THE  COMMISSION  OF  THE  EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES,

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  establishing  the  European
Community,

Having  regard  to  Council  Directive  70/156/EEC  of
6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the
Member  States  relating  to  the  type-approval  of  motor
vehicles  and  their  trailers (1),  as 
last  amended  by
European Parliament and Council Directive 97/27/EC (2),
and  in  particular  Article  13(2)  thereof,

to  propose  on  the  basis  of  a  report  to  be  drawn  up  by
31 December 1994, amendments required to improve the
type-approval  arrangements  and  to  facilitate  the  entry
into  service  of  the  vehicles  in  the  Member  States;

Whereas  according  to  Article  9  of  Directive  70/156/EEC,
the  equivalence  of  the  international  Regulations  of  the
Economic  Commission  for  Europe  of  the  United  Nations
(UN/ECE)  listed  in  Part  II  of  Annex  IV  to  that  Directive
with  the  corresponding  separate  Directives  should  be

in  accordance  with  this  Directive.

Only  the  request  to  grant  an  approval  and
the  draft  decision  will  be  transmitted  to  the
Member  States  in  their  national  language(s),

regulations  and  administrative  provisions  necessary  to
comply  with  this  Directive  by  30  September  1998  at  the
latest.  They  shall  forthwith  inform  the  Commission
thereof.

When  Member  States  adopt  these  provisions,  these  shall
contain  a  reference  to  this  Directive  or  shall  be
accompanied  by  such  reference  at  the  time  of  their
official  publication.  The  procedure  for  such  reference
shall  be  adopted  by  Member  States.

the  texts  of  the  main  provisions  of  the  national  law
which  they  adopt  in  the  field  covered  by  this  Directive.

in  paragraph  1  for  new  vehicle  types  from  1  October
1998.  However,  at  the  request  of  the  manufacturer,  the
previous  model  of  the  certificate  of  conformity  may  still
be  used  for  12  months  after  that  date  for  complete
vehicles  and  18  months  for  completed  vehicles  following
multi-stage approval

4. This  Directive  shall  not  invalidate  any  approval
granted  before  its  entry  into  force,  nor  prevent  extension
of such approvals under the terms of the Directive under
which they were originally granted. However, as from 12
months  after  the  date  specified  in  paragraph  3  for
complete  vehicles  and  18  months  for  completed  vehicles
following  multi-stage  approval,  all  certificates  of
conformity issued by the manufacturer shall comply with
the model specified in Annex IX to Directive 70/156/EEC
as  amended  by  this  Directive.

5. As far as vehicle type-approval is concerned, Member
States  shall  apply  this  Directive  only  to  vehicles  of
category  M1  equipped  with  an  internal  combustion
engine pending an amendment of the Annexes in order to
include vehicles of category M1  powered by engines other
than  internal  combustion  engines  and  other  vehicle
categories.  In  the  meantime,  the  provisions  of  Article  10

request  of  the  manufacturer  for  special  purpose  vehicles
mentioned  in  Annex  XI  until  the  date(s)  specified  in  an
amendment  to  this  Directive,  in  order  to  include  vehicles
of  categories  other  than  M1.

In  the  meantime  Member  States  shall  grant  national
type-approval  to,  and  permit  registration,  sale  and  entry
into service of such vehicles, or components and separate
technical  units  for  such  vehicles  in  accordance  with  the
provisions  of  Article  10  of  Directive  70/156/EEC.

7. Until  31  December  1997  for  complete  vehicles,  until
31  December  1999  for  completed  vehicles  following
multi-stage  approval  and  until  the  dates  referred  to  in

complete  vehicles  or  1  January  1998  for  completed
vehicles  following  multi-stage  approval  or  the  dates

procedure  referred  to  in  paragraphs  6  and  7  which  have
been  granted  pursuant  to  the  separate  Directives  shall
remain in force after the dates laid down in paragraphs 6
and  7  unless  one  of  the  conditions  laid  down  in  the
fourth  subparagraph  of  Article  5(3)  of  Directive
70/156/EEC,  as  amended  by  this  Directive,  applies.

