ANNEX V Automatic triggering mechanism 1. Requirements 1.1. The following requirements apply to vehicles with eCall in-vehicle systems installed. 1.2. Documentation requirements 1.2.1. The manufacturer shall provide a statement which affirms that the strategy chosen to trigger an automatic eCall ensures triggering also in accident configurations dissimilar from and/or of a lower severity than the collisions simulated in the applicable full-scale crash tests in UN Regulation No 94 and UN Regulation No 95. 1.2.2. The manufacturer shall choose the collision typology and severity and will demonstrate that it is significantly different than the full-scale crash tests. 1.2.3. The manufacturer shall provide the type-approval authority with an explanation and technical documentation which shows, in overall terms, how this is achieved. 1.2.3.1. Documentation that shows, to the satisfaction of the type-approval authority, that the activation of supplemental restraint systems and the severity level, chosen at the discretion of the manufacturer, also induces an automatic eCall shall be considered satisfactory. 1.2.3.2. Documentation that shows, to the satisfaction of the type-approval authority, the strategy to prevent unjustified eCalls from being made in case of impacts of a severity level that is not considered a severe accident. Moreover, failure mode analysis shall be provided which shows that any hardware or software faults shall not result in automatic triggering of an eCall. 1.2.3.3. Airbag control unit specification drawings, specification data notes, sensitivity drawings, relevant circuit diagrams or similar documents considered equivalent by the type-approval authority would be suitable means to demonstrate this connection. 1.2.3.4. The extended documentation package shall remain strictly confidential. It may be kept by the approval authority, or, at the discretion of the approval authority, may be retained by the manufacturer. In case the manufacturer retains the documentation package, that package shall be identified and dated by the approval authority once reviewed and approved. It shall be made available for inspection by the approval authority at the time of approval or at any time during the validity of the approval.
