[F1 [F2 II. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS AND FUNCTIONS OF THE RECORDING EQUIPMENT U.K.

[000] Any vehicle fitted with the recording equipment complying with the provisions of this Annex, must include a speed display and an odometer. These functions may be included within the recording equipment.

1. General characteristics U.K.

The purpose of the recording equipment is to record, store, display, print, and output data related to driver activities.

[001] The recording equipment includes cables, a motion sensor, and a vehicle unit.

[001a] [F3 The interface between motion sensors and vehicle units shall be compliant with ISO 16844-3:2004, Cor 1:2006.]

Textual Amendments

F3 Inserted by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1266/2009 of 16 December 2009 adapting for the tenth time to technical progress Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport (Text with EEA relevance).

[002] The vehicle unit includes a processing unit, a data memory, a real time clock, two smart card interface devices (driver and co-driver), a printer, a display, a visual warning, a calibration/downloading connector, and facilities for entry of user's inputs.

The recording equipment may be connected to other devices through additional connectors.

[003] Any inclusion in or connection to the recording equipment of any function, device, or devices, approved or otherwise, shall not interfere with, or be capable of interfering with, the proper and secure operation of the recording equipment and the provisions of the Regulation.

Recording equipment users identify themselves to the equipment via tachograph cards.

[004] The recording equipment provides selective access rights to data and functions according to user's type and/or identity.

The recording equipment records and stores data in its data memory and in tachograph cards.

This is done in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (1) .

2. Functions U.K.

[005] The recording equipment shall ensure the following functions:

• monitoring cards insertions and withdrawals,

• speed and distance measurement,

• time measurement,

• monitoring driver activities,

• monitoring driving status,

• drivers manual entries:

  • entry of places where daily work periods begin and/or end,

  • manual entry of driver activities,

  • entry of specific conditions,

• company locks management,

• monitoring control activities,

• detection of events and/or faults,

• built-in and self tests,

• reading from data memory,

• recording and storing in data memory,

• reading from tachograph cards,

• recording and storing in tachograph cards,

• displaying,

• printing,

• warning,

• data downloading to external media,

• output data to additional external devices,

• calibration,

• time adjustment.

3. Modes of operation U.K.

[006] The recording equipment shall possess four modes of operation:

• operational mode,

• control mode,

• calibration mode,

• company mode.

[007] The recording equipment shall switch to the following mode of operation according to the valid tachograph cards inserted into the card interface devices:

a [008] In these situations the recording equipment shall use only the tachograph card inserted in the driver slot.
Mode of operation		Driver slot
		No card	Driver card	Control card	Workshop card	Company card
Co-driver slot	No card	Operational	Operational	Control	Calibration	Company
	Driver card	Operational	Operational	Control	Calibration	Company
	Control card	Control	Control	Control a	Operational	Operational
	Workshop card	Calibration	Calibration	Operational	Calibration a	Operational
	Company card	Company	Company	Operational	Operational	Company a

[009] The recording equipment shall ignore non-valid cards inserted, except displaying, printing or downloading data held on an expired card which shall be possible.

[010] All functions listed in II.2. shall work in any mode of operation with the following exceptions:

• the calibration function is accessible in the calibration mode only,

• the time adjustment function is limited when not in the calibration mode,

• [F4 . . . . .]

• the company locks management function is accessible in the company mode only,

• the monitoring of control activities function is operational in the control mode only,

• [F5 the downloading function is not accessible in the operational mode (except as provided for in Requirement 150), and except downloading a driver card when no other card is inserted into the VU.]

Textual Amendments

F4 Deleted by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1266/2009 of 16 December 2009 adapting for the tenth time to technical progress Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport (Text with EEA relevance).

F5 Substituted by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1266/2009 of 16 December 2009 adapting for the tenth time to technical progress Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport (Text with EEA relevance).

[011] The recording equipment can output any data to display, printer or external interfaces with the following exceptions:

• in the operational mode, any personal identification (surname and first name(s)) not corresponding to a tachograph card inserted shall be blanked and any card number not corresponding to a tachograph card inserted shall be partially blanked (every odd character — from left to right — shall be blanked),

• [F5 in the company mode, driver related data (requirements 081, 084 and 087) can be output only for periods where no lock exists or no other company holds a lock (as identified by the first 13 digits of the company card number),]

• when no card is inserted in the recording equipment, driver related data can be output only for the current and eight previous calendar days.

4. Security U.K.

The system security aims at protecting the data memory in such a way as to prevent unauthorised access to and manipulation of the data and detecting any such attempts, protecting the integrity and authenticity of data exchanged between the motion sensor and the vehicle unit, protecting the integrity and authenticity of data exchanged between the recording equipment and the tachograph cards, and verifying the integrity and authenticity of data downloaded.

[012] In order to achieve the system security, the recording equipment shall meet the security requirements specified in the motion sensor and vehicle unit generic security targets (Appendix 10).] ]
