(74/150/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;Having regard to the Opinion ofthe European Parliament (
1);
Having regard to the Opinion ofthe Economic and Social Commit-
tee (2);
Whereas in each Member State tractors must comply with certain
mandatory technical requirements; whereas such requirements differ
from one Member State to another and consequently hinder trade
within the European Economic Community;
Whereas such hindrances to the establishment and proper functioning
ofthe common market can be reduced, and even eliminated, ifallMember States adopt the same requirements, either in addition to orin place oftheir existing laws;
Whereas the requirements ofthis Directive apply to tractors f itted
with pneumatic types and having a maximum design speed between 6
and 25 km/h; whereas these requirements are intended principally toimprove safety on the road and at work in so far as the design ofthese vehicles is concerned; whereas, on the other hand, other tractorsand, in particular, those with a maximum design speed in excess of25
km/h will ifnecessary, be subject to special requirements;
Whereas it is the established practice ofthe Member States to check
that tractors comply with the relevant technical requirements beforethey are placed on the market; whereas this check is carried out ontractor types;
Whereas the harmonized technical requirements applicable to indivi-
dual tractor parts and characteristics should be specified in special
Directives;
Whereas at Community level it is necessary to introduce a Community
type-approval procedure for each tractor type in order that compliancewith the above requirements can be checked and that each MemberState may recognize checks carried out by other Member States;
Whereas that procedure must enable each Member State to ascertain
whether a tractor type has been submitted to the checks laid down by
special Directives and listed in a type-approval certificate; whereasthat procedure must enable manufacturers to complete a certificate ofconformity for all tractors which conform to an approved type;whereas a tractor accompanied by such a certificate must be consid-
ered by all Member States as conforming to their own laws; whereas
each Member State should inform the other Member States of its find-ings by sending a copy of the type-approval certificate completed foreach tractor type which has been approved;
Whereas, as a transitional measure, it must be possible to grant type-
approval on the basis ofCommunity requirements as and when special
Directives relating to the various tractor parts or characteristics enter
into force, national requirements remaining applicable in respect ofparts and characteristics still not covered by such Directives;

Whereas, without prejudice to Articles 169 and 170 ofthe Treaty, it
is advisable within the framework of cooperation between the compe-tent authorities ofthe Member States, to lay down provisions to help
resolve disputes ofa technical nature regarding the conf ormity ofpro-
duction models to an approved type;
Whereas a tractor may conform to an approved type but nevertheless
have certain features which are potential safety hazards on the road or
at work; whereas it is therefore advisable to prescribe an appropriate
procedure to preclude such hazards;
Whereas technical progress requires prompt adaption ofthe technical
requirements specified in the special Directives; whereas, in order to
facilitate implementation of the measures required for this purpose, a
procedure should be prescribed for establishing close cooperationbetween the Member States and the Commission within the Commit-tee on the Adaptation to Technical Progress ofthe Directives on theRemoval ofTechnical Barriers to Trade in the Agricultural or ForestryTractor Sector,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
CHAPTER I
Definitions
Article 1
1. ‘Agricultural or forestry tractor’ means any motor vehicle, fitted
with wheels or ►C1endless tracks ◄, having at least two axles, the
main function of which lies in its tractive power and which is spe-
cially designed to tow, push, carry or power certain tools, machineryor trailers intended for agricultural or forestry use. It may be equippedto carry a load and passengers.
2. This Directive shall apply only to tractors defined in paragraph 1
above which are fitted with pneumatic tyres and which have two axlesand a maximum design speed between 6 and 25 km/h.
Article 2
For the purposes ofthis Directive:
(a) ‘national type-approval’ means the administrative procedure
known as:
— ‘agréation par type’ and ‘aanneming’ in Belgian law;
— ‘standardtypegodkendelse’ in Danish law;— ‘allgemeine Betriebserlaubnis’ in German law;— ‘réception par type’ in French law;— ‘type-approval’ in Irish law;
— ‘omologazione’ or ‘approvazione del tipo’ in Italian law;
— ‘agréation’ in Luxembourg law;— ‘typegoedkeuring’ in Netherlands law;— ‘type-approval’ in the law ofthe United Kingdom.
