Blue Asia Labs provides eCall and ERA-GLONASS emergency call system testing for automotive telematics units, including in-vehicle acoustic simulation and protocol conformance.
Capability & Accreditation Scope
| Test Object | Reference Standard | Scope & Accreditation |
|---|---|---|
| In-vehicle eCall systems | EN 16062; EN 16454 | eCall conformance scope |
| ERA-Glonass systems | Applicable ETSI standards | Russian emergency call scope |
| End-to-end emergency calls | Network-assisted test scenarios | Call setup and data transfer scope |
What is Emergency Call (eCall) Testing?
eCall is the pan-European in-vehicle emergency call system mandated for new vehicle types in the EU. Compliance requires conformance testing to EN 16062 and EN 16454 for eCall, or to the GOST R requirements for ERA-GLONASS, including acoustic performance in the vehicle cabin.
Testing Scope
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| eCall conformance | EN 16062 / EN 16454 protocol conformance, MSD data set and PSAP registration behavior |
| ERA-GLONASS | GOST R requirements for the ERA-GLONASS emergency call system |
| In-vehicle acoustics | Cabin acoustic conditions, SNR and speech intelligibility |
| GNSS performance | Position acquisition time, accuracy and TTFF in simulated conditions |
| Network registration | Cellular registration, roaming and PSAP connectivity |
| Power robustness | Backup battery, power interruption and brown-out behavior |
Certification Process
- Standard review — Confirm the applicable standard (EN 16062 / EN 16454, or GOST R for ERA-GLONASS) and market.
- Bench & cabin testing — Protocol and acoustic testing including simulated cabin conditions.
- GNSS & network — Positioning and network registration validation.
- Report — Compliance test report for vehicle type approval submission.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you test both eCall and ERA-GLONASS?
Yes. Combined eCall/ERA-GLONASS testing is available for dual-market vehicles.
Can you simulate vehicle cabin acoustics?
Yes. Our testing includes in-vehicle acoustic conditions affecting voice quality.
Do you test the backup battery?
Yes, including power interruption and brown-out behavior of the emergency call function.
How long does eCall testing take?
Typically 3–5 weeks including GNSS and network validation.
