DIRECTIVE 2007/46/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 5 September 2007

establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles

(Framework Directive)

(Text with EEA relevance)



THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee ( 1 ),

Acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty ( 2 ),

Whereas:

(1)

Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers ( 3 ), has been substantially amended several times. Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity.

(2)

For the purposes of the establishment and operation of the internal market of the Community, it is appropriate to replace the Member States’ approval systems with a Community approval procedure based on the principle of total harmonisation.

(3)

The technical requirements applicable to systems, components, separate technical units and vehicles should be harmonised and specified in regulatory acts. Those regulatory acts should primarily seek to ensure a high level of road safety, health protection, environmental protection, energy efficiency and protection against unauthorised use.

(4)

Council Directive 92/53/EEC of 18 June 1992 amending Directive 70/156/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers ( 4 ) limited application of the Community whole vehicle type-approval procedure to the vehicle category M1. However, in order to complete the internal market and to ensure that it functions properly, the scope of the present Directive should cover all categories of vehicles, enabling manufacturers to benefit from the advantages of the internal market by means of the Community type-approval.

(5)

In order to enable manufacturers to adapt to the new harmonised procedures, a sufficient lead-time should be allowed before Community vehicle type-approval becomes compulsory for vehicles belonging to categories other than M1 that are built in one stage. A longer lead-time is required for vehicles of categories other than M1 that require a multi-stage approval, since that procedure will involve body-builders, who will need to gain sufficient experience in that field so that the necessary procedures can be implemented properly. However, due to the importance of safety for vehicles of category M2 and M3, during the transitional period when national type approval is still valid in order to allow manufacturers to get experience with EC vehicle type approval, it is necessary that those vehicles comply with the technical requirements of the harmonised directives.

(6)

Until now, manufacturers who produce vehicles in small series have been partially excluded from the benefits of the internal market. Experience has shown that road safety and protection of the environment could be significantly improved if small series vehicles were totally integrated into the Community vehicle type-approval system, starting with category M1.

(7)

In order to prevent abuse, any simplified procedure for small series vehicles should be restricted to cases of very limited production; it is therefore necessary to define more precisely the concept of small series in terms of the number of vehicles produced.

(8)

It is important to lay down measures enabling vehicles to be approved on an individual basis, in order to allow sufficient flexibility in the multi-stage approval system; however, pending the establishment of harmonised, specific Community provisions, Member States should continue to be allowed to grant individual approvals in accordance with their national rules.

(9)

Pending application of the Community vehicle type-approval procedures to categories of vehicles other than M1, Member States should be allowed to continue to grant vehicle type-approvals on a national basis, and transitional provisions should be laid down accordingly.

(10)

The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission ( 5 ).

(11)

By Council Decision 97/836/EC ( 6 ), the Community acceded to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted to and/or used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions (Revised 1958 Agreement).

Consequently, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Regulations to which the Community accedes, in application of that Decision, and amendments to UNECE Regulations to which the Community has already acceded should be incorporated within the Community type-approval procedure either as requirements for EC vehicle type-approval, or as alternatives to existing Community law. In particular, where the Community decides, by means of a Council decision, that a UNECE Regulation shall become part of the EC vehicle type-approval procedure and replace existing Community law, the Commission should be empowered to make the necessary adaptations to this Directive. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive or to supplement it by the addition of new non-essential elements, they should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.

(12)

For the purposes of better regulation and simplification and in order to avoid having to constantly update existing Community legislation on issues of technical specifications, it should be possible for this Directive or for separate directives and regulations to make references to existing international standards and regulations without reproducing them in the Community legal framework.

(13)

In order to ensure that the procedure for monitoring conformity of production, which is one of the cornerstones of the Community type-approval system, has been correctly implemented and functions properly, manufacturers should be regularly checked by the competent authority or by an appropriately qualified technical service appointed for that purpose.

(14)

The main objective of the legislation on the approval of vehicles is to ensure that new vehicles, components and separate technical units put on the market provide a high level of safety and environmental protection. This aim should not be impaired by the fitting of certain parts or equipment after vehicles have been placed on the market or have entered service. Thus, appropriate measures should be taken in order to make sure that parts or equipment which can be fitted to vehicles and which are capable of significantly impairing the functioning of systems that are essential in terms of safety or environmental protection, are subject to a prior control by an approval authority before they are offered for sale. These measures should consist of technical provisions concerning the requirements that those parts or equipment have to comply with.

(15)

These measures should only apply to a limited number of parts or equipment. The list of such parts or equipment and subsequent requirements should be established after having consulted stakeholders. In establishing the list, the Commission should consult stakeholders on the basis of a report and strive for a fair balance between the requirements of improving road safety and environmental protection, as well as the interests of consumers, manufacturers and distributors in preserving competition in the aftermarket.

(16)

The list of parts and equipment, the essential systems concerned as well as the testing and implementation measures should be determined in accordance with Decision 1999/468/EC. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive or to supplement it by the addition of new non-essential elements, they should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of that Decision.

(17)

This Directive constitutes a set of specific safety requirements within the meaning of Article 1(2) of Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 December 2001 on general product safety ( 7 ), laying down specific requirements for protecting the health and safety of consumers. Therefore, it is important to establish provisions to ensure that, in case a vehicle presents a serious risk for consumers resulting from the application of this Directive or of the regulatory acts listed in Annex IV, the manufacturer has taken effective protective measures, including the recall of vehicles. Approval authorities should therefore be able to assess whether the proposed measures are sufficient or not.

(18)

It is important that manufacturers supply relevant information to vehicle owners in order to prevent misuse of safety devices. It is appropriate to include provisions thereon in this Directive.

(19)

It is also important for equipment manufacturers to have access to certain information that is available only from the vehicle manufacturer, that is to say, the technical information, including drawings, required for the development of parts for the aftermarket.

(20)

It is equally important that manufacturers make information readily available to independent operators to ensure the repairing and maintenance of vehicles in a fully competitive market. These information requirements have so far been incorporated in Community legislation, and in particular in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2007 on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information ( 8 ), on the basis that the Commission will present a report, no later than four years after the date of entry into force of that Regulation, on the operation of the system of access to vehicle repair and maintenance information and will consider whether it would be appropriate to consolidate all provisions governing access to such information within a revised framework directive on type approval.

(21)

With the aim of simplifying and accelerating the procedure, measures implementing the separate directives or regulations as well as measures for adapting the annexes to this Directive and the separate directives or regulations, in particular to the development of scientific and technical knowledge, should be adopted in accordance with Decision 1999/468/EC. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive or of the separate directives or regulations, or to supplement them by the addition of new non-essential elements, they should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of that Decision. The same procedure should apply to adaptations needed for the type-approval of vehicles intended for persons with disabilities.