(b) ‘EEC type-approval’ means the procedure whereby a Member
State certifies that a tractor type satisfies the technical require-ments ofthe special Directives and the checks listed in the EECtype-approval certificate, the model of which is given in Annex II.
CHAPTER II
EECtractortype-approval
Article 3
Application for EEC type-approval shall be submitted by the manufac-
turer or his authorized representative to a Member State. An applica-tion shall be accompanied by an information document, the model ofwhich is given in Annex I, and by the documents referred to therein.
1974L0150 — EN — 26.07.1979 — 001.001 — 4
▼B
No application in respect ofany one type oftractor may be submitted
to more than one Member State.
Article 4
1. A Member State shall approve all tractor types which satisfy the
following conditions:
(a) the tractor type must conform to the particulars in the information
document;
(b) the tractor type must satisfy the checks listed in the model,
referred to in Article 2 (b), of the type-approval certificate.
2. The Member State which has granted type-approval shall take
the necessary measures to verify, in so far as is necessary, and if needbe in cooperation with the competent authorities ofthe other MemberStates, that production models conform to the approved prototype.Such verification shall be limited to spot checks.
The Member State shall complete all the sections ofa type-approval
certificate for each tractor type which it approves.
Article 5
1. The competent authorities ofeach Member State shall send
within one month to the competent authorities ofthe other MemberStates a copy of the information document and approval certificate for
each tractor type which they approve or refuse to approve.
2. The manufacturer or his authorized representative in the country
ofregistration shall complete a certif icate ofconf ormity, the model ofwhich is given in Annex III, for each tractor manufactured in confor-
mity with the approved prototype.
3. Member States may, however, for purposes of tractor taxation or
completion ofits registration documents, ask f or particulars not men-
tioned in Annex III to be given on the certificate of conformity, pro-
vided that such particulars are explicitly stated on the informationdocument or can be derived therefrom by a straight-forward calcula-tion.
Article 6
1. The Member State which has granted EEC type-approval must
take the necessary measures to ensure that it is informed of any cessa-tion ofproduction and ofany change in particulars appearing in theinformation document.
2. Ifthe State in question considers that such a change does not
require an amendment to the existing type-approval certificate, orcompletion ofa new type-approval certif icate, the competent authori-
ties of that State shall inform the manufacturer thereof and shall send
to the competent authorities ofthe other Member States, in periodicconsignments, copies ofamendments to inf ormation documents whichhave already been distributed.
3. If the State in question finds that an amendment to an informa-
tion document warrants fresh checks or fresh tests and that it isaccordingly necessary to amend the existing type-approval certificateor complete a new type-approval certificate, the competent authoritiesof that State shall inform the manufacturer thereof and shall, within
one month ofsuch new documents being completed, send them to the
competent authorities ofthe other Member States.
4. Where a type-approval certificate is amended or replaced or pro-
duction ofthe approved tractor type ceases, the competent authorities
ofthe Member State which granted that type-approval shall, within
one month, communicate to the competent authorities ofthe otherMember States the serial numbers ofthe last tractor produced in con-formity with the old certificate and, where applicable, the serial num-bers of the first tractor produced in conformity with the new oramended certificate.
1974L0150 — EN — 26.07.1979 — 001.001 — 5
▼B
Article 7
1. No Member State may refuse the registration or may prohibit the
sale, entry into service or use ofany new tractor on grounds relating
to its construction or operation where that tractor is accompanied by a
certificate of conformity.
2. Nevertheless, this certificate shall not prevent a Member State
from taking such measures in respect of tractors which do not con-form to the approved prototype.
Failure to conform to the approved prototype shall be established
where deviations from the particulars in the information document are
found to exist and where these deviations have not been authorizedunder Article 6 (2) or (3) by the Member State which granted thetype-approval. A tractor shall not be considered to deviate from theapproved type where tolerances are permitted by special Directivesand these tolerances are respected.
