ISO 17840-3:2019 pdf free.Road vehicles一一Information for first and second responders一一Emergency response guide template.
The ERG template follows in principle a flowchart for the main actions of the first and second responders arriving at an accident scene or performing towing and other activities afterwards.
The ERG can be related to a specific vehicle model, to a family of similar vehicle models, or to a certain type of vehicle technology in general.
The ERG template provides a format for filling in the following necessary and useful emergency information:
— relevant information for a vehicle involved in a traffic accident (including immobilisation, disabling of hazards, access to occupants, shut-off procedures, handling of stored propulsion energy);
— information in case of fire or submersion; and
— information regarding towing, transportation and storage.
This document is applicable to passenger cars, buses, coaches, light and heavy commercial vehicles according to Iso 3833.
The proposed template can be beneficial for use also for other types of vehicles (e.g. trains, trams, airplanes), although this is out of the scope of this document.
The identification of the vehicle and of the model via a database using the license plate, the VIN number, an automatic emergency call system (e.g. e-Call) system or other identifiers (e.g. bar code or QR code) is not covered by this document.
The rescue procedure or the process of handling the ERG is not covered by this document.

5 Principles for using the ERG template
5.1 General
The following general principles apply:
— specific detailed vehicle information for quick reference shall be summarized in the Rescue Sheet, in accordance with ISO 17840-1 or ISO 17840-2 (depending on the type of vehicle);
— the ERG shall follow headings and colour coding of the vehicle ERG sections (see Clause 7)
— the pictograms of the ERG and the Rescue Sheet shall be used in a consistent way when describing the same matter;
— pictograms provided in Annex B shall be used;
— information on propulsion energy shall be in accordance with ISO 17840-4;
— vehicle information should not be repeated between the Rescue Sheet and ERG, the ERG information is intended to complement the Rescue Sheet information;
— minimum recommended resolution of images: 300 DPI; and
— distracting information on images should be avoided (e.g. people, faces). ISO 17840-3 pdf download.
