THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2013 on the approval                           and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles(1), and in particular Articles 18(3), 20(2), 22(5) and 54(3) thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)The internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and                              capital is ensured. To that end, comprehensive EU type-approval and a strengthened market surveillance system for L-category                              vehicles and its systems, components and separate technical units, as defined by Regulation (EU) No 168/2013, apply.

(2)The term ‘L-category vehicles’ covers a wide range of light vehicle types with two, three or four wheels, e.g. powered cycles,                              two- and three-wheel mopeds, two- and three-wheel motorcycles, motorcycles with side-cars and four-wheel vehicles (quadricycles)                              such as on-road quads, all-terrain vehicles and quadrimobiles.

(3)By Council Decision 97/836/EC(2), the Union 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 be used on wheeled vehicles                              and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions (‘Revised 1958 Agreement’).

(4)By Decision 97/836/EC, the Union also acceded to United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) regulations Nos 1,                              3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 25, 26, 28, 31, 34, 37, 38, 39, 43, 44, 46, 48, 58, 66, 73,                              77, 79, 80, 87, 89, 90, 91, 93, 97, 98, 99, 100 and 102.

(5)The Union acceded to UNECE regulation No 110 on specific components of motor vehicles using compressed natural gas (CNG) in                              their propulsion system and on vehicles with regard to the installation of specific components of an approved type for the                              use of compressed natural gas (CNG) in their propulsion system. By Council Decision 2000/710/EC(3), the Union has also acceded to UNECE regulation No 67 on the approval of special equipment for motor vehicles fuelled by                              liquefied petroleum gas.

(6)Manufacturers apply for type approval for L-category vehicles, their systems, components or separate technical units in accordance                              with Regulation (EU) No 168/2013. In the Union legislation most requirements on vehicle parts are taken over from the corresponding                              UNECE regulations. UNECE regulations are constantly amended in line with technological progress and the respective Union regulations                              have to be regularly updated accordingly. In order to avoid this duplication, the CARS 21 High Level Group recommended(4) the replacement of several Union directives by way of the incorporation and compulsory application of the corresponding UNECE                              regulations in Union law.

(7)The possibility of applying UNECE regulations by virtue of Union legislation that provides for the incorporation of those                              UNECE regulations for the purpose of EU vehicle type-approval is provided for in Regulation (EU) No 168/2013. Under that Regulation,                              type-approval in accordance with UNECE regulations which apply on a compulsory basis is regarded as EU type-approval in accordance                              with that Regulation and its delegated and implementing acts.

(8)The compulsory application of UNECE regulations helps avoiding duplication not only of technical requirements but also of                              certification and administrative procedures. In addition, type-approval that is directly based on internationally agreed standards                              could improve market access in third countries, in particular those which are contracting parties to the Revised 1958 Agreement,                              and thus enhance the Union industry’s competitiveness.

(9)It is appropriate to include UNECE regulations Nos 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23, 26, 28, 30, 31, 34, 37,                              38, 39, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 60, 62, 64, 67, 72, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 81, 82, 87, 90, 91, 97, 98, 99, 100,,                              104, 106, 110, 112, 113, 116, 119, 121, 122, 123 and 127 in the list of UNECE regulations that apply on a compulsory basis                              set out in Annex I to this Regulation.

(10)Article 22 of, and Annexes II(B) and VIII to, Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 lay down functional safety requirements. Requirements                              regarding saddles and seats, steer-ability, cornering properties and turn-ability, endurance testing of functional safety                              critical systems, parts and equipment and vehicle structure integrity are deemed paramount for the functional safety of an                              L-category vehicle, as well as requirements on electrical safety, which was added in order to adapt to technical progress.                              Requirements regarding the maximum speed limitation plate and its location on the vehicle as also regarding roll-over protective                              structure have been adopted to address specific characteristics of category L7e-B vehicle’s that are designed for off-road                              use but that travel also on hard-paved public roads.

(11)The limitation to ‘four’ of the ratio of auxiliary propulsion power and actual pedal power for cycles designed to pedal set                              out in Annex XIX should be subject to further scientific research and assessment. Upon availability of scientific data and                              statistics on vehicles placed on the market, the ratio ‘four’ referred to above may be revisited in a future revision of this                              Regulation.

