COUNCIL DIRECTIVE No 92/53/EEC
of 18 June 1992
amending Directive 70/156/EEC on the approximation of the laws of
the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles
and their trailers
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European EconomicCommunity, and in particular Article 100a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(
1),
Incooperationwith the EuropeanParliamen t(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),
Whereas it is important to adopt measures with the aim of progressively
establishing the internal market over a period expiring on 31 December
1992; whereas the internal market shall comprise an area without
internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, servicesand capital is ensured;
Whereas Directive 70/156/EEC(
4) laid downthe Commun ity type-
approval procedure for vehicles, components and separate technical
units built in compliance with the technical requirements set out in
separate Directives and also the complete list of vehicle systems,components and separate technical units covered by these Directives;
Whereas in the interest of the establishment and operation of the internal
market of the Community it appears appropriate to replace the existing
type-approval systems of the Member States by the Community type-approval procedure;
Whereas, inorder that the said type-approval procedure may achieve its
objective in the most effective manner it appears necessary to make its
administrative provisions more precise and comprehensive; whereas this
implies,inter alia , that these provisions allow for the type-approval of a
whole vehicle to be established by compilationof approvals of itsconstituent systems, components and separate technical units, if themanufacturer so desires, and in the case of vehicles built in several
stages involving several manufacturers, by compilation of the approvals
of the different stages of completion;
Whereas a vehicle may comply with the provisions of this Directive but
nevertheless have certain features which demonstrably present apotential risk for road safety; whereas it is therefore desirable to allow
the Member States to refuse to approve such vehicle types as well as to
prohibit the sale and entry into service and refuse registration of the saidvehicles; whereas for the latter case appropriate conditions areestablished;
Whereas the mandatory nature of the Community type-approval
procedure makes it necessary to allow for exemptions and lay down
alternative procedures for vehicles either designed for special purposesor built in small series or incorporating new technologies not yetcovered by the provisions of the separate Directives;
Whereas inorder to facilitate the access to the markets of coun tries
outside the Community it appears appropriate to allow, under certainconditions, for the acceptance of system, component and separatetechnical unit approvals based on equivalent international and third-country regulations; whereas equivalence of such regulations is to beestablished in application of the relevant provisions of the Treaty;1992L0053 — EN — 02.07.1992 — 000.001 — 2
(1) OJ No C 301, 21. 11. 1991, p. 1.
(2) OJ No C 67, 16. 3. 1992, p. 44 and OJ No 176, 13. 7. 1992.
(3) OJ No C 79, 30. 3. 1992, p. 4.
(4) OJNoL 42, 23. 2.1970,p. 1.Last amended byDirective 87/403/EEC (OJNo
L 220, 8. 8. 1987, p. 44).
▼B
Whereas in order to ensure the necessary transparancy of the
Community type-approval procedures it is necessary to lay downprovisions according to which the Member States shall notify each other
and the Commission of their approval authorities and technical services
as well as provisions on the quality criteria with which the latter have tocomply;
Whereas since the Annexes to the present Directive are complete only
for vehicles of category M
1, the Directive applies only to the type-
approval of such vehicles; whereas it appears advisable that pending thecompletion of the Annexes by provisions relating to vehicles of all othercategories, Member States should be allowed to continue to operate their
national approval systems in relation to such vehicles in accordance with
Article 10 of Directive 70/156/EEC;
Whereas, in order to allow for an adequate transition, both from the
technical and administrative points of view, from the present optionalregime of Community requirements to the mandatory type-approvalprocedure established by the present Directive, it appears appropriate toleave the manufacturers the option between the application of theprocedure of the present Directive and that provided for in Article 10 of
Directive 70/156/EEC for a period of three years; whereas approvals
granted in application of the latter procedure should remain valid until31 December 1997;
Whereas the aforementioned transitional provisions are not intended to
allow the Member States to derogate from the provisions of separateDirectives which are based on total harmonization,

If the request is accepted by the Member State, the latter must,
within a month, send the competent authorities of the otherMember States particulars of and reasons for the exemptionsgranted to the manufacturer together with the information
provided for inArticle 5 (5).
