COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 4 March 1974
on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to
the type-approval of wheeled agricultural to forestry tractors
(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 trade within
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 these vehicles is
concerned; whereas, on the other hand, other tractors and, in particular,
those with a maximum design speed in excess of 25 km/h will 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 before they are
placed on the market; whereas this check is carried out on tractor types;
Whereas the harmonized technical requirements applicable to individual
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 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 of
conformity for all tractors which conform to an approved type; whereas a
tractor accompanied by such a certificate must be considered by all
Member States as conforming to their own laws; whereas each Member
State 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 of
parts and characteristics still not covered by such Directives;!B

(2) OJ No C 48, 16. 4. 1969, p. 17.1974L0150 — EN — 01.01.1981 — 002.001 — 2
Whereas, without prejudice to Articles 169 and 170 of the Treaty, it is
advisable within the framework of cooperation between the competent
authorities 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 appropriate
procedure to preclude such hazards;
Whereas technical progress requires prompt adaption of the 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 cooperation
between 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 Forestry Tractor
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 3, having at least two axles, the
main function of which lies in its tractive power and which is specially
designed to tow, push, carry or power certain tools, machinery or trailers
intended for agricultural or forestry use. It may be equipped to 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 axles
and a maximum design speed between 6 and 25 km/h.
Article 2
For the purposes of this Directive:
(a) ‘national type-approval’ means the administrative procedure known
as:

CHAPTER II
EEC tractor type-approval
Article 3
Application for EEC type-approval shall be submitted by the manu-
facturer or his authorized representative to a Member State. An
application shall be accompanied by an information document, the
model of which is given in Annex I, and by the documents referred to
therein. No application in respect of any one type of tractor 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 need be in
cooperation with the competent authorities of the other Member States,
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 each tractor type which it 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 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 of
registration shall complete a certificate of conformity, the model of
which is given in Annex III, for each tractor manufactured in conformity
with the approved prototype.
3. Member States may, however, for purposes of tractor taxation or
completion of its registration documents, ask for particulars not
mentioned in Annex III to be given on the certificate of conformity,
provided that such particulars are explicitly stated on the information
document or can be derived therefrom by a straight-forward calculation.
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 cessation 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 authorities of that State
shall inform the manufacturer thereof and shall send to the competent
authorities of the other Member States, in periodic consignments, copies
of amendments to information documents which have already been
distributed.!B1974L0150 — EN — 01.01.1981 — 002.001 — 4
3. If the State in question finds that an amendment to an information
document warrants fresh checks or fresh tests and that it is accordingly
necessary 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 of
such new documents being completed, send them to the competent
authorities 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 authorities
of the Member State which granted that type-approval shall, within one
month, communicate to the competent authorities of the other Member
States the serial numbers of the last tractor produced in conformity with
the old certificate and, where applicable, the serial numbers 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 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 conform 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 authorized under 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 Directives and 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 to a
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 State shall 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 are informed by the competent
authorities of another Member State of such failure 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
accompanied by a properly issued certificate of conformity, then that
State may, for a maximum period of six months, refuse to register new
tractors of that 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.!B1974L0150 — EN — 01.01.1981 — 002.001 — 5
2. The Commission shall within six weeks consult the Member States
concerned. It shall deliver an opinion without delay and take appropriate
steps. Where the Commission considers that an amendment as envisaged
in Article 11 is necessary, the period of time laid down in paragraph 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 or parts of
tractors which form a separate technical unit.
2. Where the separate technical unit to be approved fulfils its function
or offers a specific feature only in conjunction with other components of
the tractor and for this reason compliance with one or more requirements
can be verified only when the separate technical unit to be approved
operates in conjunction with other tractor components, whether real or
simulated, the scope of the EEC type-approval of the 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 of these
restrictions and conditions shall be verified at the 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 to
complete the certificate provided for in Article 5 (2), but also to affix to
each unit manufactured in conformity with the approved type the trade
name or mark, the type and, if the separate Directive so provides, the
type-approval number.
CHAPTER III
Transitional provisions
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 of tractor are subject
to national type-approval, such national type-approval shall 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 such tractors may not be refused or prohibited on
the grounds that they comply with the harmonized technical
requirements instead of the corresponding national requirements
provided that the manufacturer or his authorized representative
informs 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 copy of this
certificate shall be issued to the applicant. Other Member States
shall accept this document as proof that the requisite checks have
been carried out on the same type of tractor.!B
!M1
!B1974L0150 — EN — 01.01.1981 — 002.001 — 6
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.