9. Pending 
the  harmonization  of  registration  and
taxation  systems  of  the  Member  States  in  relation  to
vehicles  covered  by  this  Directive,  Member  States  may
use  national  code  systems

registration  and  taxation  in  their  territory.  For  this
purpose,  Member  States  may  subdivide  the  versions
shown  in  Part  II  of  Annex  III,  provided  that  the

simple  calculation.  Member  States  may  also  request  that
the  certificate  of  conformity  be  supplemented  by  the
national  code  number(s).

10. Pending  an  amendment  to  Directive  70/156/EEC  in
order to include also vehicles of categories other than M1,
for  special  purpose  vehicles  mentioned  in  Annex  XI
following  multi-stage  type-approval,  Member  States  may
grant  vehicle  approvals  based  on  approval  certificates
granted  to  the  manufacturer  of  the  base/incomplete
vehicle  of  such  categories  where  the  provisions  of  Annex
XI allow the vehicle to fulfil the requirements applying to
the  category  to  which  the  base/incomplete  vehicle
belongs.

In  addition,  for  the  subsequent  registration  procedures,
the  manufacturer  of  the  base/incomplete  vehicle  of
categories other than M1  shall issue a written declaration
in  accordance  with  Annex  XV.

11. Subject  to  points  (a)  and  (b)  of  Article  8(2)  of
Directive  70/156/EEC,  as  amended  by  this  Directive,
paragraphs  6  and  7  of  this  Article  shall  not  permit
Member  States  to  derogate  from  any  provisions  of  a
separate  Directive  or  of  this  Directive  which  lay  down
requirements  based  on  total  harmonization  in  respect  of
the  type-approval  and  the  initial  entry  into  service  of  a
vehicle,  component  or  separate  technical  unit.

12. The  provisions  in  point  (b)  of  Article  8(2),  with  the
exception  of  the  words  ‘under  Article  5(5)’  and  of  the
second  indent  of  point  1,  shall  apply  to  vehicles  of
category  M1  equipped  with  an  internal  combustion
engine  which  are  registered  after  the  dates  specified  in
paragraph 7 of this Article and are not accompanied by a
valid  certificate  of  conformity.

13. The  validity  of  type-approvals  previously  granted
under  the  provisions  of  point  (c)  of  Article  8(2)  of
Directive  70/156/EEC  shall  be  deemed  extended  for  a
single  period  of  12  months  from  their  expiring  date.

Article  3

1. Not  later  than  31  December  2000,  on  the  basis  of
relevant  information  communicated  by  the  competent
approval  authorities,  the  Commission  shall  draw  up  a
report  on  the  application  of  the  European  type-approval
procedures, paying particular, but not exclusive, attention
to  the  impact  on  small  and  medium  enterprises  (SME)
involved  in  multi-stage  build,  and  if  appropriate,  shall
propose  the  amendments  required  to 
improve  the
harmonisation  process.

CONFORMITY  OF  PRODUCTION  PROCEDURES

0. 

CONFORMITY  OF  PRODUCTION

Conformity of production to ensure conformity to the approved type as referenced in Article
10 of this Directive including assessment of quality management systems referenced below as
initial  assessment (1)  and  verification  of  the  approval  subject  and  product  related  controls
referenced  below  as  product  conformity  arrangements.

1. 

1.1. 

1.2. 

INITIAL ASSESSMENT

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.

The  requirement  in  point  1.1  must  be  verified  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  authority  granting
type-approval.  That  authority  shall  be  satisfied  with  the  initial  assessment  and  the  initial
product  conformity  arrangements  at  2  below,  taking  account,  as  necessary,  of  one  of  the
arrangements described at 1.2.1 to 1.2.3 below, or a combination of those arrangements in
full  or  in  part  as  appropriate.

