Straßenfahrzeuge - Standardisierter Zugang zur Reparatur und Wartung - (RMI) - Teil 1: Allgemeine Informationen und Beschreibung der Anwendungsfälle (ISO 18541-1:2014)

EN ISO 18541 ist in vier Teile untergliedert:
 Teil 1: Allgemeine Informationen und Beschreibung der Anwendungsfälle
 Teil 2: Technische Anforderungen
 Teil 3: Funktionale Anforderungen an die Nutzerschnittstellen
 Teil 4: Konformitätsprüfung
Dieser Teil der Norm enthält allgemeine Informationen, die einen allgemeinen Überblick über Inhalt und Struktur der einzelnen Teile der Norm geben. Außerdem werden Anwendungsfälle in Bezug auf Systeme für Reparatur- und Wartungsinformationen (RMI) festgelegt, die der Standardisierung des Zugangs auf RMI durch unabhängige Marktteilnehmer dienen.
Dieser Teil der Norm beschreibt die auf den standardisierten Zugang zu RMI zutreffenden Anwendungsfälle. Die Anwendungsfälle spiegeln reale Szenarien wider, wenn z. B. bei der Instandhaltung von Fahrzeugen der Zugang zu Informationen erforderlich ist, um Pannenhilfe, Untersuchungen, Diagnose, Reparaturen und Wartungen, sowie die Neuprogrammierung und Ersatz elektronischer Steuergeräte (ECUs), durchzuführen.
RMI-Systeme, die vom Personal für die Durchführung von Instandhaltungsleistungen verwendet werden, bestehen aus:
 einem webbasierten System, das Zugang zu RMI gewährt, die für die Durchführung von Instandhaltungs-leistungen erforderlich sind;
 liefert spezifische RMI Kontaktinformationen;
 einem Sicherheitsrahmen, mit dem der Zugang zu diebstahlrelevanten RMI geschützt wird.
Teil 1 dieser Norm gibt einen Überblick über die gesamte Norm und deren Anwendung auf die Automobil-industrie.
Dieser Teil von EN ISO 18541 gilt für leichte Personenkraftwagen und Nutzfahrzeuge, wie in der Verordnung (EG) 715 /2007, Art. 2 [15] festgelegt.
EN ISO 18542 ist ein ergänzender Standard, der die „standardisierte RMI Terminologie“ festlegt. Er besteht insgesamt aus zwei Teilen:
 Teil 1: Allgemeine Informationen und Beschreibung der Anwendungsfälle
 Teil 2: Standardisierte Prozessimplementierungsanforderungen und Registrierungsstelle
Die standardisierte RMI Terminologie ist Teil einer sogenannten „Digitalen Anlage“.

Véhicules routiers - Standardisation des accès aux informations de réparation et de maintenance pour l'automobile (RMI) - Partie 1: Informations générales et définitions de cas d'utilisation (ISO 18541-1:2014)

ISO 18541-1:2014 contient des « informations générales » qui donnent un aperçu général et la structure de chaque partie de la norme. Elle spécifie également des « cas d'utilisation » relatifs aux systèmes d'information de réparation et de maintenance (RMI) afin de normaliser l'accès aux RMI pour des opérateurs indépendants.
Cette partie de l'ISO 18541 décrit également les cas d'utilisation applicables à l'accès normalisé aux RMI pour l'automobile. Les cas d'utilisation portent sur des scénarios réalistes (par exemple dans le cadre de la maintenance de véhicules) en ce qui concerne l'accès aux informations nécessaire pour l'assistance routière, le contrôle, le diagnostic, la réparation et la maintenance, y compris la mise à jour et le remplacement des Unités de Contrôle Électronique (UCE).
Les systèmes RMI utilisés par le personnel pour réaliser les opérations d'entretien comprennent :
- un système accessible sur Internet, qui donne accès aux RMI nécessaires pour réaliser la ou les opérations d'entretien ;
- la fourniture de coordonnées pour des RMI spécifiques ;
- un cadre de mesures destiné à sécuriser l'accès aux informations RMI liées à la sécurité du véhicule.
Cette partie de l'ISO 18541 donne un aperçu général de l'ensemble de la norme et de ses modalités d'application à l'industrie automobile.
Cette partie de l'ISO 18541 s'applique aux véhicules particuliers et utilitaires légers tels que définis dans le Règlement (CE) 715/2007, Article 2.[15]

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers
to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information.
ISO 18541-1:2013 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical
Committee CEN/TC 301, Road vehicles, in collaboration with ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road
vehicles, Subcommittee SC 3, Electrical and electronic equipment, in accordance with the agreement on
technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).

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
ISO 18542, Road vehicles — Standardized repair and maintenance information (RMI) terminology, is a
complementary standard that defines standardized RMI terminology and consists of two parts:

Introduction
This set of standards includes the requirements to be fulfilled by Repair and Maintenance Information
(RMI) systems as applied by the European Commission — Enterprise and Industry Directorate-General,
[[5]]
Consumer goods — Automotive industry EC mandate M/421 , dated Brussels, 21 January 2008.
This mandate relates to the EC type-approval system for vehicles falling into the scopes of Directives
70/156/EEC (replaced by 2007/46/EC [8]), 2002/24/EC [6] and 2003/37/EC [7] and, in particular, to
requirements for access to vehicle repair and maintenance information by independent operators.
This International Standard only covers access to automotive repair and maintenance information for
light passenger and commercial vehicles (see NOTE 1) and heavy duty vehicles (see NOTE 2) based on
Directive 70/156/EEC (replaced by 2007/46/EC [8]).
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 18541 derives from the legislative requirements on European
level in the field of RMI and related security requirements and can be referenced by legislation in other
countries.

Part 1:
General information and use case definition
1 Scope
This part of ISO 18541 provides a general overview and structure of each part of ISO 18541. It also
specifies use cases related to repair and maintenance information (RMI) systems in order to standardize
the access to RMI for independent operators.
This part of ISO 18541 also describes the use cases applicable to the standardized access to automotive
RMI. The use cases address real world scenarios (e.g. servicing vehicles) in regard to the information
access necessary to perform vehicle roadside assistance, inspection, diagnosis, repair and maintenance,
including the updating and replacement of Electronic Control Units (ECU).
The RMI systems used by personnel to perform the services consist of:
— a Web-based system, which provides access to RMI needed to perform the service(s);
— contact information for specific RMI;
— a security framework to protect access to security related RMI.
This part of ISO 18541 provides an overview of the entire standard and how it applies to the automotive
industry.
This part of ISO 18541 is applicable to light passenger and commercial vehicles as defined in regulation
[15]
(EC) 715/2007 Article 2.
2 Normative references