(22)

Experience shows that appropriate measures may have to be taken without delay with a view to ensuring a better protection of road users where shortcomings have been identified in the existing legislation. For such urgent cases, the necessary amendments to the separate directives or regulations should be adopted in accordance with Decision 1999/468/EC. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of the separate directives or regulations or to supplement them by the addition of new non-essential elements, they should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of that Decision.

(23)

Since the objective of this Directive, namely the achievement of the internal market through the introduction of a compulsory system of Community type-approval for all categories of vehicles, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can, therefore, by reason of the scale of the action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve this objective.

(24)

The obligation to transpose this Directive into national law should be confined to those provisions which represent a substantive change as compared with the earlier Directives. The obligation to transpose the provisions which are unchanged arises under the earlier Directives.

(25)

In accordance with point 34 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on better law-making ( 9 ), Member States are encouraged to draw up, for themselves and in the interests of the Community, their own tables illustrating, as far as possible, the correlation between this Directive and the transposition measures, and to make them public.

(26)

This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the directives set out in Part B of Annex XX.

(27)

The requirements of this Directive are in accordance with the principles enshrined in the Action plan entitled ‘Simplifying and improving the regulatory environment’.

(28)

It is of particular importance that future measures proposed on the basis of this Directive or procedures to be implemented in application of it should comply with these principles, which have been restated by the Commission in its communication on a Competitive Automotive Regulatory framework for the 21st Century,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

2.  Member States shall grant EC type-approvals in accordance with Articles 9 and 10.

3.  If a Member State finds that a type of vehicle, system, component or separate technical unit, albeit in conformity with the required provisions, presents a serious risk to road safety or seriously harms the environment or seriously harms public health, it may refuse to grant EC type-approval. In this case, it shall immediately send the other Member States and the Commission a detailed file explaining the reasons for its decision and setting out the evidence for its findings.

4.  EC type-approval certificates shall be numbered in accordance with the method set out in Annex VII.

5.  The approval authority shall, within 20 working days, send to the approval authorities of the other Member States a copy of the EC vehicle type-approval certificate, together with the attachments, for each type of vehicle which it has approved. The hard copy may be replaced by an electronic file.

6.  The approval authority shall inform without delay the approval authorities of the other Member States of its refusal or withdrawal of any vehicle approval, together with the reasons for its decision.

7.  The approval authority shall send at three-monthly intervals to the approval authorities of the other Member States a list of the system, component or separate technical unit EC type-approvals it has granted, amended, refused to grant or withdrawn during the preceding period. That list shall contain the particulars specified in Annex XIV.

8.  If so requested by another Member State, the Member State which has granted an EC type-approval shall, within 20 working days of receiving that request, send a copy of the EC type-approval certificate in question, together with the attachments. The hard copy may be replaced by an electronic file.

Article 9

Specific provisions concerning vehicles

1.  Member States shall grant an EC approval in respect of:

(a) a type of vehicle which conforms to the particulars in the information folder and which meets the technical requirements specified by the relevant regulatory acts listed in Annex IV;

(b) a type of special-purpose vehicle which conforms to the particulars in the information folder and which meets the technical requirements specified by the relevant regulatory acts listed in Annex XI.

The procedures set out in Annex V shall apply.

2.  Member States shall grant a multi-stage type-approval in respect of a type of incomplete or completed vehicle which conforms to the particulars in the information folder and which meets the technical requirements specified by the relevant regulatory acts listed in Annex IV or Annex XI, having regard to the state of completion of the vehicle.

The multi-stage type-approval shall apply also to complete vehicles converted or modified by another manufacturer.

The procedures set out in Annex XVII shall apply.

3.  In respect of each type of vehicle, the approval authority shall:

(a) complete all the relevant sections of the EC type-approval certificate, including the test results sheet appended thereto, in accordance with the model set out in Annex VIII;

SAFEGUARD CLAUSES

Article 29

Vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units in compliance with this Directive

1.  If a Member State finds that new vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units, albeit in compliance with the applicable requirements or properly marked, present a serious risk to road safety, or seriously harm the environment or public health, that Member State may, for a maximum period of six months, refuse to register such vehicles or to permit the sale or entry into service in its territory of such vehicles, components or separate technical units.

In such cases, the Member State concerned shall immediately notify the manufacturer, the other Member States and the Commission accordingly, stating the reasons on which its decision is based and, in particular, whether it is the result of:

 shortcomings in the relevant regulatory acts, or

 incorrect application of the relevant requirements.

2.  The Commission shall consult the parties concerned as soon as possible and, in particular, the approval authority that granted the type-approval in order to prepare the decision.

3.  Where the measures referred to in paragraph 1 are attributed to shortcomings in the relevant regulatory acts, the appropriate measures shall be taken as follows:

 where separate directives or regulations listed in Part I of Annex IV are concerned, the Commission shall amend them in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 40(2),

 where UNECE Regulations are concerned, the Commission shall propose the necessary draft amendments to the relevant UNECE Regulations in accordance with the procedure applicable under the Revised 1958 Agreement.

Article 30

Vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units not in conformity with the approved type

1.  If a Member State which has granted an EC type-approval finds that new vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units accompanied by a certificate of conformity or bearing an approval mark do not conform to the type it has approved, it shall take the necessary measures, including, where necessary, the withdrawal of type-approval, to ensure that production vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units, as the case may be, are brought into conformity with the approved type. The approval authority of that Member State shall advise the approval authorities of the other Member States of the measures taken.

2.  For the purposes of paragraph 1, deviations from the particulars in the EC type-approval certificate or the information package shall be deemed to constitute failure to conform to the approved type.

A vehicle shall not be deemed to deviate from the approved type where tolerances are permitted by the relevant regulatory acts and those tolerances are respected.

3.  If a Member State demonstrates that new vehicles, components or separate technical units accompanied by a certificate of conformity or bearing an approval mark do not conform to the approved type, it may ask the Member State which granted the EC type-approval to verify that vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units in production continue to conform to the approved type. On receipt of such a request, the Member State concerned shall take the requisite action as soon as possible and in any case within six months of the date of the request.

4.  The approval authority shall request the Member State which granted the system, component, separate technical unit or incomplete vehicle type-approval to take the necessary action to ensure that vehicles in production are brought back into conformity with the approved type in the following cases:

(a) in relation to an EC vehicle type-approval, where the non-conformity of a vehicle is attributable exclusively to the non-conformity of a system, component or separate technical unit;

(b) in relation to a multi-stage type-approval, where the non-conformity of a completed vehicle is attributable exclusively to the non-conformity of a system, component or separate technical unit being part of the incomplete vehicle, or of the incomplete vehicle itself.