Each Member State concerned by the entry into service of
such types of vehicle shall be responsible for ensuring that themanufacturer complies with the provisions of Annex XII B.
Member States shall each year send the Commission a list of
exemptions granted and the reasons therefor.
(c)Vehicles, components or separate technical units incorporating
technologies or concepts which cannot, due to their specificnature, comply with one or more of the requirements of one ormore of the separate Directives
In this case, the Member State granting such an approval shall,
within one month, send a copy of the approval certificate and itsattachments to the approval authorities of the other MemberStates and shall forthwith send to the Commission a reportcontaining:

The Commissionshall, inaccordan ce with the procedure laid
down in Article 13, decide within three months whether or not toapprove the report.
If the Commissionapproves the report, the Member State may
issue a type-approval in accordance with this Directive and theCommissionwill take the n ecessary steps to adapt the separateDirective(s) to which the derogationwas gran ted. The validity of
such type-approval is restricted to 24 months, but may be
extended by the Commission upon request of the Member Statewhich has granted the type-approval.
3. Approval certificates issued inaccordan ce with paragraph 2, the
models for which are shown in Annex VI, may not carry the heading“EEC Vehicle Type-Approval Certificate”, except inthe casementioned in 2 (c) where the Commission has approved the report.
Article 9
Acceptance of equivalent approvals
1. The Council may, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal
from the Commission, acknowledge the equivalence between the
conditions or provisions for type-approval of systems, components
and separate technical units established by the present Directive andthe procedures established by international regulations or regulationsof third countries, in the framework of multilateral or bilateralagreements between the Community and third countries.
2. The equivalence of the international regulations listed in Part II
of Annex IV with the corresponding separate Directives shall be
recognized. The approval authorities of the Member States shallaccept approvals according to those regulations and, where applic-able, the pertaining approval marks, in lieu of the correspondingapprovals and/or approvals marks according to the equivalentseparate Directives. The listed international regulations shall be
published inthe Official Journal of the European Communities .
Article 10
Conformity of production arrangements1. A Member State granting type-approval shall take the necessary
measures in accordance with Annex X in relation to that approval to
verify, if need be in cooperation with the approval authorities of theother Member States, that adequate arrangements have been made toensure that production vehicles, systems, components or separatetechnical units, as the case may be, conform to the approved type.
2. A Member State which has granted a type approval shall take
the necessary measures in accordance with Annex X in relation to
that approval to verify, if need be in cooperation with the approval
authorities of the other Member States, that the arrangements referredto in paragraph 1 continue to be adequate and that productionvehicles, systems, components or separate technical units, as the casemay be, continue to conform to the approved type. Verification to
ensure that products conform to the approved type shall be limited to
the procedures set out in section 2 of Annex X and in those separateDirectives that contain specific requirements.
Article 11
Nonconformity with the approved type
1. There shall be failure to conform to the approved type where
deviations from the particulars in the type-approval certificate and/orthe information package are found to exist und where thesedeviations have not been authorized under Article 5 (3) or (4), bythe Member State which granted the type-approval. A vehicle shall1992L0053 — EN — 02.07.1992 — 000.001 — 10
▼B
not be considered to deviate from the approved type where tolerances
are permitted by separate Directives and these tolerances arerespected.
2. If a Member State which has granted type-approval finds that
vehicles, components or separate technical units accompanied by a
certificate of conformity or bearing an approval mark do not conform
to the type it has approved, it shall take the necessary measures toensure that production vehicles, components or separate technicalunits, as the case may be, again conform to the approved type. Theapproval authorities of that Member State shall advise those of theother Member States of the measures takenwhich may, where
necessary, extend to withdrawal of type-approval.