(12)This Regulation should apply as from date of application of Regulation (EU) No 168/2013,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

### ANNEX II**Test procedures and performance requirements applying to audible warning devices**

### PART 1U.K.***Requirements applying to the component type-approval of a type of mechanical or electrical audible warning device intended                              to be fitted to vehicles of categories L1e, L2e and L6e***

#### 1.General requirementsU.K.

##### 1.1.Electrical audible warning devices shall emit a continuous, uniform sound and their sound spectrum shall not vary perceptibly                        during operation. In the case of warning devices supplied with an alternating current, this requirement applies solely at                        constant generator speed, that speed lying within the range specified in point 2.3.2.U.K.

##### 1.2.Electrical audible warning devices shall have sound characteristics (spectral distribution of the sound energy, sound pressure                        level) and mechanical characteristics such that, in the order stated, they pass the tests specified in points 2 to 3.4.U.K.

##### 1.3.Electrical audible warning devices may incorporate a feature enabling the device to operate at a significantly lower sound                        pressure level volume.U.K.

##### 1.4.Mechanical audible warning devices shall be equipped with a thumb-operated lever, either of the puller bell type geared to                        rapidly rotate two loosely-slung metal discs inside the bell housing, or of the single stroke bell type.U.K.

#### 2.Sound level measurementsU.K.

##### 2.1.Audible warning devices shall preferably be tested in an anechoic environment. They may alternatively be tested in a semi-anechoic                        chamber or in a cleared outside space. In this case, precautions shall be taken to avoid reflections off the ground in the                        measuring area, e.g. by providing a number of absorbent screens. It shall be checked that the spherical distortion is no more                        than 1 dB(A) within a hemisphere of a radius of at least 5 m up to the maximum frequency to be measured, this mainly being                        in the direction of measurement and at the height of the device and microphone. The ambient noise shall be at least 10 dB(A)                        lower than the sound pressure levels to be measured.U.K.

The device submitted for testing and the microphone shall be at the same height, which shall be between 1,15 and 1,25 m. The                     line of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall coincide with the direction in which the sound level of the warning device                     is at its highest level.                  

The microphone shall be positioned such that its diaphragm is at a distance of 2 ± 0,01 m from the exit plane of the sound                     emitted by the device. In the case of devices with several exits, this distance shall be determined in relation to the exit                     plane closest to the microphone.                  

##### 2.2.The measurements of the sound pressure level shall involve the use of a class-1 precision sound-level meter meeting the requirements                        of IEC publication No 651, first edition (1979).U.K.

All measurements shall be carried out using the ‘rapid’ time constant. The (A) weighting curve shall be used to measure the                     overall sound pressure levels.                  

The Fourier transform of the sound signal shall be used in measuring the emitted-sound spectrum. Alternatively, third-octave                     filters meeting the requirements set out in IEC publication No 225, first edition (1966), may be used, in which case the sound                     pressure level within the 2 500 Hz centre-octave frequency band shall be determined by adding the quadratic means of the sound                     pressures in the third-octave bands of centre frequencies of 2 000, 2 500 and 3 150 Hz.                  

In all cases, only the Fourier transform method may be regarded as a reference method.

##### 2.3.The electrical audible warning device shall be supplied with one of the following voltages, as appropriate:U.K.

In the case of audible warning devices receiving direct current, a test voltage of 6,5, 13,0 or 26,0 V, measured at the output                              side of the electricity source and corresponding to a nominal voltage of 6, 12 or 24 V respectively.                           

Where an audible warning device receives direct current which has to be supplied by an electrical generator of the type normally                              used with this type of device, the acoustic characteristics of the device shall be recorded at alternator speeds corresponding                              to 50 %, 75 % and 100 % of the maximum speed stated by the manufacturer of the alternator for continuous operation. The alternator                              shall be subject to no other electrical load during the test. The endurance test described in points 3 to 3.4 shall be carried                              out at a speed stated by the manufacturer of the equipment and selected from the range referred to above.                           

