In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 595/2009, Articles 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information (4) shall apply mutatis mutandis. Therefore, it is appropriate to carry over to this Regulation the provisions on access to repair and maintenance information set out in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and its implementing measures. However, it is necessary to adapt those provisions in order to take into account the specificities of the heavy-duty vehicles.

| (4) | In particular, it is appropriate to adopt specific procedures for access to vehicle repair and maintenance information in accordance with Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 in the case of multi-stage type-approval. It is also appropriate to adopt specific requirements and procedures for access to vehicle repair and maintenance information in the case of customer adaptations and small volume production. Finally, it is appropriate to make reference to the specific standards for reprogramming developed for the heavy-duty vehicles. |

Finally, it is appropriate to make reference to the specific standards for reprogramming developed for the heavy-duty vehicles.

| (5) | Application of the provisions on access to repair and maintenance information may be too burdensome for vehicle manufacturers in the short term with respect to certain systems which are carried over from old vehicle types to new vehicle types. It is therefore appropriate to introduce certain limited derogations from the general provisions on access to vehicle OBD and vehicle repair and maintenance information. |

Until this standard is adopted, manufacturers shall provide vehicle OBD and vehicle repair and maintenance information in a standardised manner which is non-discriminatory compared to the provisions given or access granted to authorised dealers and repairers.
  Those requiring the right to duplicate or republish the information shall negotiate directly with the manufacturer concerned. Information for training material shall also be available, but may be presented through other media than websites.
  Information on all parts of the vehicle, with which the vehicle, as identified by the vehicle identification number (VIN) and any additional criteria such as wheelbase, engine output, trim level or options, is equipped by the vehicle manufacturer and which can be replaced by spare parts offered by the vehicle manufacturer to its authorised repairers or dealers or third parties by means of reference to original equipment (OE) parts number, shall be made available in a database which is easily accessible to independent operators.
  This database shall comprise the VIN, OE parts numbers, OE naming of the parts, validity attributes (valid-from and valid-to dates), fitting attributes and, where applicable, structuring characteristics.
  The information on the database shall be regularly updated. The updates shall include in particular all modifications to individual vehicles after their production if this information is available to authorised dealers. |

Vehicle OBD information

1.   The information required in this Appendix shall be provided by the vehicle manufacturer for the purposes of enabling the manufacture of OBD-compatible replacement or service parts and diagnostic tools and test equipment.

2.   Upon request, the following information shall be made available to any interested component, diagnostic tools or test equipment manufacturer, on a non-discriminatory basis:

| — | A description of the type and number of the preconditioning cycles used for the original type-approval of the vehicle. |
| --- | --- |

—

A description of the type and number of the preconditioning cycles used for the original type-approval of the vehicle.

| — | A description of the type of the OBD demonstration cycle used for the original type-approval of the vehicle for the component monitored by the OBD system. |
| --- | --- |

—

A description of the type of the OBD demonstration cycle used for the original type-approval of the vehicle for the component monitored by the OBD system.

| — | A comprehensive document describing all sensed components with the strategy for fault detection and MI activation (fixed number of driving cycles or statistical method), including a list of relevant secondary sensed parameters for each component monitored by the OBD system and a list of all OBD output codes and format used (with an explanation of each code and format) associated with individual emission-related power-train components and individual non-emission related components, where monitoring of the component is used to determine MI activation. In particular, in the case of vehicle types that use a communication link in accordance with ISO 15765-4 “Road vehicles — Diagnostics on controller area network (CAN) — Part 4: Requirements for emissions-related systems”, a comprehensive explanation for the data given in service $ 05 Test ID $ 21 to FF and the data given in service $ 06, and a comprehensive explanation for the data given in service $ 06 Test ID $ 00 to FF, for each OBD monitor ID supported, shall be provided. |
