European Commission proposals for changes to the text of the automatic emergency call systems/devices regulation under development. These changes focus mainly on the use of global navigation satellite systems and do not represent an endorsement of the rest of the text.

European Commission position stressing its requirement that the proposed automatic emergency call system regulation cover and include the EGNOS (EU Satellite Augmentation system) and Galileo (the EU global navigation satellite system).

Proposal from the informal group secretary to add classes of emergency call devices to the draft regulation. The three classes proposed would address bandwidth variations (e.g., GSM 900, GSM 1800, UMTS 900, UMTS 2100, UMTS 1700/2100, UMTS 1900) and permit authorities to limit their acceptance of type approvals to particular classes.

OICA proposals for the test and measurement procedures to be undertaken to assess the post-collision (i.e., following the frontal impact or side impact testing under UN Regulations Nos. 94 and 95) functioning of an automatic emergency call device.

Draft report from the expert group working on a new regulation to govern approvals of in-vehicle automated emergency call devices to the Working Party on General Safety.

Table proposing scope and testing of triggering behavior, crash resistance, and post-crash performance within the scopes of UN R94, UN R95, and UN R12 as well as component-only testing.

Final feedback table from CLEPA on draft accident emergency call system approval provisions (action item from the 5-6 December 2013 AECS informal group session).