If a rectified current is used for the test on an audible warning device receiving direct current, the unsmoothed component                              of the voltage at its terminals, measured from peak to peak during operation of the warning device, shall not exceed 0,1 V.                           

The resistance of the electrical conductor for audible warning devices receiving direct current, including the resistance                              of the terminals and contacts, shall lie as close as possible to 0,05 Ω for a nominal voltage of 6 V, 0,10 Ω for a nominal                              voltage of 12 V and 0,20 Ω for a nominal voltage of 24 V.

#### Appendix 1**Isolation resistance measurement method for vehicle based test**

##### 1.GeneralU.K.

The isolation resistance for each high voltage bus of the vehicle shall be measured or shall be determined by calculation                     using measurement values from each part or component unit of a high voltage bus (hereinafter referred to as the ‘divided measurement’).                  

##### 2.Measurement methodU.K.

The isolation resistance measurement shall be conducted by selecting an appropriate measurement method from among those listed                     in points 2.1 to 2.2, depending on the electrical charge of the live parts or the isolation resistance, etc.                  

The range of the electrical circuit to be measured shall be clarified in advance, using electrical circuit diagrams, etc.

Moreover, modification necessary for measuring the isolation resistance may be carried out, such as removal of the cover in                     order to reach the live parts, drawing of measurement lines, change in software, etc.                  

In cases where the measured values are not stable due to the operation of the on-board isolation resistance monitoring system,                     etc., necessary modification for conducting the measurement may be carried out, such as stopping of the operation of the device                     concerned or removing it. Furthermore, when the device is removed, it shall be proven, using drawings, etc., that it will                     not change the isolation resistance between the live parts and the electrical chassis.                  

Utmost care shall be exercised as to short circuit, electric shock, etc., for this confirmation might require direct operations                     of the high-voltage circuit.                  

###### 2.1.Measurement method using voltage from off-vehicle sourcesU.K.

###### 2.1.1.Measurement instrumentU.K.

An isolation resistance test instrument capable of applying a DC voltage higher than the working voltage of the high voltage                     bus shall be used.                  

###### 2.1.2.Measurement methodU.K.

An insulator resistance test instrument shall be connected between the live parts and the electrical chassis. Then, the isolation                     resistance shall be measured by applying a DC voltage at least half of the working voltage of the high voltage bus.                  

If the system has several voltage ranges (e.g. because of boost converter) in galvanically connected circuit and some of the                     components cannot withstand the working voltage of the entire circuit, the isolation resistance between those components and                     the electrical chassis can be measured separately by applying at least half of their own working voltage with those component                     disconnected.

The high voltage-bus shall be energised by the vehicle’s own REESS and/or energy conversion system and the voltage level of                     the REESS and/or energy conversion system throughout the test shall be at least the nominal operating voltage as specified                     by the vehicle manufacturer.                  

###### 2.2.2.Measurement instrumentU.K.

The voltmeter used in this test shall measure DC values and shall have an internal resistance of at least 10 MΩ.

###### 2.2.3.Measurement methodU.K.

###### 2.2.3.1.First stepU.K.

The voltage is measured as shown in Figure 4-Ap1-1 and the high voltage bus voltage (Vb) is recorded. Vb shall be equal to                     or greater than the nominal operating voltage of the REESS and/or energy conversion system as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.                  

*Figure 4-Ap1-1*

**Measurement of Vb, V1, V2**

###### 2.2.3.2.Second stepU.K.

Measure and record the voltage (V1) between the negative side of the high voltage bus and the electrical chassis (see Figure                     4-Ap1-1).                  

###### 2.2.3.3.Third stepU.K.

Measure and record the voltage (V2) between the positive side of the high voltage bus and the electrical chassis (see Figure                     4-Ap1-1).                  

###### 2.2.3.4.Fourth stepU.K.

If V1 is greater than or equal to V2, insert a standard known resistance (Ro) between the negative side of the high voltage                     bus and the electrical chassis. With Ro installed, measure the voltage (V1’) between the negative side of the high voltage                     bus and the electrical chassis (see Figure 4-Ap1-2).                  

