M/502 - Seals for digital tachographs

Mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI concerning standardization within the context of Regulation No. 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport, for purpose of developing seals for digital tachographs

Mandate M/502 requests CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI to develop standardization for seals used in digital tachographs as part of implementing Regulation No. 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport. The aim is to ensure secure and reliable sealing solutions to maintain the integrity and tamper-resistance of digital tachograph devices. This mandate supports the enforcement of road transport regulations by facilitating consistent standards for seals to be used across the European Union. The decision on this mandate is recorded under resolution CEN/BT C55/2012.

Purpose

This mandate aims to standardize seals used for digital tachographs, ensuring consistency and reliability in the equipment used for recording drivers' hours and vehicle movements in road transport. It supports the implementation of Regulation No. 3821/85, which governs recording equipment in road transport to improve road safety and working conditions.

Standardisation request

The European standardisation organisations CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI are requested to develop standards related to seals for digital tachographs. These standards should define the technical specifications and methods to secure digital tachographs against tampering or unauthorized access.

Expected deliverables

The deliverables are European standards that specify the design, characteristics, and testing requirements for seals applicable to digital tachographs used in road transport vehicles. These standards will facilitate the manufacturing and application of compliant sealing systems to safeguard digital tachograph data integrity.

Context

Regulation No. 3821/85 mandates the use of recording equipment in road transport to monitor drivers' activities. As tachographs evolved from analog to digital, standardised sealing solutions became necessary to maintain system security and data authenticity. This mandate addresses the need for harmonised European standards in this specific technical area to support regulatory enforcement and interoperability.

The mandate covers the standardization of seals used with digital tachographs under Regulation No. 3821/85, which relates to recording equipment in road transport. It focuses on developing standardized seals to ensure the security and integrity of digital tachographs used in the road transport sector.

Frequently Asked Questions

A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.

M/502 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI concerning standardization within the context of Regulation No. 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport, for purpose of developing seals for digital tachographs". Mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI concerning standardization within the context of Regulation No. 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport, for purpose of developing seals for digital tachographs There are 2 standards developed under this mandate.

Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
