Annex X Procedure for the extension of GB type-approvals granted in accordance with this Regulation to 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems operating over circuit-switched mobile networksF1

This Annex applies for the purposes of extending GB type-approval of 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems.

A vehicle which meets the requirements in paragraph 3 is exempt from the requirement to comply with Article 5(1) so far as it relates to Annex II (full-scale impact assessment) and Annex III (crash-resistance of audio equipment).

The requirements referred to in paragraph 2 are as follows.

The extension of GB type-approval is for modifications made to a component of an eCall in-vehicle system which is designed to facilitate or enable hands-free voice communications between vehicle occupants and an operator.

The modifications to which the extension relates do not impact any other component of an eCall in-vehicle system.

Where an extension of GB type-approval is granted in accordance with this Annex, differences between the modified eCall in-vehicle system and the eCall in-vehicle system as originally type-approved must be documented and explained to the technical service and the appropriate authority.

Where a crash test is required for the purpose of extending the GB type-approval of a component of an eCall in-vehicle system other than a component which is designed to facilitate or enable hands-free voice communications between vehicle occupants and an operator, the technical service shall conduct a full-scale impact test assessment in accordance with Annex II and an audio equipment crash resistance assessment in accordance with Annex III.