Calculate the electrical isolation (Ri) according to the following formula:

  or                      

*Figure 4-Ap1-2*

**Measurement of V1’**

If V2 is greater than V1, insert a standard known resistance (Ro) between the positive side of the high voltage bus and the                     electrical chassis. With Ro installed, measure the voltage (V2’) between the positive side of the high voltage bus and the                     electrical chassis (see Figure 4-Ap1-3). Calculate the electrical isolation (Ri) according to the formula shown. Divide this                     electrical isolation value (in Ω) by the nominal operating voltage of the high voltage bus (in V).                  

Calculate the electrical isolation (Ri) according to the following formula:

  or                      

*Figure 4-Ap1-3*

**Measurement of V2’**

###### 2.2.3.5.Fifth stepU.K.

The electrical isolation value Ri (in Ω) divided by the working voltage of the high voltage bus (in volts) results in the                     isolation resistance (in Ω/V).                  

Note: The standard known resistance Ro (in Ω) should be the value of the minimum required isolation resistance (in Ω/V) multiplied                     by the working voltage of the vehicle plus/minus 20 per cent (in V). Ro is not required to be precisely this value since the                     equations are valid for any Ro; however, a Ro value in this range should provide good resolution for the voltage measurements.U.K.                  

#### Appendix 2**Confirmation method for function of on-board isolation resistance monitoring system**

##### 1.The function of the on-board isolation resistance monitoring system shall be confirmed by the following method:U.K.

Insert a resistor that does not cause the isolation resistance between the terminal being monitored and the electrical chassis                     to drop below the minimum required isolation resistance value. The warning shall be activated.                  

#### Appendix 3**Protection against direct contacts of parts under voltage**

##### 1.Access probesU.K.

Access probes to verify the protection of persons against access to live parts are given in Table 4-Ap3-1.

##### 2.Test conditionsU.K.

The access probe is pushed against any openings of the enclosure with the force specified in Table 4-Ap3-1. If it partly or                     fully penetrates, it is placed in every possible position, but in no case shall the stop face fully penetrate through the                     opening.                  

Internal barriers are considered part of the enclosure

A low-voltage supply of ≥ 40 V and ≤ 50 V in series with a suitable lamp shall be connected, if necessary, between the probe                     and live parts inside the barrier or enclosure.                  

The signal-circuit method shall also be applied to the moving live parts of high voltage equipment.

Internal moving parts may be operated or otherwise repositioned slowly, where this is possible.

##### 3.Acceptance conditionsU.K.

The access probe shall not touch live parts.

If this requirement is verified by a signal circuit between the probe and live parts, the lamp shall not light up.

In the case of the test for IPXXB, the jointed test finger may penetrate to its 80 mm length, but the stop face (diameter                     50 mm x 20 mm) shall not pass through the opening. Starting from the straight position, both joints of the test finger shall                     be successively bent through an angle of up to 90 degree with respect to the axis of the adjoining section of the finger and                     shall be placed in every possible position.                  

In case of the tests for IPXXD, the access probe may penetrate to its full length, but the stop face shall not fully penetrate                     through the opening.

The longitudinal median plane of the seating position shall pass points L1 and L2 at no less than 120 mm from those points.U.K.

##### 1.5.Location of the upper effective safety belt anchoragesU.K.

###### 1.5.1.If a strap guide, D-ring or similar device affecting the position of an effective safety belt upper anchorage is used, that                        position is determined in a conventional manner by considering the position of the anchorage when the safety belt is worn                        by an occupant, represented by a 50th percentile male manikin, with the seat adjusted to the design position as specified                        by the vehicle manufacturer.U.K.

###### 1.5.2.Points J1 and J2 shall be determined as follows:U.K.

          -  point J1 is determined in relation to the R-point by means of the following three segments:                          — RZ
:

segments of torso reference line measured from the R-point upwards over a length of 530 mm;
  — ZX

segment perpendicular to the longitudinal median plane of the vehicle measured from point Z in the direction of the anchorage                              and having a length of 120 mm;                           
  — XJ1
:

segment perpendicular to the plane defined by segments RZ and ZX measured from point X forwards over a length of 60 mm;

###### 1.5.3.A single upper effective safety belt anchorage point shall comply with the following requirements:U.K.

The upper effective safety belt anchorage point shall lie below the plane FN that is perpendicular to the longitudinal median                              plane of the seating position and forms an angle of 65° with the torso reference line. For rear seats, this angle may be reduced                              to 60°. The plane FN may therefore not be perfectly horizontal and shall intersect the torso reference line at a point D so                              that:                           

 .                           