3. If a Member State demonstrates that vehicles, components or
separate technical units accompanied by a certificate of conformity or
bearing an approval mark do not conform to the approved type it may
request the Member State which granted the type-approval to verifythat vehicles, components or separate technical units, as the case maybe, inproductioncon form to the approved type. Such actionshall betaken as soon as possible and in any case within six months of the
date of the request.
4. Inthe case of:
— vehicle type-approval where the nonconformity of a vehicle arises
exclusively from the nonconformity of a system, component or
separate technical unit, or
— multi-stage type-approval where the nonconformity of a
completed vehicle arises exclusively from the nonconformity ofa system, component or separate technical unit being part of the
incomplete vehicle, or of the incomplete vehicle itself,
the vehicle-approval authority shall request the Member State(s)
which granted any relevant system, component, separate technical
unit or incomplete vehicle type-approval(s) to take the necessary
action to ensure that vehicles in production again conform to theapproved type. Such actionshall be takenas soonas possible an d inany case within six months of the date of the request, if necessary inconjunction with the Member State making the request. Where a
failure to conform is established, the approval authorities of the
Member State which granted the system, component or separatetechnical unit type-approval or the approval of the incomplete vehicleshall take the measures set out inparagraph 2.
5. The approval authorities ofthe Member States shall inform each
other within one month of any withdrawal of type-approval and of thereasons for such a measure.
6. If the Member State which granted type-approval disputes the
failure to conform notified to it the Member States concerned shallendeavour to settle the dispute. The Commission shall be keptinformed and shall, where necessary, hold appropriate consultationsfor the purpose of reaching a settlement.
Article 12
Notification of decisions and remedies availableAll decisions taken pursuant to the provisions adopted in implemen-
tation of this Directive and refusing or withdrawing type-approval, or
refusing registration or prohibiting sale, shall state in detail the
reasons on which they are based. Any decisions shall be notified tothe party concerned who shall, at the same time, be informed of theremedies available to him un der the laws inforce inthe MemberStates and of the time limits allowed for the exercise of suchremedies.

ANNEX II
DEFINITION OF VEHICLE CATEGORIES AND VEHICLE TYPES
A. Vehicle categories are defined according to the following international
classification:
1. Category M: Motor vehicles with at least four wheels used for the
carriage of passengers.
Category M1: Vehicles used for the carriage of passengers and
comprising no more than eight seats in addition to the
driver's seat.
Category M2: Vehicles used for the carriage of passengers,
comprising more than eight seats in addition to the
driver's seat, and having a maximum mass not
exceeding 5 tonnes.
Category M3: Vehicles used for the carriage of passengers,
comprising more than eight seats in addition to the
driver's seat, and having a maximum mass exceeding
5 tonnes.
2. Category N: Motor vehicles with at least four wheels used for the
carriage of goods.
Category N1: Vehicles used for the carriage of goods and having a
maximum mass not exceeding 3,5 tonnes.
Category N2: Vehicles used for the carriage of goods and having a
maximum mass exceeding 3,5 tonnes but not
exceeding 12 tonnes.
Category N3: Vehicles used for the carriage of goods and having a
maximum mass exceeding 12 tonnes.
In the case of a towing vehicle designed to be coupled to a semi-trailer
or centre-axle trailer, the mass to be considered for classifying thevehicle is the mass of the tractor vehicle in running order, increased by
the mass corresponding to the maximum static vertical load transferred
to the tractor vehicle by the semi-trailer or centre-axle trailer and,
where applicable, by the maximum mass of the tractor vehicles's own
load.
3. Category O: Trailers (including semi-trailers).
Category O
1: Trailers with a maximum mass not exceeding 0,75
tonnes.
Category O2: Trailers with a maximum mass exceeding 0,75 tonnes
but not exceeding 3,5 tonnes.
Category O3: Trailers with a maximum mass exceeding 3,5 tonnes
but not exceeding 10 tonnes.
