(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 of the European Parliament(
1);
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee(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 tradewithin the European Economic Community;
Whereas such hindrances to the establishment and proper functioning
of the common market can be reduced, and even eliminated, if all
Member States adopt the same requirements, either in addition to or
in place of their existing laws;
Whereas the requirements of this Directive apply to tractors fitted with
pneumatic types and having a maximum design speed between 6 and
25 km/h; whereas these requirements are intended principally to
improve safety on the road and at work in so far as the design of thesevehicles is concerned; whereas, on the other hand, other tractors and, inparticular, those with a maximum design speed in excess of 25 km/hwill if necessary, be subject to special requirements;
Whereas it is the established practice of the 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 specialDirectives;
Whereas at Community level it is necessary to introduce a Community
type-approval procedure for eachtractor type in order th at compliance
with the above requirements can be checked and that each Member
State 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; whereas that
procedure must enable manufacturers to complete a certificate ofconformity for all tractors which conform to an approved type; whereasa tractor accompanied by sucha certificate must be considered by allMember States as conforming to their own laws; whereas each MemberState should inform the other Member States of its findings by sending
a copy of the type-approval certificate completed for each tractor type
which has been approved;
Whereas, as a transitional measure, it must be possible to grant type-
approval on the basis of Community 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;1974L0150 — EN — 15.02.2000 — 008.001 — 2

(2) OJ No C 48, 16. 4. 1969, p. 17.

Whereas, without prejudice to Articles 169 and 170 of the Treaty, it is
advisable within the framework of cooperation between the competentauthorities of the Member States, to lay down provisions to help
resolve disputes of a technical nature regarding the conformity of
production 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 appropriateprocedure to preclude suchh azards;
Whereas technical progress requires prompt adaption of the technical
requirements specified in the special Directives; whereas, in order tofacilitate implementation of the measures required for this purpose, aprocedure should be prescribed for establishing close cooperationbetween the Member States and the Commission within the Committee
on the Adaptation to Technical Progress of the Directives on the
Removal of Technical Barriers to Trade in the Agricultural or ForestryTractor Sector,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
CHAPTER I

