- This revision updates the titling to eliminate the term “System-Level” from the document. It adds a reference to SAE J1727 in Section 2.1.1 and corrects a requirement to utilize SAE J211-2 rather than SAE J211-1 Section 6, Photographic Instrumentation. Further, it expands Section 4 to allow component-level testing in addition to system-level testing to be consistent with changes made to SAE J2418.SAE J3044 has been reaffirmed to comply with the SAE Five-Year Review policy.
