahteve, ki jih mora izpolnjevati sistem vodenja terminologije, ki bo uporabljen za upravljanje in shranjevanje dogovorjene terminologije RMI; - zahteve za registracijski organ (npr. agencijo, ki je odgovorna za ohranjanje in objavo dogovorjene terminologije RMI). Okvir in procesi za oblikovanje dogovorjene terminologije so določeni v standardu ISO 18542-1. Ciljna publika tega dela ISO 18542-2 so tehnični upravljavci, zato se osredotoča na odgovorne za izvajanje mandata M/421.

ISO 18542-2:2014(E)

Introduction
The ISO 18542 series includes the requirements to be fulfilled by Repair and Maintenance Information
(RMI) systems as applied by the:
EUROPEAN COMMISSION - ENTERPRISE AND INDUSTRY DIRECTORATE-GENERAL, Consumer goods
[1]
- Automotive industry EC mandate M/421 “MANDATE TO THE EUROPEAN STANDARDIZATION
ORGANISATIONS FOR STANDARDIZATION IN THE FIELD OF VEHICLE OBD, REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION” dated Brussels, 21 January 2008.
This mandate relates to the EC type-approval system for vehicles falling into the scopes of Directives
[2] [3] [4]
2002/24/EC, 2003/37/EC and 70/156/EEC (replaced by 2007/46/EC), and, in particular, to
requirements for access to vehicle repair and maintenance information by independent operators.
This part of ISO 18542 addresses terminology for access to automotive repair and maintenance
1) 2)
information for light passenger and commercial vehicles and heavy duty vehicles based on Directive
70/156/EEC (replaced by 2007/46/EC).
The purpose of the EC Mandate M/421 is to develop a standard or set of standards which specify the
requirements to provide “standardized access to automotive repair and maintenance information
(RMI)” for independent operators.
The information included in this part of ISO 18542 derives from the legislative requirements on a
European level in the field of repair and maintenance information and related security requirements
and can be referenced by legislation in other countries.
It is intended to be read in conjunction with:
— ISO 18542-1: General information and use case definition, that defines a framework and a process
for agreeing terms for a standardized automotive terminology process;
— ISO 18541-1: General information and use case definition, that describes the requirements for the
vehicle manufacturers RMI systems;
— ISO 18541-2: Technical requirements;
— ISO 18541-3: Functional user interface requirements, and;
— ISO 18541-4: Conformance test.
This part of ISO 18542-2 is predicated by some key decisions and concepts that need to be understood
in order to fully appreciate its intent.
1) REGULATION (EC) No 715/2007 [5] OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 20 June 2007
on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5
and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information and COMMISSION REGULATION (EC)
No 692/2008 of 18 July 2008 [6] implementing and amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European
Parliament and of the Council on type-approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and
commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information and amending
COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 566/2011 of 8 June 2011 [7] amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the
European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 as regards access to vehicle
repair and maintenance information.
2) REGULATION (EC) No 595/2009 [8] OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 18 June 2009
on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from heavy duty vehicles (Euro VI) and on access to
vehicle repair and maintenance information, COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 582/2011 of 25 May 2011 [9]
implementing and amending Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council with
respect to emissions from heavy duty vehicles (Euro VI), and COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 64/2012 of 23
January 2012 [10] amending Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 2011 implementing and amending Regulation (EC)
No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council with respect to emissions from heavy duty vehicles
(Euro VI).

ISO 18542-2:2014(E)

From the outset it was determined that a set of ‘Agreed Terms’ would be used by an IO to search a VM’s
RMI. The phrase ‘Agreed Terms’ is used rather than ‘Standardized Terms’ because the terms should
not be ‘standardized’ in the established sense. The standardization process is lengthy and the need to
have terms available for searching in a short timescale means such an approach is inappropriate. The
process by which a panel of expert terminologists agrees and reviews terms is systemized and central
to ISO 18542-1.
The provision of the agreed Automotive RMI Terminology itself is outside the remit of this part of
ISO 18542 and therefore outside the scope of this part of ISO 18542. Rather, it is foreseen that the agreed
Automotive RMI Terminology will follow a lifecycle beyond the timeframe of this part of ISO 18542 and
be dependent upon the work of a Registration Authority, a Terminology Review Group for its creation
and management, and of a Digital Annex for its publication. For the development of the Digital Annex
existing standards will be reviewed and elements included where appropriate and practical.
— In order to effectively maintain the ‘Agreed Terminology’, it has been determined that a Commercial-
Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Terminology Management System (TMS) is required. The COTS TMS functions
as a ‘back-end’ database repository with a workflow element that will ensure ‘Agreed Terms’ are
created, and managed in line with the standardized process outlined in ISO 18542-1.
— It is anticipated that there will be a maintenance agency which will be responsible for overseeing
the procurement and hosting of the COTS TMS.
— A Registration Authority (RA) controls the IP for the Digital Annex (DA) and is responsible for
managing and publishing the content of that DA.
— The maintenance agency for the Commercial-Off-The-Shelf Terminology Management System (COTS
TMS) and the Registration Authority (RA) for the Digital Annex (DA) may be a single organization.

1 Scope
The ISO 18542 series is structured into two parts:
— Part 1: General information and use case definition: defines a framework and a process for agreeing
terms
— Part 2: Standardized process implementation requirements, Registration Authority: defines the
process implementation requirements for a Terminology Management System and for a Registration
Authority with a Digital Annex.
The purpose of the ISO 18542 series is to facilitate searching by Independent Operators (IOs) of Vehicle
Manufacturer (VM) Repair and Maintenance Information (RMI) websites.
This part of ISO 18542 specifies:
— the technical requirements that must be met by the Terminology Management System (TMS) that
will be used to manage and store the ‘Agreed RMI Terminology’;
— the requirements for the Registration Authority (RA) (i.e. the agency responsible for maintaining
and publishing the ‘Agreed RMI Terminology’).
The framework and process for creating ‘Agreed Terminology’ is the subject of ISO 18542-1.
The target audience for this part of ISO 18542-2 is a technical one, and focused on those responsible for
the implementation of mandate M/421.