Category O4: Trailers with a maximum mass exceeding 10 tonnes.
Inthe case of a semi-trailer or cen tre-axle trailer, the maximum mass to
be considered for classifying the trailer corresponds to the static
vertical load transmitted to the ground by the axle or axles of the semi-
trailer or centre-axle trailer when coupled to the towing vehicle and
carrying its maximum load.
4. Vehicles in categories M and N, above, considered to be off-road
vehicles under the load and checking conditions set out in item 4.4 andpursuant to the definitions and sketches of item 4.5.
4.1. Vehicles incategory N
1with a maximum mass not exceeding two
tonnes and motor vehicles in category M1are considered to be off-road
vehicles if they have:
— at least one front axle and at least one rear axle designed to be
driven simultaneously including vehicles where the drive to one
axle canbe disen gaged,1992L0053 — EN — 02.07.1992 — 000.001 — 38
▼B
— at least one differential locking mechanism or at least one
mechanism having a similar effect and if they can climb a 30%
gradient calculated for a solo vehicle.
In addition, they must satisfy at least five of the following six
requirements:
— the approach angle must be at least 25 degrees,
— the departure angle must be at least 20 degrees,
— the ramp angle must be at least 20 degrees,
— the ground clearance under the front axle must be at least 180 mm,— the ground clearance under the rear axle must be at least 180 mm,— the ground clearance between the axles must be at least 200 mm.
4.2. Vehicles incategory N
1with a maximum mass exceeding two tonnes
or incategory N2,M2or M3with a maximum mass not exceeding 12
tonnes are considered to be off-road vehicles either if all their wheels
are designed to be driven simultaneously, including vehicles where the
drive to one axle can be disengaged, or if the following three
requirements are satisfied:
— at least one front axle and at least one rear axle are designed to be
driven simultaneously, including vehicles where the drive to one
axle canbe disen gaged,
— there is at least one differential locking mechanism or at least one
mechanism having a similar effect,
— they canclimb a 25% gradien t calculated for a solo vehicle.
4.3. Vehicles incategory M3with a maximum mass exceeding 12 tonnes or
incategory N3are to be considered to be off-road vehicles either if the
wheels are designed to be driven simultaneously, including vehicles
where the drive to one axle can be disengaged, or if the following
requirements are satisfied:
— at least half the wheels are driven,
— there is at least one differential locking mechanism or at least one
mechanism having a similar effect,
— they canclimb a 25% gradien t calculated for a solo vehicle,
— at least four of the following six requirements are satisfied:
— the approach angle must be at least 25 degrees,
— the departure angle must be at least 25 degrees,— the ramp angle must be at least 25 degrees,— the ground clearance under the front axle must be at least
250 mm,
— thegroundclearance betweentheaxlesmustbeatleast300mm,
— the ground clearance under the rear axle must be least 250 mm.
4.4. Load and checking conditions.4.4.1. Vehicles incategory N
1with a maximum mass not exceeding two
tonnes and vehicles in category M1must be in running order, namely
with coolant fluid, lubricants, fuel, tools, spare-wheel and a driver
considered to weigh a standard 75 kilograms.
4.4.2. Motor vehicles other thanthose referred to in4.4.1 must be loaded to
the technically permissible maximum mass stated by the manufacturer.
4.4.3. The ability to climb the required gradients (25% and 30%) is verified
by simple calculation. In exceptional cases, however, the technical
services may ask for a vehicle of the type concerned to be submitted to
it for anactual test.
4.4.4. When measuring approach and departure angles and ramp angles, no
account is taken of underrun protective devices.
4.5. Definitions and sketches of approach and departure angles, ramp angle
and ground clearance.