However, if S does not exceed 200 mm:

DR = 675 mm.

The upper effective safety belt anchorage point shall also lie behind plane FK perpendicular to the longitudinal median plane                              of the seat and intersect the torso reference line at an angle of 120° at a point B so that:                           

 .                           

If S is not less than 280 mm, the vehicle manufacturer may opt to use:

The value S shall not be less than 140 mm.

The upper effective safety belt anchorage point shall also be located behind a vertical plane that is perpendicular to the                              longitudinal median plane of the vehicle and passes through the R-point.                           

The upper effective safety belt anchorage point shall also be located above the horizontal plane passing through the point                              C.                           

Point C is located 450 mm vertically above the R-point.

However, if distance S is 280 mm or more and if the vehicle manufacturer did not opt to use the alternative formula for BR                              in point 1.5.3.2, the vertical distance of 500 mm between point C and the R-point shall apply.                           

More than one actual upper safety belt anchorage point may be fitted, provided that all resulting effective safety belt anchorage                              points meet the requirements of points 1.5.3 to 1.5.3.5.                           

If the height of the upper safety belt anchorage point is manually adjustable without the use of any tools, all selectable                              upper safety belt anchorage point positions and the resulting effective safety belt anchorage points shall comply with the                              requirements of points 1.5.3 to 1.5.3.5. In this case, the permitted area as defined above may be enlarged by shifting it                              80 mm upwards and downwards in the vertical direction; however, the permitted area remains bounded by the horizontal plane                              passing through point C (See Figure 11-P2-1).

          -  where there is a single actual safety belt anchorage point (i.e. both ends of the safety belt are to be attached to a single                           anchorage point), this shall be located within the area common to two dihedrals bounded by vertical lines passing through                           the points J1 and J2, and for each point forming an angle of 30° horizontally between two vertical planes which are in turn related to the two                           vertical longitudinal planes intersecting both J1 and J2 and forming an outward angle of 10° and an inward angle of 20° with those longitudinal planes. (See Figure 11-2);                         
          -  where there are two separate actual safety belt anchorage points, these shall be located within each of the respective areas                           formed by dihedrals bounded by vertical lines passing through the points J1 and J2, and for each point forming an angle of 30° horizontally between two vertical planes which are in turn related to the two                           vertical longitudinal planes intersecting both J1 and J2 and forming an outward angle of 10° and an inward angle of 20° with those longitudinal planes. (See Figure 11-P2-2). In addition,                           the two anchorage points shall be so located that they are no more than 50 mm apart in any direction when one of the points                           is mirrored in relation to the vertical longitudinal plane passing through the R-point of the seating position in question.

###### 1.1.2.3.For vehicles which are propelled by means of one or more electric motors, including pure and hybrid electric vehicles:U.K.

Maximum vehicle speed and/or maximum power shall be limited by means of two or more of the following:
          -  reduction of the maximum power output of one or more electric motors based on the vehicle or rotation speed as sensed internally                           to the electric motor,                         
          -  reduction of the maximum power output of one or more electric motors based on the actual vehicle speed as sensed fully externally                           to the electric motor, and                         
          -  physical vehicle speed limitation by means of internal or external components such as a maximum achievable revolution speed                           of an electric motor.                         

###### 1.1.2.4.For vehicles which are propelled by means other than those listed above:U.K.

Maximum vehicle speed and/or maximum power shall be limited by two or more separate means, which shall as far as possible                     be based on the abovementioned adjustment, reduction or physical speed limitation principles.                  

###### 1.1.2.5.At least two of the limitation methods used, as referred to in points 1.1.2.1 to 1.1.2.4., shall operate independently of                        each other, be different in nature and have different design philosophies, although they may apply similar elements (e.g.                        both methods based on the notion of speed as a criterion, but one measured inside a motor and the other at the drive-train                        gearbox). Failure of one method to work as intended (e.g. due to tampering) shall not impair the limitation function of other                        methods. In this case, the maximum power and/or speed which can be attained may be lower than under normal conditions.U.K.

