What is BS EN 16454 - eCall conformance testing about?
The ability to reach help on time is a vital factor during a crash. The 112-eCall system in the vehicle contacts the 112 emergency services, establishes a wireless telephone connection and immediately provides the public service answering point (PSAP) with a minimum set of data that identifies the vehicle, location of the crash, the direction of travel, and may provide additional relevant data. It may also provide the number of passengers, other vehicles and incident-related data.
BS EN 16454 describes and defines the general objectives of this conformance Standard and identifies the state transitions for the principal actor groups that need to ascertain or declare conformance:
- In-Vehicle System/vehicle
- Mobile network Operator
- Public safety assistance point
- Third Party Service Provider
Conformance tests in BS EN 16454 allow demonstration that a system complies with the eCall Standards. Compliance to Standards is a prerequisite to providing an interoperable compliant system.

Why should you use BS EN 16454 - eCall conformance testing?
eCall is a service provided in Europe with the goal of reducing response times for accidents or other emergencies on the roadways. PD CEN/TS 17234 describes the technology behind eCall and presents conformance tests for eCall.
BS EN 16454 provides you with tests to enable actors in the eCall chain to be able to claim conformance to the eCall Standards, even though they are unable to control the behaviour of systems of other actors in the eCall chain.
BS EN 16454 describes general overview of the eCall transaction for pan-European eCall. BS EN 16454 is designed to support both self-declaration and independent conformance certification environments. BS EN 16454 guidelines help you to make road transport safer for drivers and passengers.
