Electronically controlled systems will increasingly be the decisive determining factor in the safety and environmental performance of vehicles. But currently inspection of these systems is, for all practical purposes, not part of mandatory periodical technical inspection of vehicles. In 1997 CITA set up a specific working group, called Working Group VII: Testing of electronically controlled systems, to consider this issue. This group examined available reliability data and failure rates of electronically controlled systems and possible test procedures that had already been proposed.