Article 8
1. Ifthe Member State which has granted EEC type-approval f inds
that a number oftractors accompanied by a certif icate ofconf ormityto a particular type do not conform to the type which it has approved,it shall take the necessary measures to ensure that production modelsconform to the approved type. The competent authorities of that Stateshall advise those ofthe other Member States ofthe measures taken,
which may, where necessary, extend to withdrawal ofEEC type-
approval. The said authorities shall take like measures ifthey areinformed by the competent authorities of another Member State ofsuch failure to conform.
2. The competent authorities ofthe Member States shall inf orm one
another, within one month, ofany withdrawal ofEEC type-approval,
and ofthe reasons f or such a measure.
3. Ifthe Member State which has granted EEC type-approval dis-
putes the failure to conform notified to it, the Member States con-cerned shall endeavour to settle the dispute.
The Commission shall be kept informed and shall, where necessary,
hold appropriate consultations for the purpose of reaching a settle-
ment.
Article 9
1. Ifa Member State f inds that tractors ofa particular type may be
a hazard to safety on the road or at work, even though they areaccompanied by a properly issued certificate of conformity, then thatState may, for a maximum period of six months, refuse to registernew tractors ofthat type or prohibit their sale, entry into service or
use in its territory. It shall forthwith inform the other Member States
and the Commission thereof, stating the reasons for its decision.
2. The Commission shall within six weeks consult the Member
States concerned. It shall deliver an opinion without delay and takeappropriate steps. Where the Commission considers that an amend-ment as envisaged in Article 11 is necessary, the period oftime laid
down in paragraph 1 ofthis Article shall be extended until the proce-
dure set out in Article 13 has been completed.
Article 9a
1. Where the separate Directives make express provision for so
doing, EEC type-approval may also be granted for types of systems or
parts oftractors which f orm a separate technical unit.
2. Where the separate technical unit to be approved fulfils its func-
tion or offers a specific feature only in conjunction with other compo-nents ofthe tractor and f or this reason compliance with one or morerequirements can be verified only when the separate technical unit tobe approved operates in conjunction with other tractor components,▼
M1
1974L0150 — EN — 26.07.1979 — 001.001 — 6
▼M1
whether real or simulated, the scope ofthe EEC type-approval ofthe
separate technical unit must be restricted accordingly. The EEC type-approval certificate for a separate technical unit shall then include any
restrictions on its use and shall indicate any conditions for fitting it.
Observance ofthese restrictions and conditions shall be verif ied at thetime ofEEC type-approval ofthe tractor.
3. Articles 3 to 9 and 14 shall apply by analogy.However, the holder ofthe EEC type-approval f or a separate technical
unit granted in accordance with this Article shall be obliged not onlyto complete the certificate provided for in Article 5 (2), but also toaffix to each unit manufactured in conformity with the approved typethe trade name or mark, the type and, ifthe separate Directive so pro-vides, the type-approval number.
CHAPTER III
Transitionalprovisions
Article 10
1. Once this Directive has entered into force and as the special
Directives necessary for the granting of EEC type-approval become
applicable:
— in Member States where tractors or a category oftractor are sub-
ject to national type-approval, such national type-approval shall bebased on the harmonized technical requirements instead ofon thecorresponding national requirements ifthe applicant so requests;
— in Member States where tractors or a category oftractor are not
subject to national type-approval, the sale, registration, entry intoservice or use ofsuch tractors may not be ref used or prohibited onthe grounds that they comply with the harmonized technical
requirements instead ofthe corresponding national requirements
provided that the manufacturer or his authorized representativeinforms the competent authorities of those States that they do socomply;
— on application by a manufacturer or his authorized representative
and on submission of the information document referred to in Arti-cle 3, the Member State concerned shall complete the sections ofthe type-approval certificate referred to in Article 2 (b). A copy ofthis certificate shall be issued to the applicant. Other MemberStates shall accept this document as proofthat the requisite checks
have been carried out on the same type oftractor.
2. The provisions ofparagraph 1 ofthis Article shall be repealed
once all the requirements necessary for the granting of EEC type-
approval are applicable.
CHAPTER IV
