Proposal to amend para. 1.4. to clarify obligations for recording data elements where sensors or systems cannot meet specified format requirements. Recording is not required if no system or sensor is designed to provide the trigger or data element, or if not operational at the time of the trigger condition or recording. However, if the vehicle is fitted with an original equipment manufacturer sensor or system designed to provide the trigger or data element in the specified format, reporting in that format is mandatory when operational. Where sensor or system design capabilities do not allow format requirements to be met, the data element shall nevertheless be recorded and the corresponding limitation reported. Failure states shall be recorded by the EDR.
