SIST EN ISO 13143:2025 PDF

Overview

EN ISO 13143:2025 - titled Electronic fee collection - Evaluation of on-board and roadside equipment for conformity to ISO 12813 - specifies the test suite structure (TSS) and test purposes (TPs) used to evaluate the conformity of Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC) on-board equipment (OBE) and roadside equipment (RSE) to ISO 12813. The standard provides a harmonized basis for conformance tests that support interoperability across equipment from different manufacturers and for consistent conformance evaluation and type approval processes. Note: ISO 12813 targets the compliance check communication (CCC) interface level - internal OBE/RSE functional behaviour is explicitly outside the scope of EN ISO 13143:2025.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Test Suite Structure (TSS): Defines how tests are organized for protocol and interface verification between OBE and RSE.
• Test Purposes (TPs): Normative test purposes for both OBE and RSE (detailed in Annex A and Annex B) that describe the objectives and expected outcomes of each conformance test.
• Conformance reporting: Includes protocol conformance test report proforma for OBE (Annex C) and RSE (Annex D) to standardize test documentation and comparability of results.
• Scope limitations: Focuses on CCC interface-level conformity to ISO 12813; does not prescribe internal device behaviour tests.
• Consistency and comparability: Enables repeatable evaluation procedures so different test labs produce comparable results over time and locations.

Practical applications

• Type approval and certification: Used by conformity assessment bodies and national regulators to validate DSRC OBE/RSE implementations against ISO 12813.
• Interoperability testing: Enables toll operators and system integrators to verify that OBE and RSE from different vendors interoperate reliably at the CCC interface.
• Test lab procedures: Provides a test suite structure and test purpose definitions for test houses and laboratories to implement standardized conformance tests and generate PCTR/SCTR reports.
• Procurement and supplier validation: Assists procurement teams in specifying acceptance test criteria for DSRC equipment.

Who should use this standard

• Equipment manufacturers (OBE/RSE vendors)
• Conformity assessment bodies and test laboratories
• Toll operators and ITS integrators
• National standards bodies and type-approval authorities

Related standards

• ISO 12813:2024 (Compliance check communication for autonomous systems)
• ISO 17573-2 (EFC vocabulary/system architecture)
• EN 15509, EN 12834, ISO 14907-2 and ETSI test specifications referenced for DSRC and EFC testing

EN ISO 13143:2025 is essential for stakeholders aiming to ensure DSRC-based electronic fee collection devices meet internationally harmonized conformance and interoperability criteria.