On receipt of such a request, the Member State concerned shall take the requisite action, if necessary in conjunction with the Member State making the request, as soon as possible and in any case within six months of the date of the request. Where a failure to conform is established, the approval authority of the Member State which granted the system, component or separate technical unit EC type-approval or the approval of the incomplete vehicle shall take the measures set out in paragraph 1.

5.  The approval authorities shall inform each other within 20 working days of any withdrawal of EC type-approval and of the reasons therefor.

6.  If the Member State that granted EC type-approval disputes the failure to conform notified to it, the Member States concerned shall endeavour to settle the dispute. The Commission shall be kept informed and, where necessary, shall hold appropriate consultations with a view to reaching a settlement.

Article 31

Sale and entry into service of parts or equipment which are capable of posing a significant risk to the correct functioning of essential systems

1.  Member States shall permit the sale, the offer for sale or entry into service of parts or equipment which are capable of posing a significant risk to the correct functioning of systems that are essential for the safety of the vehicle or for its environmental performance, only if those parts or equipment have been authorised by an approval authority in accordance with paragraphs 5 to 10.

2.  Parts or equipment subject to authorisation in accordance with paragraph 1 shall be inserted in the list to be established in Annex XIII. Such a decision shall be preceded by an evaluation resulting in a report and strive for a fair balance between the following elements:

(a) the existence of a serious risk to the safety or environmental performance of vehicles fitted with the parts or equipment under consideration; and

(b) the effect on consumers and manufacturers in the after-market of the imposition under this Article of a possible authorisation requirement on the parts or equipment under consideration.

3.  Paragraph 1 shall not apply to original parts or equipment which are covered by a system type-approval with respect to a vehicle and to parts or equipment which are type-approved in accordance with the provisions of one of the regulatory acts listed in Annex IV, except where those approvals relate to aspects other than those covered in paragraph 1. Paragraph 1 shall not apply to parts or equipment exclusively produced for racing vehicles not intended for use on public roads. If parts or equipment included in Annex XIII have a dual use for racing and on the road, these parts or equipment may not be sold or offered for sale to the general public for use in on-road vehicles unless they comply with the requirements of this Article.

Where appropriate, the Commission shall adopt provisions for identifying the parts or equipment referred to in this paragraph.

4.  The Commission shall, after consulting stakeholders, establish the procedure and the requirements of the authorisation process referred to in paragraph 1, and adopt the provisions for the subsequent updating of the list established in Annex XIII. Those requirements shall include prescriptions for safety, environmental protection and, where needed, for testing standards. They may be based on the regulatory acts listed in Annex IV, may be developed according to the relevant state of safety, environmental and testing technology, or, if this is an appropriate way of achieving the required safety or environmental objectives, may consist of a comparison of the part or equipment with the environmental or safety performance of the original vehicle, or of any of its parts, as appropriate.

5.  For the purposes of paragraph 1, the manufacturer of parts or equipment shall submit to the approval authority a test report drafted by a designated technical service which certifies that the parts or equipment for which authorisation is sought comply with the requirements referred to in paragraph 4. The manufacturer may introduce only one application per type per part with only one approval authority.

The application shall include details concerning the manufacturer of the parts or equipment, the type, identification and part numbers of the parts or equipment for which authorisation is sought, as well as the vehicle manufacturer’s name, type of vehicle and, if appropriate, years of construction or any other information permitting the identification of the vehicle for which the fitting of such parts or equipment is intended.

When the approval authority is satisfied, taking account of the test report and other evidence, that the parts or equipment in question comply with the requirements referred to in paragraph 4, it shall issue a certificate to the manufacturer without unjustified delay. This certificate shall authorise the parts or equipment to be sold, offered for sale or fitted to vehicles in the Community subject to the second subparagraph of paragraph 9.

6.  Each part or piece of equipment authorised in application of this Article shall be appropriately marked.

The Commission shall establish marking and packaging requirements, as well as the model and numbering system of the certificate referred to in paragraph 5.

7.  The measures referred to in paragraphs 2 to 6 shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 40(2) as they are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, inter alia by supplementing it.

8.  The manufacturer shall inform without delay the approval authority that issued the certificate of any change affecting the conditions under which it was delivered. That approval authority shall decide whether the certificate has to be reviewed or reissued and whether fresh tests are necessary.

The manufacturer shall be responsible for ensuring that the parts and equipment are produced and continue to be produced under the conditions under which the certificate was issued.

9.  Before delivering any authorisation, the approval authority shall verify the existence of satisfactory arrangements and procedures for ensuring effective control of the conformity of production.

Where the approval authority finds that the conditions for issuing the authorisation are no longer fulfilled, it shall request the manufacturer to take the necessary measures to ensure that the parts or equipment are brought back into conformity. If necessary, it shall withdraw the authorisation.

10.  Any disagreement between Member States in relation to the certificates referred to in paragraph 5 shall be brought to the attention of the Commission. It shall take appropriate measures, including, where necessary, requiring the withdrawal of the authorisation, after having consulted the Member States.

11.  This Article shall not be applicable to a part or piece of equipment before it is listed in Annex XIII. For any entry or group of entries in Annex XIII a reasonable transitional period shall be fixed to allow the manufacturer of the part or equipment to apply for and obtain an authorisation. At the same time a date may be fixed, where appropriate, to exclude parts and equipment designed for vehicles type-approved before that date from the application of this Article.

12.  As long as a decision as to whether or not a part or piece of equipment is to be included in the list referred to in paragraph 1 has not been taken, Member States may maintain national provisions dealing with parts or equipment which are capable of posing a significant risk to the correct functioning of systems that are essential for the safety of the vehicle or its environmental performance.

Once such a decision in this regard has been taken, the national provisions dealing with the parts or equipment in question shall cease to be valid.

13.  As from 29 October 2007, Member States shall not adopt new provisions dealing with parts and equipment which can affect the correct functioning of systems that are essential for the safety of the vehicle or its environmental performance.

Article 32

Recall of vehicles

1.  Where a manufacturer who has been granted an EC vehicle type-approval is obliged, in application of the provisions of a regulatory act or of Directive 2001/95/EC, to recall vehicles already sold, registered or put into service because one or more systems, components or separate technical units fitted to the vehicle, whether or not duly approved in accordance with this Directive, presents a serious risk to road safety, public health or environmental protection, he shall immediately inform the approval authority that granted the vehicle approval thereof.

2.  The manufacturer shall propose to the approval authority a set of appropriate remedies to neutralise the risk referred to in paragraph 1. The approval authority shall communicate the proposed measures to the authorities of the other Member States without delay.

The competent authorities shall ensure that the measures are effectively implemented in their respective territories.

3.  If the measures are considered to be insufficient by the authorities concerned or have not been implemented quickly enough, they shall inform the approval authority that granted the EC vehicle type-approval without delay.

