Automatic vehicle and equipment identification — Electronic registration identification (ERI) for vehicles — Part 1: Architecture

ISO 24534-1:2010 provides requirements for electronic registration identification (ERI) that are based on an identifier assigned to a vehicle (e.g. for recognition by national authorities), suitable to be used for:

• electronic identification of local and foreign vehicles by national authorities;
• vehicle manufacturing, in-life maintenance and end-of-life identification (vehicle life cycle management);
• adaptation of vehicle data (e.g. for international resales);
• safety-related purposes;
• crime reduction;
• commercial services.

It adheres to privacy and data protection regulations.

ISO 24534-1:2010 provides an overview of the ERI system concept, in terms of the onboard vehicle components and the external off-vehicle components required for an operational system. The detailed requirements are defined in Parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 of ISO 24534 and more limited, though relevant, provisions are defined in ISO 24535.
