The European Union legislation Euro 5 (Regulation 715/2007) requires all manufacturers of light passenger vehicles to provide standardised access to vehicle repair, maintenance and diagnostic information for independent operators via the web in a consistent, non-discriminatory manner.
A key component of this legislation requires manufacturers to provide access to security related Repair and Maintenance Information including diagnostics in accordance with a European-wide certification and accreditation scheme. The details of this scheme are being finalized now and will require manufacturers to interface with a dedicated Trust Center and exchange certificates and query the list of accredited users to verify a users credentials before providing security access. Cognitran can advise manufacturers on interface requirements for the Trust Center and the integration of these new security services in to existing manufacturer Repair and Maintenance systems.