4.5.1. ‘Approach angle’ means the maximum angle between the ground plane
and planes tangential to the tyres of the front wheels, under a static
load, such that no point of the vehicle ahead of the front axle is situated
below these planes and no rigid part of the vehicle, with the exception
of any steps, is situated below these planes.1992L0053 — EN — 02.07.1992 — 000.001 — 39
▼B
4.5.2. ‘Departure angle’ means the maximum angle between the ground plane
and planes tangential to the tyres of the rear wheels, under a static load,
such that no point of the vehicle behind the rearmost axle is situated
below these planes and no rigid part of the vehicle is situated below
these planes.
4.5.3. ‘Ramp angle’ means the minimum acute angle between two planes,
perpendicular to the median longitudinal plane of the vehicle,
tangential to the tyres of the front wheels and to the tyres of the rearwheels respectively, under a static load, the intersection of which
touches the rigid underside of the vehicle apart from the wheels. This
angle defines the steepest ramp over which the vehicle can pass.
4.5.4. ‘Ground clearance between the axles’ means the shortest distance
between the ground plane and the lowest fixed point of the vehicle.
Multi-axled bogies are considered to be a single axle.
4.5.5. ‘Ground clearance beneath one axle’ means the distance beneath the
highest point of the arc of a circle passing through the centre of the tyre
footprint of the wheels on one axle (the inner wheels in the case of twin
tyres) and touching the lowest fixed point of the vehicle between the
wheels.
No rigid part of the vehicle may project into the shaded area of the
diagram. Where appropriate, the ground clearance of several axles is
indicated in accordance with their arrangement, for example 280/250/
250.1992L0053 — EN — 02.07.1992 — 000.001 — 40

CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION PROCEDURES
1. INITIAL ASSESSMENT
1.1. The approval authority of a Member State must verify, before granting
type-approval, the existence of satisfactory arrangements and procedures
for ensuring effective control so that components, systems, separate
technical units or vehicles when in production conform to the approved
type.
1.2. The requirement in point 1.1 must be verified to the satisfaction of the
authority granting type-approval but may also be verified, on behalf of
the authority granting type-approval, by the approval authority of another
Member State. Inthat case, the latter approval authority prepares a
statement of compliance outlining the areas and production facilities it
has covered as relevant to the product(s) to be type approved.
1.3. The approval authority must also accept the manufacturer's registration to
harmonized standard EN 29002 (whose scope covers the product(s) to be
approved) or an equivalent accreditation standard as satisfying the
requirements of point 1.1. The manufacturer must provide details of the
registration and undertake to inform the approval authority of any
revisions to its validity or scope.
1.4. On receiving an application from the authority of another Member State,
the approval authority sends forthwith the statement of compliance
mentioned in the last sentence of point 1.2 or advises that it is not in a
positionto provide such a statemen t.
2. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION
2.1. Every vehicle, system, component or separate technical unit(s) approved
pursuant to this Directive or a separate Directive must be so
manufactured as to conform to the type approved by meeting the
requirements of this Directive or a separate Directive contained in the
complete list set out in Annex IV or Annex XI.
2.2. The approval authority of a Member State, granting a type-approval must
verify the existence of adequate arrangements and documented control
plans, to be agreed with the manufacturer for each approval, to carry out
at specified intervals those tests or associated checks necessary to verify
continued conformity with the approved type including specifically,
where applicable, tests specified inthe separate Directives.
2.3. The holder of the approval must, inparticular:2.3.1. ensure the existence of procedures for effective control of the conformity
of products (vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units) to
the type-approval;
2.3.2. have access to the testing equipment necessary for checking the
conformity to each approved type;
2.3.3. ensure that test results data are recorded and that annexed documents
remain available for a period to be determined in agreement with the
approval authority. This period must not exceed 10 years;
2.3.4. analyse the results of each type of test, in order to verify and ensure the
stability of the product characteristics, making allowance for variation of
an industrial production;
2.3.5. ensure that for each type of product, at least the checks prescribed in this
Directive and the tests prescribed in the applicable separate Directives
contained in the complete list set out in Annex IV or Annex XI, are
carried out;
2.3.6. ensure that any set of samples or test pieces, giving evidence of
nonconformity in the type of test in question gives rise to a further
sampling and test. All the necessary steps shall be taken to restore
conformity of the corresponding production;
2.3.7. inthe case of vehicle approval, the checks referred to inpoin t 2.3.5 are
restricted to those verifying the correct build specification in relation to
the approval certification.