The approval authority shall then inform the manufacturer. If the approval authority which granted the EC type-approval is itself not satisfied with the measures of the manufacturer, it shall take all protective measures required, including the withdrawal of the EC vehicle type-approval where the manufacturer does not propose and implement effective corrective measures. In case of withdrawal of the EC vehicle type-approval, the concerned approval authority shall notify the manufacturer, the approval authorities of the other Member States and the Commission by registered letter or equivalent electronic means within 20 working days.

4.  This Article shall also apply to parts that are not subject to any requirement under a regulatory act.

Article 33

Notification of decisions and remedies available

All decisions taken pursuant to the provisions adopted in implementation of this Directive and all decisions refusing or withdrawing EC type-approval, or refusing registration or prohibiting sales, shall state in detail the reasons on which they are based.

Any such decision shall be notified to the party concerned who shall, at the same time, be informed of the remedies available to him under the laws in force in the Member State concerned and of the time limits allowed for the exercise of such remedies.



CHAPTER XIII

ANNEX II

GENERAL DEFINITIONS, CRITERIA FOR VEHICLE CATEGORISATION, VEHICLE TYPES AND TYPES OF BODYWORK

INTRODUCTORY PART

General definitions and general provisions

1.    Definitions

1.1.

Seating position’ means any location capable of accommodating one person seated who is at least as large as:

(a) the manikin of the 50th percentile male in the case of the driver;

(b) the manikin of the 5th percentile adult female in all other cases.

1.2.

Seat’ means a complete structure with trim, integral or not with the vehicle body structure, which is intended to seat one person.

1.2.1.

The term ‘seat’ covers both an individual seat and a bench seat.

1.2.2.

Folding seats and removable seats are included in this definition.

1.3.

Goods’ means primarily any movable things.

The term ‘goods’ includes products in bulk, manufactured goods, liquids, living animals, crops, indivisible loads.

1.4.

Maximum mass’ means the ‘technically permissible maximum laden mass’ as specified in point 2.8 of Annex I.

2.    General provisions

2.1.   Number of seating positions

2.1.1.

The requirements regarding the number of seating positions apply to seats that are designed for use when the vehicle is travelling on the road.

2.1.2.

They do not apply to seats that are designed for use when the vehicle is stationary and which are clearly identified to users either by means of a pictogram or a sign with an appropriate text.

2.1.3.

The following requirements apply for the counting of the seating positions:

(a) each individual seat shall be counted as one seating position;

(b) in the case of a bench seat, any space having a width of at least 400 mm measured at the seat cushion level shall be counted as one seating position.

This condition shall not prevent the manufacturer from using the general provisions referred to in point 1.1;

(c) however, a space as referred to in point (b) shall not be counted as one seating position where:

(i) the bench seat includes features that prevent the bottom of the manikin from sitting in a natural way - for example: the presence of a fixed console box, an unpadded area or an interior trim interrupting the nominal seating surface;

(ii) the design of the floor pan located immediately in front of a presumed seating position (for example the presence of a tunnel) prevents the feet of the manikin from being positioned in a natural way.

2.1.4.

With respect to vehicles covered by Directive 2001/85/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 November 2001 relating to special provisions for vehicles used for the carriage of passengers comprising more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat, and amending Directives 70/156/EEC and 97/27/EC ( 58 ), the dimension referred to in point 2.1.3(b) shall be aligned with the minimum space required for one person in relation to the various classes of vehicles.

2.1.5.

When seat anchors for a removable seat are present in a vehicle, the removable seat shall be counted in the determination of the number of the seating positions.

2.1.6.

An area intended for an occupied wheelchair shall be regarded as one seating position.

2.1.6.1.

This provision shall be without prejudice to the requirements of point 3.6.1 and point 3.7 of Annex VII to Directive 2001/85/EC.

2.2.   Maximum mass

2.2.1.

In the case of a tractor unit for semi-trailer, the maximum mass to be considered for classifying the vehicle shall include the maximum mass of the semi-trailer borne by the fifth wheel coupling.

2.2.2.

In the case of a motor vehicle that can tow a centre-axle trailer or a rigid drawbar trailer, the maximum mass to be considered for classifying the motor vehicle shall include the maximum mass transferred to the towing vehicle by the coupling.

2.2.3.

In the case of a semi-trailer, a centre-axle trailer and a rigid drawbar trailer, the maximum mass to be considered for classifying the vehicle shall correspond to the maximum mass transmitted to the ground by the wheels of an axle or group of axles when coupled to the towing vehicle.

2.2.4.

In the case of a converter dolly, the maximum mass to be considered for classifying the vehicle shall include the maximum mass of the semi-trailer borne by the fifth wheel coupling.

2.3.   Special equipment

2.3.1.

Vehicles fitted primarily with fixed equipment such as machinery or apparatus shall be regarded as N or O category.

2.4.   Units

2.4.1.

Unless otherwise stated any unit of measurement and associated symbol shall conform to the provisions of Council Directive 80/181/EEC ( 59 ).

3.    Categorisation into vehicle categories

3.1.

The manufacturer is responsible for the categorisation of a type of vehicle into a specific category.

For such purposes, all the relevant criteria described in this Annex shall be met.

3.2.

The approval authority may request from the manufacturer appropriate additional information with the aim of demonstrating that a vehicle type needs to be categorised as special purpose vehicle in the special group (‘SG Code’).

7.1.

When a vehicle falls into several categories because of its maximum mass or the number of seating positions or both, the manufacturer may select to use the criteria of one or the other vehicle category for the definition of the variants and the versions.

7.1.1.

Examples:

(a) a vehicle ‘A’ may be type-approved as N1 (3,5 tonnes) and N2 (4,2 tonnes) in relation to its maximum mass. In such a case, the parameters mentioned in category N1 may be used also for the vehicle that falls into category N2 (or vice-versa);

(b) A vehicle ‘B’ may be type-approved as M1 and M2 in relation to the number of seating positions (7 + 1 or 10 + 1), the parameters mentioned in category M1 may be used also for the vehicle that falls into category M2 (or vice-versa).

7.2.

A vehicle of category N may be type-approved against the provisions required for category M1 or M2, as the case may be, when it is intended to be converted into a vehicle of that category during the next step of a multi-stage type-approval procedure.

7.2.1.

This option shall only be permitted for incomplete vehicles.

Such vehicles shall be identified by a specific variant code given by the manufacturer of the base vehicle.

7.3.

Type-, variant- and version designations

7.3.1.

The manufacturer shall allocate an alphanumeric code to each vehicle type, variant and version, made up of Roman letters and/or Arabic numerals.

The use of brackets and hyphens is permitted provided they do not replace a letter or a numeral.

7.3.2.

The whole code shall be designated: Type-Variant-Version or ‘TVV’.

7.3.3.

