(7) The mandatory equipping of vehicles with the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system should initially apply only to new types of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles (categories M1 and N1) for which an appropriate triggering mechanism already exists. The possibility of extending the application of the eCall in-vehicle system requirement in the near future to include other vehicle categories, such as heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), buses and coaches, and powered two-wheelers (PTW) should be further assessed by the Commission with a view to presenting a legislative proposal.

(10a) eCall, as a safety-related system, requires the highest possible level of reliability. The accuracy of the minimum set of data and of voice transmission and quality should therefore be ensured, and a uniform testing regime should be developed to ensure the longevity and durability of the eCall in-vehicle system. This falls within the scope of the periodic technical inspections carried out in accordance with Regulation (EU) No .../…1*. Detailed provisions for the testing should be included in the relevant Annex thereto. __________________ 1 Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on periodic roadworthiness tests for motor vehicles and their trailers and repealing Directive 2009/40/EC (OJ L ...). * Note to OJ: Please insert the number, the date and the publication reference of doc. 2012/0184(COD).
