Road vehicles - Standardized access to automotive repair and maintenance information (RMI) - Part 6: L-Category vehicle specific RMI use cases and requirements (ISO 18541-6:2018, Corrected version 2018-05)

Standards 18541-1 to 4 are covering the field of light vehicles and 18541-5 will cover the field of heavy-duty motor vehicles.
The purpose is to treat specificities of mopeds and motorbikes, as well as all-terrain vehicles (quads) and other small vehicles with 3 or 4 wheels.

Straßenfahrzeuge - Standardisierter Zugang zur Reparatur und Wartung (RMI) - Teil 6: Spezifische RMI Anwendungsfälle und Anfoderungen fü L-Kategorie Fahrzeuge (ISO 18541-6:2018, korrigierte Fassung 2018-05)

Dieses Dokument enthält alle Elemente (Definitionen, Anwendungsfälle, technische Anforderungen, Anforderungen an funktionale Nutzerschnittstellen und Konformitätsprüfungsfälle), die für den standardisierten Zugang zu Reparatur- und Wartungsinformationen für zwei- und dreirädrige Kraftfahrzeuge und leichte vierrädrige Kraftfahrzeuge (Kraftfahrzeuge der Fahrzeugklasse L) anwendbar sind.
Die Erarbeitung dieses Dokuments erfolgte auf der Grundlage von ISO 18541-1, ISO 18541-2, ISO 18541-3 und ISO 18541-4. Dieses Dokument stellt eine Anpassung der Festlegungen für den standardisierten Zugang zu RMI für Personenkraftwagen an Fahrzeuge der Fahrzeugklasse L dar, wobei die Ziele und Grundsätze des Normungsauftrages M/421 der Europäischen Kommission beibehalten wurden.
Dieses Dokument nimmt auf die Anwendung eines digitalen Anhangs genormter Suchbegriffe für RMI Bezug. Die Bereitstellung eines solchen digitalen Anhangs wird nach dem Verfahren erfolgen, das in ISO 18542 beschrieben wird.
CEN muss eine Registrierungsstelle zur Erstellung und Pflege eines geeigneten digitalen Anhangs nach ISO 18542 benennen.

Véhicules routiers - Normalisation de l'accès aux informations relatives à la réparation et à la maintenance pour l'automobile (RMI) - Partie 6: Exigences et cas d'usage RMI spécifiques aux véhicules de catégorie L (ISO 18541-6:2018, Version corrigée 2018-05)

ISO 18541-6.2018 contient tous les éléments (définitions, cas d'utilisation, exigences techniques, exigences fonctionnelles relatives aux interfaces utilisateur et cas de test de conformité) applicables à l'accès normalisé aux informations relatives à la réparation et à la maintenance des véhicules à deux ou trois roues et des quadricycles (véhicules de catégorie L).
ISO 18541-6.2018 a été developpé en se fondant sur l'ISO 18541‑1, ISO 18541‑2, ISO 18541‑3 et ISO 18541‑4. Le présent document constitue une adaptation des spécifications relatives à l'accès normalisé aux RMI des voitures particulières aux véhicules de catégorie L, dans le respect des objectifs et des principes du mandat M/421 de la Commission européenne.
ISO 18541-6.2018 a fait référence à l'utilisation d'une annexe numérique de termes de recherche normalisés relatifs aux RMI.
La fourniture d'une telle annexe numérique va respecter le processus décrit dans l'ISO 18542. Le CEN va désigner une Autorité d'enregistrement conformément à l'ISO 18542 pour la création et la maintenance d'une annexe numérique appropriée.

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.
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 18541-6 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 31, and by
Technical Committee CEN/TC 301, Road vehicles in collaboration.
ISO 18541 consists of the following parts, under the general title Road vehicles — Standardized access to
automotive repair and maintenance information (RMI):
 Part 1: General information and use case definition
 Part 2: Technical requirements
 Part 3: Functional user interface requirements
 Part 4: Conformance test
 Part 5: Heavy duty specific provision
 Part 6: L-Category vehicle specific RMI use cases and requirements
Introduction
This standard 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
- Automotive industry EC mandate M/421 [1]
"MANDATE TO THE EUROPEAN STANDARDIZATION ORGANISATIONS FOR STANDARDIZATION IN
THE FIELD OF VEHICLE OBD, REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION"
dated Brussels, 21 January 2008.
© ISO 2015 – All rights reserved v

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
oSIST prEN ISO 18541-6:2015
ISO/DIS 18541-6
This mandate relates to the EC type-approval system for vehicles falling into the scopes of Directives
2007/46/EC [4], 2002/24/EC [2] and 2003/37/EC [3] and, in particular, to requirements for access to vehicle
repair and maintenance information by independent operators.
The purpose of the EC Mandate M/421 [1] is to develop a standard or set of standards which specify the
requirements to provide "standardized access to repair and maintenance information (RMI)" for independent
operators.
This standard part covers the access to automotive repair and maintenance information for L-category
vehicles (two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles) based on Regulation (EU) 168 / 2013 [4] and related
delegated and implementing acts.
The information included in this part of the standard derives from the legislative requirements on European
level in the field of repair and maintenance information and related security requirements and can be
referenced by legislation in other countries.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 18541-6

Road vehicles — Standardized access to automotive repair and
maintenance information (RMI) — Part 6: L-Category vehicle
specific RMI use cases and requirements
1 Scope
ISO 18541-6 contains all elements - definitions, use cases, technical requirements, functional user interfaces
requirements and conformance test cases - applicable for the standardized access to repair and maintenance
information for two- and three-wheeled vehicles and quadricycles (L-category vehicles)
The development of this standard part has been based on parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of ISO 18541. This standard part
constitutes an adaptation of standardized access to RMI prescriptions for passenger cars to L-category
vehicles keeping the objectives and principles of the mandate M/421 from the European commission.
This standard references the usage of a Digital Annex of standardized search terms for RMI. The provision of
such a Digital Annex shall follow the process described in ISO 18542 Road vehicles – Standardized RMI
terminology.
CEN shall nominate a Registration Authority according to ISO 18542 for the creation and maintenance of an
appropriate Digital Annex.