###### 1.1.3.The maximum vehicle speed or power shall not be limited by means of a mechanical throttle stop or any other mechanical stop                        that limits the opening of a throttle to restrict the engine’s air intake.U.K.

###### 1.1.4.The provision and use of any other means enabling the vehicle operator to adjust, set, select or alter the maximum vehicle                        speed and/or maximum power limitation directly or indirectly (e.g. high performance switch, special encoded recognition transponder                        in ignition key, physical or electronic jumper setting, selectable option through electronic menu, programmable feature of                        control unit) is prohibited.U.K.

#### 2.Requirements concerning type-approval demonstrationU.K.

##### 2.1.All items shall be verified. The vehicle manufacturer shall demonstrate compliance with the specific requirements of points                        1.1 to 1.1.2.5 by proving that two or more of the methods implemented, by integrating specific devices and/or functions in                        the vehicle propulsion system, ensure the required maximum continuous rated or net power and/or maximum vehicle speed limitation                        and that each method does so in a fully independent manner.U.K.

###### 2.1.1.The vehicle manufacturer shall prepare the demonstration vehicle so as to ensure that only one method is applied during the                        type-approval test. The specific vehicle preparation and demonstration test shall be carried out in full agreement with the                        technical service.U.K.

###### 2.1.2.The technical service may request the preparation and demonstration of additional failure modes which may be the result of                        intentional tampering and may or may not cause damage to the vehicle.U.K.

### ANNEX XIX**Requirements regarding vehicle structure integrity**

#### 1.Requirements for the approval of a type of vehicle with regard to structural integrityU.K.

##### 1.1.Vehicles shall be so designed and constructed as to be sufficiently robust to withstand their intended use over their normal                        lifetime, taking into account regular and scheduled maintenance and specific equipment adjustments clearly and unambiguously                        set out in the instruction manual provided with the vehicle. The vehicle manufacturer shall provide a signed statement to                        this effect.U.K.

##### 1.1.1.Vehicles of category L1e-A and cycles designed to pedal of vehicle category L1e-B shall be designed and constructed as to                        conform with all prescriptions regarding strength and construction of front forks and frames as encompassed in standard EN                        14764:2005, specifying safety and performance requirements for the design, assembly, and testing of bicycles and subassemblies                        intended for use on public roads.U.K.

##### 1.1.2.Cycles designed to pedal of vehicle category L1e-B shall have a mass in running order ≤ 35 kg and shall be fitted with pedals                        enabling the vehicle to be propelled solely by the rider’s muscular leg power. The vehicle shall feature adjustable rider                        positioning in order to enhance the ergonomic posture of the rider for pedalling. The auxiliary propulsion power shall be                        added to the driver’s pedal power and shall be less than or equal to four times the actual pedal power.U.K.

##### 1.2.Vehicle assembly and construction in the assembly plant(s), in particular the processes relating to the vehicle frame, chassis                        and/or body and the drivetrain, shall be covered by a quality assurance system to ensure that essential mechanical connections                        such as welds and threaded connections, as well as other relevant material characteristics, are checked and verified as appropriate.U.K.

##### 1.2.1.The requirements of point 1.2 shall be covered by the vehicle manufacturers’ obligations regarding the conformity of production                        arrangements referred to in Article 33 of Regulation (EU) No 168/2013.U.K.

##### 1.3.In accordance with Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 168/2013, the type-approval authority shall verify that in the event of                        a recall due to a serious safety risk, specific analysis of vehicle structures, components and/or parts by means of engineering                        calculations, virtual testing methods and/or structural testing can upon request be made available without delay to the approval                        authority and the European Commission.U.K.

##### 1.4.Vehicle type-approval shall not be granted if there is reason to doubt that the vehicle manufacturer is able to make available                        the analysis referred to in point 1.3. This doubt could relate either to the accessibility or the existence of such analysis                        (e.g. application for type-approval of a limited batch of vehicles from a non-established manufacturer represented by a party                        unlikely to have any meaningful access to such analysis).U.K.