The TVV shall clearly and unequivocally identify a unique combination of technical features in relation to the criteria defined in Part B of this Annex.

7.3.4.

The same manufacturer may use the same code in order to define a vehicle type when the latter falls in two or more categories.

7.3.5.

The same manufacturer shall not use the same code in order to define a vehicle type for more than one type-approval within the same vehicle category.

7.4.

Number of characters for the TVV

7.4.1.

The number of characters shall not exceed:

(a) 15 for the code of the vehicle type;

(b) 25 for the code of one variant;

(c) 35 for the code of one version.

7.4.2.

The complete alphanumeric ‘TVV’ shall not contain more than 75 characters.

7.4.3.

When the TVV is used as a whole, a space shall be left between the type, the variant and the version.

Example of such TVV: 159AF[…space]0054[…space]977K(BE).

For the purposes of classification of a vehicle as off-road vehicle, the procedure described in this Appendix shall apply.

1.    Test conditions for geometric measurements

1.1.

Vehicles belonging to category M1 or N1 shall be in unloaded conditions with a manikin of the 50th percentile male installed on the driver’s seat and fitted with coolant fluid, lubricants, fuel, tools, spare-wheel (if fitted as OEM equipment).

The manikin may be replaced by a similar device having the same mass.

1.2.

Vehicles other than those referred to in point 1.1 shall be loaded to their technically permissible maximum laden mass.

The distribution of the mass on the axles shall be the one that represents the worst case with respect to compliance with the respective criteria.

1.3.

A vehicle representative of the type shall be submitted to the technical service in the conditions specified in point 1.1 or 1.2. The vehicle shall be in a stationary position with its wheels set straight ahead.

The ground on which measurements are made shall be as flat and horizontal (maximum of inclination 0,5 %) as possible.

2.    Measurement of approach, departure and ramp angles

2.1.

The approach angle shall be measured in accordance with Item 6.10 of Standard ISO 612:1978.

2.2.

The departure angle shall be measured in accordance with Item 6.11 of Standard ISO 612:1978.

2.3.

The ramp angle shall be measured in accordance with Item 6.9 of Standard ISO 612:1978.

2.4.

When measuring the departure angle rear underrun protection devices which are adjustable in height may be set in the upper position.

2.5.

The prescription in point 2.4 shall not be construed as an obligation for the base vehicle to be fitted with a rear underrun protection as original equipment. However, the base vehicle manufacturer shall inform the next stage manufacturer that the vehicle has to comply with the requirements on departure angle when fitted with a rear underrun protection.

3.    Measurement of ground clearance

3.1.   Ground clearance between the axles

3.1.1. Ground clearance between the axles’ means the shortest distance between the ground plane and the lowest fixed point of the vehicle.

For the application of the definition, the distance between the last axle of a front group of axle and the first axle of a rear group of axle shall be considered.

image

3.1.2. No rigid part of the vehicle may project into the shaded area shown on the figure.

3.2.   Ground clearance beneath one axle

3.2.1. Ground clearance beneath one axle’ means the distance beneath the highest point of the arc of a circle passing through the centre of the tyre footprint of the wheels on one axle (the inner wheels in the case of twin tyres) and touching the lowest fixed point of the vehicle between the wheels.

image

3.2.2. Where appropriate, the measurement of ground clearance shall be conducted on each of the several axles of a group of axles.

4.    Gradeability

4.1.

Gradeability’ means the ability of a vehicle to negotiate a gradient.

4.2.

Appendix 2

Requirements for the approval pursuant to Article 24 of complete vehicles belonging to category M1 and N1, produced in large series in or for third countries

0.   OBJECTIVE

A vehicle is deemed to be new where:

(a) it has never been registered previously; or

(b) it has been registered for less than 6 months at the time of the application for individual approval.

A vehicle shall be considered registered where it has obtained a permanent, temporary or short-term administrative authorisation for entry into service in road traffic, involving its identification and the issuing of a registration number ( 62 ).

1.   ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

1.1.    Categorisation of the vehicle

Vehicles shall be categorised according to the criteria set out in Annex II.

For such purposes:

(a) the actual number of seating positions shall be taken into consideration; and

(b) the technically maximum permissible laden mass shall be the maximum mass stated by the manufacturer in the country of origin and available in his official documentation.

Where it is not possible to easily determine the vehicle category because of the design of the bodywork, the conditions set out in Annex II shall apply.

1.2    Application for individual approval

(a) The applicant shall submit an application to the approval authority accompanied by all relevant documentation necessary for the operation of the approval process.

Where the submitted documentation is incomplete, falsified or forged the application for approval shall be rejected.

(b) Only one application for a particular vehicle may be submitted in only one Member State.

By a particular vehicle, it shall be understood a physical vehicle the vehicle identification number of which is clearly identified.

For the application of this point, the approval authority may require that the applicant commits himself in writing that he will submit only one application in one Member State.

However, any applicant may apply for individual approval in another Member States in respect of a vehicle that has technical characteristics identical or similar to the one that has been granted an individual approval.

(c) The model of the application form and the layout of the file shall be laid down by the approval authority.

Particulars may only consist in an appropriate selection of the information included in Annex I.

(d) The technical requirements to be satisfied are those laid down in Section 4 of this Appendix.

They shall be those applicable to new vehicles belonging to a vehicle type currently in production, in relation to the date of the submission of the application.

(e) With respect to certain tests required in some regulatory acts listed in this Annex, the applicant shall supply a statement of compliance with recognised international standards or regulations. The statement in question may only be issued by the vehicle manufacturer.

‘Statement of compliance’ shall mean a statement issued by the office or department within the manufacturer’s organisation which is duly authorised by the management to fully engage the legal responsibility of the manufacturer with respect to the design and the construction of a vehicle.

The regulatory acts for which such a statement has to be supplied shall be those referred to in Section 4 of this Appendix.

Where a statement gives rise to uncertainty, the applicant may be required to obtain from the manufacturer a conclusive piece of evidence, including a test report, in order to corroborate the manufacturer’s statement.

1.3.    Technical services entrusted with individual approvals

(a) The technical services entrusted with individual approvals shall be of category A as referred to in Article 41(3).

(b) By way of derogation from the second subparagraph of Article 41(4), technical services shall comply with the following standards:

(i) EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 when they perform tests themselves;

(ii) EN ISO/IEC 17020:2004 when they check compliance of the vehicle with the requirements included in this Appendix.

(c) Where specific tests requiring specific skills have to be conducted at the request of the applicant, they shall be conducted by one of the technical services notified to the Commission at the choice of the applicant.

For example, where a frontal impact test has to be conducted in agreement with the applicant in a Member State ‘A’, the test may be conducted by a notified technical service in a Member State ‘B’.

1.4.    Test reports

(a) Test reports shall be drafted in accordance with Section 5.10.2 of Standard EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005.

