The EFC standards suite includes "requirements” and associated test procedures, in order to support conformity evaluation of products. It also includes security guidelines that can be useful in the preparation or evaluation of security requirements. The EFC standards provide key elements for achieving national and international interoperability. They are used in more than 35 countries (Japan, Australia, South America, Europe …) and 100 systems around the world. More than 45 million on-board units and 20'000 roadside equipment units conforming to these standards have been issued.

A Rapp Trans staff member, as the appointed chairman, coordinates the development of the worldwide and European EFC standards. Experts of Rapp Trans also participate in the preparation of the standards.
