tachographs a driver card is required. Drivers who
are not in possession of a valid driver card are not
allowed to drive a vehicle equipped with a digital
tachograph.

data download unit a company

Service ID (SrvID)
The service ID (SrvID) is a numeric code defined by
the tachograph manufacturer EFKON. The code is
used to describe all event or fault type messages
(defined by the Commision regulation (EC) No.
1360/2002) more precisely and also for identification
of additional messages (defined by EFKON) in order
to give the workshop personal better information for
system analysis in case of system malfunctions. The
service ID is only used for screen outputs (see chap
-
ter "Acknowledging Events or Faults" on page 35),
whereas in printouts and data downloads the set of
different numeric codes is always used which is
defined by the Commision regulation.