(b) They shall be drafted in one of the languages of the Union determined by the approval authority.

Where in application of point 1.3(c) a test report has been established in a Member State other than the one entrusted with the individual approval, the approval authority may require that the applicant submits a true translation of the test report.

(c) They shall include a description of the vehicle tested including unambiguous identification. The parts which play a significant role with regard to the results of the tests shall be described and their identification number reported.

Examples of parts include the silencers for noise measurement and the engine management system (ECU) for the measurement of tailpipe emissions.

(d) At the request of an applicant, a test report delivered for a system related to a particular vehicle may be presented repeatedly either by the same or another applicant for the purposes of individual approval of another vehicle.

In such a case the approval authority shall ensure that the technical characteristics of the vehicle are properly inspected against the test report.

Inspection of the vehicle and the documentation accompanying the test report shall lead to the conclusion that the vehicle for which an individual approval is sought has the same characteristics as the vehicle described in the report.

(e) Only authenticated copies of a test report may be submitted.

(f) Test reports referred to in point 1.4(d) do not include the reports drawn up in order to grant the vehicle individual approval.

1.5.

It is inherent in the individual approval process that each particular vehicle is inspected physically by the technical service.

No exemption to this principle shall be permitted.

1.6.

Where the approval authority is satisfied that the vehicle meets the technical requirements specified in this Appendix and conforms to the description included in the application it shall grant approval in accordance with Article 24.

1.7.

The certificate of approval shall be drafted according to Model D as laid down in Annex VI.

1.8.

The approval authority shall keep record of all approvals granted under Article 24.

2.   EXEMPTIONS

8.    On-site assessment

The assessment team shall conduct the assessment of the technical service at the premises of the technical service from which one or more key activities are performed and, where relevant, shall perform witnessing at other selected locations where the technical service operates.

9.    Analysis of findings and assessment report

9.1. The assessment team shall analyse all relevant information and evidence gathered during the document and record review and the on-site assessment. This analysis shall be sufficient to allow the team to determine the extent of competence and conformity of the technical service with the requirements for designation.

9.2. The competent authority’s reporting procedures shall ensure that the following requirements are fulfilled.

9.2.1. A meeting shall take place between the assessment team and the technical service prior to leaving the site. At this meeting, the assessment team shall provide a written and/or oral report on its findings obtained from the analysis. An opportunity shall be provided for the technical service to ask questions about the findings, including non-conformities, if any, and their basis.

9.2.2. A written report on the outcome of the assessment shall be promptly brought to the attention of the technical service. This assessment report shall contain comments on competence and conformity, and shall identify non-conformities, if any, to be resolved in order to conform to all of the requirements for designation.

9.2.3. The technical service shall be invited to respond to the assessment report and to describe the specific actions taken or planned to be taken, within a defined time, to resolve any identified non-conformities.

9.3. The competent authority shall ensure that the responses of the technical service to resolve non-conformities are reviewed to see if the actions appear to be sufficient and effective. If the technical service responses are found not to be sufficient, further information shall be requested. Additionally, evidence of effective implementation of actions taken may be requested, or a follow-up assessment may be carried out to verify effective implementation of corrective actions.

9.4. The assessment report shall include, as a minimum the following:

(a) unique identification of the technical service;

(b) date(s) of the on-site assessment;

(c) name(s) of the auditors(s) and/or experts involved in the assessment;

(d) unique identification of all premises assessed;

(e) proposed scope of designation that was assessed;

(f) a statement on the adequacy of the internal organisation and procedures adopted by the technical service to give confidence in its competence, as determined through its fulfilment of the requirements for designation;

(g) information on the resolution of all non-conformities;

(h) a recommendation of whether the applicant should be designated or confirmed as technical service and, if so, the scope of designation.

10.    Granting/confirming a designation

10.1. The approval authority shall, without undue delay, make the decision on whether to grant, confirm or extend designation on the basis of the report(s) and any other relevant information.

10.2. The approval authority shall provide a certificate to the technical service. This certificate shall identify the following:

(a) the identity and logo of the approval authority;

(b) the unique identity of the designated technical service;

(c) the effective date of granting of designation and the expiry date;

(d) a brief indication of or a reference to the scope of designation (applicable directives, regulations or part of them);

(e) a statement of conformity and a reference to the present Directive.

11.    Reassessment and surveillance

11.1. Reassessment is similar to an initial assessment except that experience gained during previous assessments shall be taken into account. Surveillance on-site assessments are less comprehensive than reassessments.

11.2. The competent authority shall design its plan for reassessment and surveillance of each designated technical service so that representative samples of the scope of designation are assessed on a regular basis.

The interval between on-site assessments, whether reassessment or surveillance, depends on the proven stability that the technical service has reached.

11.3. When, during surveillance or reassessments, non-conformities are identified, the competent authority shall define strict time limits for corrective actions to be implemented.

11.4. When the corrective or improvement actions have not been taken within the agreed timeframe or are not deemed to be sufficient, the competent authority shall adopt appropriate measures, such as conducting a further assessment or suspending/withdrawing the designation for one or more of the activities for which the technical service has been designated.

11.5. When the competent authority decides to suspend or withdraw the designation of a technical service, it shall inform the latter by registered mail. In any case, the competent authority shall adopt all the necessary measures to ensure the continuity of the activities already undertaken by the technical service.

12.    Records on designated technical services

12.1. The competent authority shall maintain records on technical services to demonstrate that requirements for designation, including competence, have been effectively fulfilled.

12.2. The competent authority shall keep the records on technical services secure to ensure confidentiality.

12.3. Records on technical services shall include at least the following:

(a) relevant correspondence;

(b) assessment records and reports;

(c) copies of designation certificates.




Appendix 3

General requirements concerning the format of the test reports

1. For each of the regulatory acts listed in Part I of Annex IV, the test report shall comply with the provisions of Standard EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005. In particular it shall include the information mentioned in point 5.10.2, including footnote (1) of that Standard.

2. The template of the test reports shall be laid down by the approval authority in accordance with its rules of good practice.

3. The test report shall be drafted in the official language of the Community determined by the approval authority.

4. Moreover it shall include at least the following information:

(a) the identification of the vehicle, component or separate technical unit tested;

(b) a detailed description of the vehicle, component or separate technical unit characteristics in connection with the regulatory act;

(c) the results of the measurements specified in the relevant regulatory acts and, when required, the limits or thresholds which are to be met;

(d) in regard to each measurement mentioned in point 4(c) the relevant decision: passed or failed;

(e) a detailed statement of compliance with the various provisions which are to be met, i.e. such provisions for which it is not required to make measurements.

