2.Test methods
2.1.Test conditions
2.1.1.The test object is the eCall, which includes a GNSS receiver and a GNSS antenna, specifying navigation characteristics and features of the tested system.
2.1.2.The number of the eCall test samples shall be at least 3 pieces and can be tested in parallel.
2.1.3.The eCall is provided for the test with the installed SIM-card, operation manual and the software (provided on electronic media).
2.1.4.The attached documents shall contain the following data:
device serial number;
hardware version;
software version;
device provider identification number;
relevant technical documentation to perform the tests.
2.1.5.Tests are carried out in normal climatic conditions in accordance with standard ISO 16750-1:2006:
air temperature 23 (± 5) °C;
relative air humidity of 25 % to 75 %.
2.1.6.Tests of the eCall in respect of its GNSS receiver shall be performed with the test and auxiliary equipment specified in Table 1.
