The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has refuted allegations that the on-board units (OBUS) for the next-generation Electronic Road Pricing system, or ERP 2.0, failed to meet international standards.
In a statement on May 14, LTA said the OBU meets the relevant global benchmarks for electronic devices and, when installed properly, is safe and reliable in Singapore's operating environment.
Responding to online comments, LTA noted that the OBU had been tested against the International Electrotechnical Commission's IEC-60068 and IEC-60529 standards, which are widely used to assess the operational reliability of electronic devices.
The IEC-60068 is a method for the environmental testing of electronic equipment, while the IEC-60529 rates the resistance of electronic devices against the intrusion of dust and liquids.
To qualify for these standards, the OBU passed a wide range of tests, including those for temperature and humidity, added LTA.
The authority reiterated Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat's parliamentary reply to Workers' Party MP Louis Chua's question on May 8 about whether the OBU meets the minimum standards of the Automotive Electronics Council Q100 (AEC-Q100) requirements for reliable operations in Singapore's climate.