Example from Section 3.2.2 of Annex I to Council Directive 76/114/EEC ( 65 ):

‘Check that the vehicle identification number is placed in such a way that it cannot be obliterated or deteriorate’;

the report shall include a statement such as: ‘the place of stamping the vehicle identification number fulfils the requirements of Section 3.2.2 of Annex I’;

(f) when test methods other than those prescribed in the regulatory acts are permitted the report shall include a description of the test method used for performing the test.

The same applies when alternative provisions in the regulatory acts may be used;

(g) pictures taken during testing, the number of which shall be decided by the approval authority.

In the case of virtual testing, screen prints or other suitable evidence may replace pictures;

(h) conclusions drawn up;

(i) when opinions and interpretations have been made, they shall be documented properly and marked as such in the test report.

5. When the tests are conducted on a vehicle, component or technical unit that combines a number of most unfavourable features with regard to the required level of performance to be achieved (i.e. the worst-case), the test report shall include a reference stating how the selection has been made by the manufacturer in agreement with the approval authority.

ANNEX IX

EC CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY

0.   OBJECTIVES

The certificate of conformity is a statement delivered by the vehicle manufacturer to the buyer in order to assure him that the vehicle he has acquired complies with the legislation in force in the European Union at the time it was produced.

The certificate of conformity also serves the purpose to enable the competent authorities of the Member States to register vehicles without having to require the applicant to supply additional technical documentation.

For these purposes, the certificate of conformity has to include:

(a) the Vehicle Identification Number;

(b) the exact technical characteristics of the vehicle (i.e. it is not permitted to mention any range of value in the various entries).

1.   GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1.1. The certificate of conformity shall consist of two parts.

(a) SIDE 1, which consists of a statement of compliance by the manufacturer. The same template is common to all vehicle categories.

(b) SIDE 2, which is a technical description of the main characteristics of the vehicle. The template of side 2 is adapted to each specific vehicle category.

1.2. The certificate of conformity shall be established in a maximum format A4 (210 × 297 mm) or a folder of maximum format A4.

1.3. Without prejudice to the provisions in Section O(b), the values and units indicated in the second part shall be those given in the type-approval documentation of the relevant regulatory acts. In case of conformity of production checks the values shall be verified according to the methods laid down in the relevant regulatory acts. The tolerances allowed in those regulatory acts shall be taken into account.

2.   SPECIAL PROVISIONS

2.1. Model A of the certificate of conformity (complete vehicle) shall cover vehicles which can be used on the road without requiring any further stage for their approval.

2.2. Model B of the certificate of conformity (completed vehicles) shall cover vehicles which have undergone a further stage for their approval.

This is the normal result of the multi-stage approval process (e.g. a bus built by a second stage manufacturer on a chassis built by a vehicle manufacturer).

The additional features added during the multi-stage process shall be described briefly.

2.3. Model C of the certificate of conformity (incomplete vehicles) shall cover vehicles which need a further stage for their approval (e.g. truck chassis).

Except for tractors for semi-trailers, certificates of conformity covering chassis-cab vehicles belonging to category N shall be of Model C.

ANNEX X

CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION PROCEDURES

0.    Objectives

0.1. The conformity of production procedure aims to ensure that each produced vehicle, system, component and technical separate unit is in conformity with the approved type.

0.2. Procedures include inseparably the assessment of quality management systems, referred to below as ‘initial assessment’ and verification of the approval subject and product-related controls, referred to as ‘product conformity arrangements’.

1.    Initial assessment

1.1. The approval authority of a Member State shall verify the existence of satisfactory arrangements and procedures for ensuring effective control so that components, systems, separate technical units or vehicles when in production conform to the approved type.

1.2. Guidance for conducting assessments may be found in Standard EN ISO 19011:2002 — Guidelines for quality and/or environmental management systems auditing.

1.3. The requirements referred to in point 1.1 shall be verified to the satisfaction of the authority granting type-approval.

That authority shall be satisfied with the initial assessment and the product conformity arrangements at section 2 below, taking account as necessary of one of the arrangements described in points 1.3.1 to 1.3.3, or a combination of those arrangements in full or in part as appropriate.

1.3.1. The actual initial assessment and/or verification of product conformity arrangements shall be carried out by the approval authority granting the approval or an appointed body acting on behalf of the approval authority.

1.3.1.1. When considering the extent of the initial assessment to be carried out, the approval authority may take account of available information relating to:

(a) the manufacturer’s certification described in point 1.3.3 below, which has not been qualified or recognised under that point;

(b) in the case of component or separate technical unit type-approval, quality system assessments performed in the component or separate technical unit manufacturer’s premises by vehicle manufacturer(s), according to one or more of the industry sector specifications satisfying the requirements in harmonised standard EN ISO 9001:2008.

1.3.2. The actual initial assessment and/or verification of product conformity arrangements may also be carried out by the approval authority of another Member State or the appointed body designated for this purpose by the approval authority.

1.3.2.1. In such a case, the approval authority of the other Member State shall prepare a statement of compliance outlining the areas and production facilities it has covered as relevant to the product(s) to be type-approved and to the regulatory acts according to which these products are to be type-approved.

1.3.2.2. On receiving an application for a compliance statement from the approval authority of a Member State granting type-approval, the approval authority of another Member State shall send forthwith the statement of compliance or advise that it is not in a position to provide such a statement.

1.3.2.3. The statement of compliance shall include at least the following:

Group or company

(e.g. XYZ Automotive)

Particular organisation

(e.g. European Division)

Plants/Sites

(e.g. Engine Plant 1 (United Kingdom) — Vehicle Plant 2 (Germany))

Vehicle/Component range

(e.g. All Category M1 models)

Areas assessed

(e.g. Engine assembly, body pressing and assembly, vehicle assembly)

Documents examined

(e.g. Company and site quality manual and procedures)

Date of the assessment

(e.g. Audit conducted from 18 to 30.5.2009)

Planned monitoring visit

(e.g. October 2010)

1.3.3. The approval authority shall also accept the manufacturer’s suitable certification to harmonised standard EN ISO 9001:2008 or an equivalent harmonised standard as satisfying the initial assessment requirements of point 1.3. The manufacturer shall provide details of the certification and undertake to inform the approval authority of any revisions to its validity or scope.

1.4. For the purpose of vehicle type-approval, the initial assessments carried out for granting approvals for systems, components and technical units of the vehicle need not be repeated but shall be completed by an assessment covering the locations and activities relating to the assembly of the whole vehicle not covered by the former assessments.

2.    Product conformity arrangements

2.1. Every vehicle, system, component or separate technical unit approved pursuant to this Directive or a separate Directive or Regulation shall be so manufactured as to conform to the type approved by meeting the requirements of this Directive or the applicable regulatory acts listed in Annex IV.