CHAPTER II
EECtractor type-approval
Article 3
Application for EEC type-approval shall be submitted by the manufac-
turer or his authorized representative to a Member State. An
application shall be accompanied by an information document, themodel of which is given in Annex I, and by the documents referred totherein. No application in respect of any one type of tractor may besubmitted 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 need be
in cooperation with the competent authorities of the 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 of a type-approval
certificate for eachtractor type wh ichit approves.
Article 5
1. The competent authorities of each Member State shall send within
one month to the competent authorities of the other Member States acopy of the information document and approval certificate for eachtractor type which they approve or refuse to approve.
2. The manufacturer or his authorized representative in the country
of registration shall complete a certificate of conformity, the model ofwhich is given in Annex III, for each tractor manufactured in confor-
mity withth e approved prototype.
3. Member States may, however, for purposes of tractor taxation or
completion of its registration documents, ask for particulars notmentioned in Annex III to be given on the certificate of conformity,provided 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 of production and of any change in particulars appearing in the
information document.
2. If the State in question considers that such a change does not
require an amendment to the existing type-approval certificate, or
completion of a new type-approval certificate, the competent authori-ties of that State shall inform the manufacturer thereof and shall sendto the competent authorities of the other Member States, in periodicconsignments, copies of amendments to information documents whichhave already been distributed.1974L0150 — EN — 15.02.2000 — 008.001 — 4
▼B
3. If the State in question finds that an amendment to an information
document warrants fresh checks or fresh tests and that it is accordinglynecessary to amend the existing type-approval certificate or complete a
new type-approval certificate, the competent authorities of that State
shall inform the manufacturer thereof and shall, within one month ofsuch new documents being completed, send them to the competentauthorities of the other Member States.
4. Where a type-approval certificate is amended or replaced or
production of the approved tractor type ceases, the competent authori-
ties of the Member State which granted that type-approval shall, withinone month, communicate to the competent authorities of the otherMember States the serial numbers of the last tractor produced inconformity with the old certificate and, where applicable, the serialnumbers of the first tractor produced in conformity with the new or
amended certificate.
Article 7
1. No Member State may refuse the registration or may prohibit the
sale, entry into service or use of any new tractor on grounds relating toits construction or operation where that tractor is accompanied by acertificate of conformity.
2. Nevertheless, this certificate shall not prevent a Member State
from taking suchmeasures in respect of tractors wh ichdo not conform
to the approved prototype.
Failure to conform to the approved prototype shall be established
where deviations from the particulars in the information document arefound to exist and where these deviations have not been authorizedunder Article 6 (2) or (3) by the Member State which granted the
type-approval. A tractor shall not be considered to deviate from the
approved type where tolerances are permitted by special Directivesand these tolerances are respected.
Article 8
1. If the Member State which has granted EEC type-approval finds
that a number of tractors accompanied by a certificate of conformity toa particular type do not conform to the type which it has approved, it
shall take the necessary measures to ensure that production models
conform to the approved type. The competent authorities of that Stateshall advise those of the other Member States of the measures taken,which may, where necessary, extend to withdrawal of EEC type-approval. The said authorities shall take like measures if they areinformed by the competent authorities of another Member State of
suchfailure to conform.
2. The competent authorities of the Member States shall inform one
another, within one month, of any withdrawal of EEC type-approval,and of the reasons for such a measure.
3. If the Member State which has granted EEC 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 shall, where necessary,
hold appropriate consultations for the purpose of reaching a settlement.
Article 9
1. If a Member State finds that tractors of a particular type may be a
hazard to safety on the road or at work, even though they are accom-panied by a properly issued certificate of conformity, then that State
may, for a maximum period of six months, refuse to register new trac-
tors of that type or prohibit their sale, entry into service or use in itsterritory. It shall forthwith inform the other Member States and theCommission 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 take1974L0150 — EN — 15.02.2000 — 008.001 — 5
▼B
appropriate steps. Where the Commission considers that an amendment
as envisaged in Article 11 is necessary, the period of time laid down inparagraph 1 of this Article shall be extended until the procedure 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 orparts of tractors which form 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 withoth er
components of the tractor and for this reason compliance with one or
more requirements can be verified only when the separate technicalunit to be approved operates in conjunction withoth er tractor compo-nents, whether real or simulated, the scope of the EEC type-approval ofthe separate technical unit must be restricted accordingly. The EECtype-approval certificate for a separate technical unit shall then include
any restrictions on its use and shall indicate any conditions for fitting
it. Observance of these restrictions and conditions shall be verified atthe time of EEC type-approval of the tractor.
3. Articles 3 to 9 and 14 shall apply by analogy.However, the holder of the EEC type-approval for a separate technical
unit granted in accordance with this Article shall be obliged not only tocomplete the certificate provided for in Article 5 (2), but also to affixto each unit manufactured in conformity with the approved type thetrade name or mark, the type and, if the separate Directive so provides,
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 becomeapplicable:
— in Member States where tractors or a category of tractor are subject
to national type-approval, suchnational type-approval sh all be
based on the harmonized technical requirements instead of on the
corresponding national requirements if the applicant so requests;
— in Member States where tractors or a category of tractor are not
subject to national type-approval, the sale, registration, entry into
service or use of suchtractors may not be refused or proh ibited onthe grounds that they comply with the harmonized technicalrequirements instead of the corresponding national requirementsprovided that the manufacturer or his authorized representativeinforms the competent authorities of those States that they do so
comply;
— on application by a manufacturer or his authorized representative
and on submission of the information document referred to in
Article 3, the Member State concerned shall complete the sections
of the type-approval certificate referred to in Article 2 (b). A copyof this certificate shall be issued to the applicant. Other MemberStates shall accept this document as proof that the requisite checkshave been carried out on the same type of tractor.
2. The provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article shall be repealed
once all the requirements necessary for the granting of EEC type-approval are applicable.1974L0150 — EN — 15.02.2000 — 008.001 — 6
