— Improvements in the precision of technical description and update of references;

An eCall is an emergency call generated either automatically via activation of in-vehicle sensors or

manually by the vehicle occupants; when activated, to provide notification and relevant location

information to the most appropriate Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP), by means of mobile wireless

communications networks and carries a defined standardized minimum set of data, notifying that there

has been an incident that requires response from the emergency services and establishes an audio

EN 15722 specifies a standardized MSD for eCall, and EN 16072 specifies pan-European eCall operating

requirements. (For third-party systems, EN 16102 specifies third-party services supporting eCall

operating requirements. See EC Communication on eCall Implementation 2009 [COM(2009) 434 final]

The operating requirements for pan-European eCall are made using Public Land Mobile Networks

(PLMN) (such as GSM and 3G), as specified in a number of ETSI standards and technical specifications.

In order to provide the eCall service across a wireless network, high level application protocols are

required as an important essential element to effect this service provision. This European Standard

specifies the protocols to put into effect the pan-European eCall operating requirements using PLMNs,

and also identifies common elements that can be used in the link between third-party services supporting

NOTE The term PSAP, which is most widely used in the eCall documentation, European Commission documents

etc., is used throughout this document and equates to the term emergency call response centre used in the ITS

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that

compliance with this European Standard may involve the use of patents concerning eCall given in this

The patents held may refer to the implementation of eCall in general using the specifications in this

European Standard, but do not specifically directly refer to specifications of any of the clauses defined

CEN takes no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of these patent rights.

The holder of these patent rights has ensured to CEN that they are willing to negotiate licenses under

reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the world. In this

respect, the statement of the holder of these patent rights is registered with CEN. Information may be

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights other than those identified above. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or

In respect of pan-European eCall (operating requirements defined in EN 16072), this document defines

the high-level application protocols, procedures and processes required to provide the eCall service using

NOTE 1 The objective of implementing the pan-European in-vehicle emergency call system (eCall) is to automate

the notification of a traffic accident, wherever in Europe, with the same technical standards and the same quality of

services objectives by using a PLMN (such as ETSI prime medium) which supports the European harmonized

112/E112 emergency number (TS12 ETSI/TS 122 003) and to provide a means of manually triggering the

NOTE 2 HLAP requirements for third-party services supporting eCall can be found in EN 16102, and have been

developed in conjunction with the development of this work item, and is consistent in respect of the interface to the

PSAP. This deliverable makes reference to those provisions but does not duplicate them.