2.4. The authority which has granted type-approval may at any time verify the
conformity control methods applied in each production facility. The
normal frequency of these verifications must be consistent with the1992L0053 — EN — 02.07.1992 — 000.001 — 61
▼B
arrangements (if any) accepted under point 1.2 or 1.3 of this Annex and
be such as to ensure that the relevant controls are reviewed over a period
consistent with the climate of trust established by the approval authority.
2.4.1. At every inspection, the test records and production records shall be made
available to the visiting inspector.
2.4.2. Where the nature of the test is appropriate, the inspector may select
samples at random to be tested in the manufacturer's laboratory (or by the
technical service where the separate Directive so provides). The
minimum number of samples may be determined according to the results
of the manufacturer's own verification.
2.4.3. Where the level of control appears unsatisfactory, or when it seems
necessary to verify the validity of the tests carried out in application of
point 2.4.2, the inspector must select samples to be sent to the technical
service which conducted the type-approval tests.
2.4.4. The approval authority may carry out any check or test prescribed in this
Directive or in the applicable separate Directives contained in the
complete list set out in Annex IV or Annex XI.
2.4.5. In cases where unsatisfactory results are found during an inspection, the
approval authority must ensure that all necessary steps are taken to
restore conformity of production as rapidly as possible.1992L0053 — EN — 02.07.1992 — 000.001 — 62

PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED DURING MULTI-STAGE TYPE-
APPROVAL
(see Article 4)
1. GENERAL
1.1. The satisfactory operationof the process of multi-stage type-approval
requires joint action by all the manufacturers concerned. To this end
approval authorities must ensure, before granting second or subsequent
stage approval, that suitable arrangements exist between the relevant
manufacturers for the supply and interchange of documents and informa-
tion such that the completed vehicle type meets the technical requirements
of all the relevant separate Directives as prescribed in Annex IV or Annex
XI. Such information must include details of relevant system, component
and separate technical unit approvals and of vehicle parts which form part
of the incomplete vehicle but are not yet approved.
1.2. Type-approvals in accordance with this Annex are granted on the basis of
the current state of completion of the vehicle type and must incorporate all
approvals granted at earlier stages.
1.3. Each manufacturer in a multi-stage approval process is responsible for the
approval and conformity of production of all systems, components or
separate technical units manufactured by him or added by him to the
previously built stage. He is not responsible for subjects which have been
approved inanearlier stage except inthose cases where he modifies
relevant parts to an extent that the previously granted approval becomes
invalid.
2. PROCEDURES
Inthe case of anapplicationmade inaccordan ce with Article 3 (3), the
approval authority must:
(a) verify that all relevant separate Directive approvals are applicable to
the appropriate standard in the separate Directive;
(b) ensure that all the relevant data, taking account of the state of
completion of the vehicle, is included in the information folder;
(c) by reference to the documentation make sure that the vehicle
specification(s) and data contained in Part I of the vehicle information
folder are included in the data in the information packages and/or the
approval certificates of the relevant separate Directive approvals; and
inthe case of a completed vehicle, where anitem n umber inPart I of
the information folder is not included in the information package of any
of the separate Directives, confirm that the relevant part of
characteristic conforms to the particulars in the information folder;
(d) ona selected sample of vehicles from the type to be approved carry out
or arrange to be carried out inspections of vehicle parts and systems to
verify that the vehicle(s) is/are built in accordance with the relevant
data contained in the authenticated information package in respect of
all relevant separate Directive approvals;
(e) carry out or arrange to be carried out relevant installation checks in
respect of separate technical units where applicable.