1.2.1. 

The actual initial assessment and/or verification of product conformity arrangements may be
carried out by the approval authority granting type-approval or a technical service on behalf
of  the  approval  authority.

1.2.1.1.  When  considering  the  extent  of  the  initial  assessment  to  be  carried  out,  the  approval

authority  may  take  account  of  available  information  relating  to:

—  the manufacturer’s certification described in 1.2.3 below which has not been qualified or

recognised  under  that  paragraph,

—  in the case of component or separate technical unit approval, quality system assessments
performed  in  the  component  or  separate  technical  unit  manufacturer’s  premises  by
vehicle  manufacturer(s),  according  to  one  or  more  of  the  industry  sector  specifications
satisfying  the  requirements  in  harmonised  standard  EN  ISO  9002  —  1994.

(1)  Guidance on the planning and conduct of assessment is to be found in harmonised standard ISO 10011, Parts 1, 2 and

3,  1991.

25.3.98

EN

Official  Journal  of  the  European  Communities

L  91/55

1.2.2. 

The  actual  initial  assessment  and/or  verification  of  product  conformity  arrangements  may
also  be  carried  out  by  the  approval  authority  of  another  Member  State  or  the  technical
service  designated  for  this  purpose  by  the  approval  authority.  In  that  case,  the  approval
authority  of  the  other  Member  State  shall  prepare  a  statement  of  compliance  outlining  the
areas  and  production  facilities  it  has  covered  as  relevant  to  the  product(s)  to  be  type
approved and to the directive according to which these products are to be approved (1). On
receiving  an  application  for  a  compliance  statement  from  the  approval  authority  of  a
Member State granting type-approval, the approval authority of another Member State shall
send  forthwith  the  statement  of  compliance  or  advise  that  it  is  not  in  a  position  to  provide
such  a  statement.  The  statement  of  compliance  should  at  least  include:

Group  or  company:

(e.g.  XYZ  Automotive)

Particular organisation:

(e.g.  European  Division)

Plants/Sites:

(e.g.  Engine  Plant  1  (United  Kingdom)  Vehicle  Plant  2
(Germany))

Vehicle/Component  range:

(e.g.  All  Category  M1  models)

Areas assessed:

(e.g.  Engine  assembly,  body  pressing  and  assembly,
vehicle assembly)

Documents  examined:

(e.g.  Company  and  site  quality  manual  and
procedures)

Assessment:

(e.g.  Conducted:  18  -  30/9/94)

(e.g.  Planned  monitor  visit:  March  1996)

1.2.3. 

The  approval  authority  must  also  accept  the  manufacturer’s  suitable  certification  to
harmonised  standard  EN  ISO  9002  —  1994  (whose  scope  covers  the  locations  of
production  and  product(s)  to  be  approved)  or  an  equivalent  harmonised  standard  as
satisfying  the  initial  assessment  requirements  of  point  1.2.  The  manufacturer  must  provide
details  of  the  certification  and  undertake  to  inform  the  approval  authority  of  any  revisions
to  its  validity  or  scope.

“Suitable”  means  granted  by  a  certification  body  complying  with  harmonised  standard  EN
45012,  and  either  qualified  as  such  by  the  approval  authority  of  a  Member  State  itself,  or
accredited  as  such  by  a  national  accreditation  organisation  of  a  Member  State  and
recognised  by  that  Member  State’s  approval  authority.

The  approval  authorities  of  the  Member  State  shall  inform  each  other  of  the  certification
bodies  they  have  qualified  or  recognised  as  abovementioned,  and  of  any  revision  to  the
validity  or  scope  of  these  bodies.

1.3. 

For  the  purpose  of  the  whole  vehicle  type-approval,  the  initial  assessments  carried  out  for
granting of approvals for systems, components and technical units of the vehicle need not be
repeated,  but  shall  be  completed  by  an  assessment  covering  the  locations  and  activities
relating  to  the  assembly  of  the  whole  vehicle  not  covered  by  the  former  assessments.

