Before performing the test eCall, ensure: (a) that one of the connection procedures specified in point 2.7 of Annex I, as agreed between the technical service and the manufacturer, will be applied for any test eCall; (b) that the dedicated PSAP test point is available to receive an eCall emitted by the 112-based system; (c) that the TPSP test point is available to receive an eCall emitted by the TPS system; (d) that a false eCall to a genuine PSAP cannot be made over the live network; and (e) that the vehicle ignition or master control switch is activated. 2.3.2. Perform a test eCall by applying a manual trigger of the TPS system. 2.3.3. Verify that: (a) an eCall was established with the TPSP test point by a successful voice connection to the TPSP test point; (b) data was received properly at the TPSP test point including at least the MSD; and (c) no eCall was attempted or established with the PSAP test point by a record of the PSAP test point showing that it did not receive an eCall. 2.3.4. Clear down the eCall using the appropriate TPSP test point command (e.g. hang up).’; (4) point 2.4. is replaced by the following: ‘2.4. The fall-back procedure and activation of the 112-based system, in the event that the TPS system does not function, shall be verified by performing a manually triggered test eCall.’; (5) points 2.4.1. to 2.4.5. are replaced by the following: ‘2.4.1.

Perform a test eCall by applying a manual trigger of the TPS system. 2.4.4. Verify that: (a) an eCall was established with the PSAP test point by a successful voice connection to the PSAP test point; and (b) an MSD was received by the PSAP test point. That shall be verified by a record of the PSAP test point showing that an MSD emitted from the eCall system following the trigger was received and successfully decoded. 2.4.5. Clear down the test eCall using the appropriate PSAP test point command (e.g. hang up).’; (6) point 2.5. is deleted.