2.2. The approval authority of a Member State shall verify the existence of adequate arrangements and documented control plans, to be agreed with the manufacturer for each approval, to carry out at specified intervals those tests or associated checks necessary to verify continued conformity with the approved type including specifically physical tests specified in the regulatory acts.

2.3. The holder of the type-approval shall, in particular:

2.3.1. ensure the existence and application of procedures for effective control of the conformity of products (vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units) to the approved type;

2.3.2. have access to the testing or other appropriate equipment necessary for checking the conformity to each approved type;

2.3.3. ensure that test or check results data are recorded and that annexed documents remain available for a period to be determined in agreement with the approval authority. This period shall not exceed 10 years;

2.3.4. analyse the results of each type of test or check, in order to verify and ensure the stability of the product characteristics, making allowance for variation of an industrial production;

2.3.5. ensure that for each type of product, at least the checks prescribed in this Directive and the tests prescribed in the applicable regulatory acts listed in Annex IV are carried out;

2.3.6. ensure that any set of samples or test pieces, giving evidence of non-conformity in the type of test or check in question gives rise to a further sampling and test or check. All the necessary steps shall be taken to restore conformity of the corresponding production;

2.3.7. in the case of vehicle type-approval, the checks referred to in point 2.3.5 shall at least consist in verifying the correct built specifications in relation to the approval and the information required for certificates of conformity given in Annex IX.

3.    Continued verification arrangements

3.1. The authority which has granted type-approval may at any time verify the conformity control methods applied in each production facility.

3.1.1. The normal arrangements shall be to monitor the continued effectiveness of the procedures laid down in Sections 1 and 2 (initial assessment and product conformity arrangements) of this Annex.

3.1.1.1. Surveillance activities carried out by the technical services (qualified or recognised as required in point 1.3.3) shall be accepted as satisfying the requirements of point 3.1.1 with regard to the procedures established at initial assessment.

3.1.1.2. The normal frequency of verifications by the approval authority (other than those referred to in point 3.1.1.1) shall be such as to ensure that the relevant controls applied in accordance with Sections 1 and 2 are reviewed over a period consistent with the climate of trust established by the approval authority.

3.2. At every review, records of tests or checks and records of production shall be made available to the inspector; in particular, records of those tests or checks documented as required in point 2.2.

3.3. The inspector may select samples at random to be tested in the manufacturer’s laboratory or in the facilities of the technical service. In such a case only physical test shall be carried out. The minimum number of samples may be determined according to the results of the manufacturer’s own verification.

3.4. Where the level of control appears unsatisfactory, or when it seems necessary to verify the validity of the tests carried out in accordance with point 3.2, the inspector shall select samples to be sent to a technical service to perform physical tests.

3.5. Where unsatisfactory results are found during an inspection or a monitoring review, the approval authority shall ensure that all necessary steps are taken to restore conformity of production as rapidly as possible.

ANNEX XV

REGULATORY ACTS FOR WHICH A MANUFACTURER MAY BE DESIGNATED AS TECHNICAL SERVICE

0.    Objectives and scope

0.1. This Annex lays down the list of the regulatory acts for which a manufacturer may be designated as technical service in accordance with Article 41(6).

0.2. It also includes appropriate provisions concerning the designation of a manufacturer as technical service, to be applied in the framework of the type-approval of vehicles, components and separate technical units concerned by Part I of Annex IV.

0.3. However it does not apply to manufacturers which apply for small series approval in accordance with Article 22.

1.    Appointment of a manufacturer as technical service

1.1. A manufacturer appointed as technical service is a manufacturer who has been designated by the approval authority as a testing laboratory to carry out approval tests on its behalf in the meaning of point 31 of Article 3.

In accordance with Article 41(6), a manufacturer may only be designated as technical service for category A activities.

1.2. The expression ‘to carry out test’ is not restricted to the measurement of performances but covers also the registration of test results and the submission of a report to the approval authority including the relevant conclusions.

It covers the checking of compliance with those provisions which do not necessarily require measurement. This is the case for the assessment of the design against legislative requirements.

For example, ‘check compliance of the location of the fuel tank in a vehicle with the provisions of point 5.10 of Annex I to Directive 70/221/EEC’ has to be understood as part of ‘to carry out test’.

ANNEX XVII

PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED DURING MULTI-STAGE EC TYPE-APPROVAL

1.   GENERAL

1.1.

The satisfactory operation of the process of multi-stage EC type-approval requires joint action by all the manufacturers concerned. To this end approval authorities must ensure, before granting first and subsequent stage approval, that suitable arrangements exist between the relevant manufacturers for the supply and interchange of documents and information such that the completed vehicle type meets the technical requirements of all the relevant regulatory acts as prescribed in Annex IV or Annex XI. Such information must include details of relevant system, component and separate technical unit approvals and of vehicle parts which form part of the incomplete vehicle but are not yet approved.

1.2.

EC type-approvals in accordance with this Annex are granted on the basis of the current state of completion of the vehicle type and must incorporate all approvals granted at earlier stages.

1.3.

Each manufacturer in a multi-stage EC type-approval process is responsible for the approval and conformity of production of all systems, components or separate technical units manufactured by him or added by him to the previously built stage. He is not responsible for subjects which have been approved in an earlier stage except in those cases where he modifies relevant parts to an extent that the previously granted approval becomes invalid.

2.   PROCEDURES

The type-approval authority must:

Vehicle identification number

(a) The identification number of the base vehicle (VIN) prescribed by Directive 76/114/EEC shall be retained during all the subsequent stages of the type-approval process to ensure the ‘traceability’ of the process.

(b) However, at the final stage of completion, the manufacturer concerned by this stage may replace, in agreement with the approval authority, the first and second sections of the vehicle identification number by his own vehicle manufacturer code and the vehicle identification code if, and only if, the vehicle has to be registered under his own trade name. In such a case, the complete vehicle identification number of the base vehicle shall not be deleted.

4.2.

Additional manufacturer’s plate

At the second and subsequent stages, in addition to the statutory plate prescribed by Directive 76/114/EEC, each manufacturer must affix to the vehicle an additional plate the model of which is shown in the appendix to this Annex. This plate must be firmly attached, in a conspicuous and readily accessible position on a part not subject to replacement in use. It must show clearly and indelibly the following information in the order listed:

 name of the manufacturer,

 Sections 1, 3 and 4 of the EC type-approval number,

 the stage of approval,

 vehicle identification number,

 maximum permissible laden mass of the vehicle ( 98 ),

 maximum permissible laden mass of the combination (where the vehicle is permitted to tow a trailer) (98) ,

 maximum permissible mass on each axle, listed in order from front to rear (98) ,

 in the case of a semi-trailer or centre axle trailer, the maximum permitted mass on the coupling device (98) .

Unless otherwise provided for above, the plate must comply with the requirements of Directive 76/114/EEC.