2. 

PRODUCT  CONFORMITY  ARRANGEMENTS

2.1. 

2.2. 

Every  vehicle,  system,  component  or  separate  technical  unit  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  XI.

The  approval  authority  of  a  Member  State,  at  the  time  of  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  in  the  separate  Directives.

(1)  For  example,  the  relevant  separate  Directive  if  the  product  to  be  approved  is  a  system,  component  or  technical  unit,

and  Directive  70/156/EEC  if  it  is  a  whole  vehicle

L  91/56

EN

Official  Journal  of  the  European  Communities

25.3.98

2.3. 

The  holder  of  the  approval  must,  in  particular:

2.3.1. 

ensure the existence and application of procedures for effective control of the conformity of
products  (vehicles,  systems,  components  or  separate  technical  units)  to  the  approved  type;

2.3.2. 

have  access  to  the  testing  or  other  appropriate  equipment  necessary  for  checking  the
conformity  to  each  approved  type;

2.3.3. 

ensure  that  test  or  check  results  data  are  recorded  and  that  annexed  documents  remain
available  for  a  period  to  be  determined  in  agreement  with  the  approval  authority.  This
period  is  not  required  to  exceed  10  years;

2.3.4. 

analyse the results of each type of test or check, in order to verify and ensure the stability of
the  product  characteristics,  making  allowance  for  variation  of  an  industrial  production;

2.3.5. 

2.3.6. 

2.3.7. 

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  XI,  are  carried  out;

ensure  that  any  set  of  samples  or  test  pieces,  giving  evidence  of  non-conformity  in  the  type
of  test  or  check  in  question  gives  rise  to  a  further  sampling  and  test  or  check.  All  the
necessary  steps  shall  be  taken  to  restore  conformity  of  the  corresponding  production;

in  the  case  of  whole-vehicle  approval,  the  checks  referred  to  in  point  2.3.5  are  restricted  to
those  verifying  the  correct  build  specification  in  relation  to  the  approval  and  especially  to
the  information  document  laid  down  in  Annex  III  and  the  information  required  for
certificates  of  conformity  given  in  Annex  IX  to  this  Directive.

3. 

CONTINUED  VERIFICATION  ARRANGEMENTS

3.1. 

The  authority  which  has  granted  type-approval  may  at  any  time  verify  the  conformity
control  methods  applied  in  each  production  facility.

3.1.1. 

The  normal  arrangements  shall  be  to  monitor  the  continued  effectiveness  of  the  procedures
established  at  1.2  (initial  assessment  and  product  conformity)  of  this  Annex.

3.1.1.1. 

Surveillance activities carried out by a certification body (qualified or recognised as required
by  paragraph  1.2.3  of  this  Annex)  must  be  accepted  as  satisfying  the  requirements  of  3.1.1
with  regard  to  the  procedures  established  at  initial  assessment  (paragraph  1.2.3).

3.1.1.2.  The  normal  frequency  of  verifications  by  the  approval  authority  (other  than  those  at
3.1.1.1)  shall  be  such  as  to  ensure  that  the  relevant  controls  applied  in  accordance  with
Sections  1  and  2  of  this  Annex  are  reviewed  over  a  period  consistent  with  the  climate  of
trust  established  by  the  approval  authority.

3.2. 

3.3. 

3.4. 

3.5. 

3.6. 

At every review, records of tests or checks and records of production shall be made available
to  the  inspector;  in  particular,  records  of  those  tests  or  checks  documented  as  required  by
point  2.2  of  this  Annex.

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.

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 3.2 the inspector must select samples
to  be  sent  to  the  technical  service  with  conducted  the  type-approval  tests.

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  XI.

In cases where unsatisfactory results are found during an inspection or a monitoring review,
the  approval  authority  must  ensure  that  all  necessary  steps  are  taken  to  restore  conformity
of  production  as  rapidly  as  possible.’
